Faer Races:
(See 'The Faer Kingdoms' in the Manual)
12. Sprites: are tiny, winged empaths.
(They range from 6 inches to 2 feet, 5 inches in height)
Most live to serve all creatures
around them. Most specialize is serving one type of creature
for life. (Those who love trees
will rarely mix with those who love flowers.) Most have wings
that resemble: Dragonfly's, Butterfly's
or Hummingbirds' wings. Rare Sprites have wings that
resemble undulating translucent circles. Sprites with 'Bats' Wings' often
have peculiar ideas
about how best to serve sentient beings and have been known to test 'Lust
Arrow' spells in
times and places that most would consider 'extremely inappropriate'.
13. Faer Elves: {Faer
Elves are not Meta Morphs} Faer Elves are shortish, spindly, peevish
(they live
for a very very long time and develop intolerance for answering questions
that they believe
they gave everyone the answers for millennia ago-) and eccentric with
a capital 'E'.
They often avoid contact with 'inferior' races by going about as cats.
They can shift their
forms between their Elvish bodies, a pure cat form (almost always a
domestic cat's form), and
a very strange upright creature with 'psychedelic' coloured fur known
as a 'Faer Cat'. A Faer
Elf vegetarian will see nothing wrong with torturing and eating mice
as a cat, and we're almost
afraid to ask what Faer Cats eat.
14. Dhalggers: {Dhalggers
are not Meta Morphs} It is very rare to see a Dhalgger in his
or her 'Natural'
form outside the Faer Kingdoms. Their natural form is that of a humanoid
with a dog's
head. Most Dhalggers go about in 'our' dimension as Half Elves, Humans,
or Ottarians.
Dhalggers can also assume a four legged dog's form. Dhalggers are communal
beings. They
are more intelligent than they look, nearly as empathic as Sprites,
and have a knack for
healing and nurturing. They are not among the best in normal military
arts, unless someone
they care about is threatened. They can often scare an enemy half to
death by changing their
form to resemble a were-wolf. If the ruse fails they're in trouble,
after shifting to that form,
a Dhalgger will not have enough energy left to put up a decent fight.
27. Dryads: are full sized,
winged, beautiful cratures. (They range from 3 to 5.5 feet in
height) It
was long believed that all Dryads were females and 'barren'. This is
not so. They are less capable
of defending themselves than most. They are extremely empathic, and
are the elves of legend,
most likely to "steal" mistreated children from members of almost any
other race. They
cannot stand the thought of suffering, unloved children. And, Although
most of them have very
brightly coloured wings (most often compared to Butterfly's wings) They
have a racial ability
to blend in with their surroundings and become almost invisible, almost
anywhere. Adults
are among the most affectionate creatures in this world. Just don't
neglect or abuse a
child in their presence.
28. Satyrs: are hoofed
men and women, of average height. Most have horns growing out of their
heads. (Some
horns grow out of foreheads, some from beneath the hair line on the
sides of their heads.) Most
have a deep love of music, stories and wine. Most are very gregarious,
friendly creatures. They
are not too crazy about humans, and especially members of the cult that
wears crosses on gold or
silver chains around their necks. These humans mistook Satyrs for demonic
creatures in their legends
and set a bounty on them. Satyrs have strong, furry legs and strong,
sensitive hands.
