Fey (fā)
Mischief in the Woods. Laughter of the Forest.
Living as the main dwellers of the Feywild, the Fey come in all shapes and flavors. Mischievous by default and always looking for trouble, these creatures are notorious among Elves and men for their underhanded and sometimes outright cruel tricks.
Every now and then, a child will go missing from their homes and into the woods. A man will return with his body bloodied and feet broken from dancing until he could no longer move. The Fey are known for their variety of evil tricks and are often the talk of much debate as to why they are allowed to own territory at all. It is thought that their Mantis Prince, Cassa is one of the only people keeping the Fey in such large influence.

Social Structure
Fey are a naturally chaotic and rebellious kind and do not fall under one specific ruler or nobleman when it comes to internal dynamics. However, when outsiders are involved in the politics of the Fey, Mantis Prince, Cassa is their speaker.
Civilization and Culture
Gender Ideals
Unlike most of the other species who may have a specific gender binary or may take on both halves of the gender binary, Fey are one of the unique races that have no gender ideals or binary in the majority of their population. While pronouns may still be used to address others when speaking in Common, the Fey language of Sylvan is completely devoid of gendered language. When an outsider does not know how to refer to a Fey individual, the most common and accepted procedure is to just use a name or honorific in place of normal gendered language.
