-- SPECIES GUIDE

•• Fae ••

Fae are small people only about 5-15cm in size. They live in forested areas usually in mushrooms and trees. Fae are strictly female and tend to have slight thin wings allowing them to fly about at rather quick speeds. Fae people also tend to be one of the four elements (fire, water, earth and air) allowing them to have unique abilities that humans are not capable of.

The Fae people live in the city of Gladendale, but are also in residence in the neutral lands of Kellis. They have fought since the beginning of time with the Pixies over dominance and for power—though the battles seem almost pointless and unnecessary by now, many Fae still war against the Pixies today…and continue to believe themselves superior. The Fae rely entirely on the Pixies for the reproduction of their race otherwise they would fail to continue thriving.

•• Pixies ••

Pixies are small people only about 5-15cm in size. They live in forested areas usually in mushrooms and trees. Pixies are strictly male and tend to have slight doubled wings allowing them to fly much like a Bee would. Pixies also tend to be one of the four elements (fire, water, earth and air) allowing them to have unique abilities that humans are not capable of.

The Pixies live in the city of Mopelle, but are also in residence in the neutral lands of Kellis. They have fought since the beginning of time with the Fae over dominance and for power—though the battles seem almost pointless and unnecessary by now, most Pixies still war against the Fae today…and continue to believe themselves superior. The Pixies rely entirely on the Fae for the reproduction of their race otherwise they would fail to continue thriving.

•• Brownies ••

Brownies are small people only about 10-30cm in size…most of them closer to the lower end of the spectrum. They live in small holes in the ground, preferring meadows to forested lands but needing both to survive happily. They are friends with both the Fae and Pixies. They have only Earth Based abilities.

Brownies live in the cities of Mopelle, Gladendale and Kellis. They are the ruling species of Kellis as it is their official city. They despise war and are strictly peaceful people—though the odd Brownie will be spiteful, usually the trouble they cause is all in good fun. Brownies consider everyone equally and are the most neutral standing species.

•• Tree Sprites ••

Tree Sprites are usually close to 10cm in size. They live strictly in trees but in both Mopelle and Gladensdale. Tree spirits take on many forms but usually look very humanoid. They tend to be most commonly like a hybrid between animals (most commonly birds) and humans. They help the trees grow by pulling loose bark off the trees, planting any acorns, nuts and seeds that fall so the forest may thrive, and by driving out invading insects that may cause their tree harm.

Tree Sprites are playful and indifferent to the war between the Fae and Pixies. They don’t care who wins, who loses or if there is a tie. They just want the forest to be healthy and thriving. They are most closely connected as a race to the Brownies. Tree Sprites can levitate to move about. Tree Sprites only have Air or Water based abilities.

•• Forest Spirit ••

Forest Spirits range from 3-12cm in size. The live everywhere around the forest in any type of home they can find. Many of them do not have one home and simply move location to location since they don’t tend to be very materialistic beings. They appear as many forms that vary in type though often appear humanoid. Their forms are often made of what appears to be light or fire instead of something solid.

Forest Spirits range drastically in personality and tend to even fight amongst themselves. Their purpose is as guardians of the forest though they haunt it more than they protect it. They can certainly be compared to a type of ghost. They have no care for the war going on though they tend to know the gossip and help it travel more than the other species. Forest Spirits are known for their conversations with trees and plants around the forest. Forest Spirits can levitate to move about. Forest Spirits only have fire based abilities.

•• The Trees ••

The trees talk more than they do anything else. They observe the actions of the creatures within the forest but do nothing to change the outcome of the war happening inside their boundaries. They are the homes to many of the creatures in the forest. The Trees enjoy gossip and talking about the small little beings who run about, often sharing stories with the Forest Spirits, Fae, Pixies, Brownies and Tree Sprites. They tend to converse openly with the Forest Spirits as they feel a kindred spirit with them and they have a high regard for the Tree Sprites.

•• Insects ••

Bugs…you all know bugs. Bugs are the pets and mode of transportation for the Fae, Pixies, Brownies, Tree Sprites and Forest Spirits. They can not speak intelligibly to the creatures (the ones previously listed) but they do seem to understand them much better than they should. The Insects don’t mind being a part of the over all scheme of things, but they do not take well to warring Fae and Pixies, often trying to avoid confrontation with their own kind.

•• Forest Animals ••

Most Forest Animals live peacefully alongside all of this activity, often oblivious to what is going on. They go about their average lives—though be careful. The Forest Animals have at times eaten the smaller beings by accident or even trampled them without knowing they were there. This is a potential threat to any creature under the size of a squirrel.
