Fae

Fae is a loose and general naming of the various Faery folk of Ar'ta. It includes Fawries, Faeries, Imps, Wisps, Toponi and others, both evil and benevolent. They are magical creatuires, most of whom were killed off or driven away during the cleaning of the small folk. They are all small in size, ranging from an inch tall to a couple of feet. They all posses some form of magic, and although able to appear as different sizes and forms, all except the wisps have a humanoid form.

Although in actuality, there are very little left, Imps and Toponi are frequently blamed for bad luck or crop failure. Many stories are told, most exaggerated to rediculous proportion, to scare children to bed or to avoid bad behaviour. Superstitious folk often use charms and wards to keep safe from such demons.

Some fae are seen as good forces however, and many believe that to see a wisp is good luck, and if you follow it, you might even come across a pot of gold.
