Faeries

**Faeries**, also known as **Ellyllon**, **Fenordree**, or sometimes the **Old People**, are a powerful and illusive species of Fae, who typically dwell in a Fae dimension of their own creation and are seldom found on Earth. Unlike other species of Fae who have forsaken the Earth, such as trolls, faeries are able to return to Earth without gaining a diminutive appearance -- unless they choose to do so.

## Characteristics

Faeries naturally exhibit a glamour that makes them highly attractive to any who are viewing them. Most creatures from Earth, such as humans and Wesen, perceive them as glossy, almost glowing people -- humanoid, with pointed ears.

In actuality, faeries have an appearance that is almost goblin-like -- mottled, pale blue skin, marked with boils, moles, and lesions.

Faerie are incredibly secretive about their customs and culture. They love dancing and music, and are renown for frolicking as though utterly carefree. They do have some concerns, and will sometimes guide or protect charges on Earth -- acting as faerie godparents. These charges are often the results of faerie oaths, something taken very seriously. Failing to uphold an oath can bring dishonor upon an entire family line, and may be considered an act of war. Aside from these details, little else is known, as faeries remain secluded in the dimension of Faerie.

The older a faerie gets, the more their power grows. While faeries are not immortal, they have very long lives and the elders and royalty of their community are among the most powerful Fae to exist. Upon their death, faeries disintegrate into faerie dust -- leaving no corpse behind.

### Reproduction

Faeries reproduce in the standard way, through sexual intercourse. A female faerie who has become impregnated will gestate for only a few weeks before giving birth. Prior to the birth, the mother will ingest a lot of salt -- as it is an electrical conductor and will help them induce labor. During labor, instead of pain, faerie mothers will experience sexual pleasure.

Faeries can mate with humans. The children of these couplings are known as halflings, even further down the bloodline when they are more than half human. First generation halflings will grow to adulthood rapidly. Female halflings have more faerie characteristics than male halflings.

### Faerie Blood

Aside from appearing physically attractive, vampires are enticed by the smell of faerie blood. Faerie blood is an intoxicating and addictive substance for vampires -- a fact that nearly led to the extinction of faeries and led to them withdrawing from Earth, entering hiding to protect themselves from the undead, Drinking the blood of a faerie imparts a vampire with new abilities as well:

* Daywalking - a vampire is immune to sunlight while they have faerie blood in their system.
* Enhanced Supernatural Perception - vampires who have imbibed on faerie blood are able to see faerie magic -- invisible faeries, or portals to Faerie will be plainly visible to them.
* Resistance - if a vampire is wounded with faerie blood in their system, the wound will emit a bright light. This includes being staked through the heart which will not be fatal -- though this resistance is very short-lived.
* Immunity - a vampire with faerie blood in their system will be rendered completely immune to Fae magic.

It should be noted that faerie blood contains some substances not found in human blood -- mercury, neon, titanium, and francium. It is therefore impossible to determine the blood type of a faerie, or even a halfling.
