Fairies

**Fairies** are a playable race in *The Primordial Eulogy. Added Description*

## Description

Fairies are small creatures, the tallest fairies being only 5'6 with floral motifs. Whatever flower the fairy is "born of" is the flower they emulate. They have wings of various sizes and they also tend to reflect the flower fairies emulate. They have wide ranges of skin tones, hair and eye colors, and hair types.

## Biology

Fairies, while having human like attributes, they have floral like features as well. They have pointed ears, but the tips and sides appear to look like the edges of flower petals, they also have leaves and petals that will grow along their collarbones, back, and shoulders. Typically these will bloom/wither with how the fairy is feeling. Fairies are immortal, the only way they can die is by murder, sickness, or binding. They age very slowly, reaching adulthood after 80 years.

Fairies have mist glands, located on their backs at the base of their wings. There are two types of mist that protrude from their glands. The first one is a black mist called Mace. It is used as a defense mechanism against any threat. Mace smells extremely bad, similar to skunk spray and it causes a burning sensation in the eyes and in the nose and throat. Mace also causes temporary blindness in the threat. The second mist that secretes from the glands is called Pollen. It's not literal pollen but it acts as pollen as a way of showing sexual arousal. Because flowers have different seasons they are in bloom, fairies have different heat and rut cycles. When fairies have entered the heat/rut period, they will consistently secrete small amounts of pollen to signal to others of their state. The pollen levels will rise depending on sexual arousal.

It is considered normal for fairies to have anywhere from 1-3 offspring, which are almost always daughters. They have a small number of offspring for the sake of keeping the family unit close together.

In fairy culture, it is extremely common for fairies to marry and have children with other races, so half fairy individuals are very common and it is common to see fairies outside of their natural home in the fields as a result.

## Personality

Fairies are lawful good or neutral good. They will do anything to protect their kind, even if it means hurting others in the process. Fairies are extremely loyal to their kind and their families. They are extremely rigid and are stubborn creatures, they tend to be closeminded and their only thought processes is whether or not their kind will remain safe.

## Society

### Homelands

Fairies inhabit the plains of Kai Emme, a small space in between the mountains and the forests. They will live partly in the forests, but they will mostly stay where the flowers will grow.

### Diet

Fairies follow a strictly vegetarian diet, consisting of herbs, fruits, vegetables, and even various types of leaves. They will not eat meat and will vehemently reject it if it is offered to them.

### Government

Fairies live in a community based society. They typically live in fields or forests in large groups ranging anywhere from 20-100 fairies per community. While there are separate communities, the groups are all familiar with one another and will trade and visit with each other. Fairies do have a very mild social hierarchy, with each community having a leader that watches over their respective groups. This is mainly for protection and order amongst communities.

### Culture

##### Gender

Sex in fairies is deemed unorthodox compared to their other primordial counterparts. In reference to gender, all fairies have one gender which is woman. It is almost unheard of to see a fairy that does not identify as a woman. However in terms of sex, about fifty percent of the women have vaginas and the other fifty percent have penises. The purpose of this is to reproduce among them, this anatomical difference has no bearing on gender in fairy society.

### Religions

Fairies worship all of the Nymphs, they do not have a Patron Nymph, as all nymphs are equally as important to them.

### Relationship

Courtship amongst fairies is a very casual process, they will typically date multiple other people until finally settling down with one partner, as they are a monogamous society. Fairies will date casually, but then will decide if they want to court, which will then lead to marriage in the future.

When courtship is declared, the couple will exchange what's called a promise bond, which is a spell circle around their wrist which shows they are courting with one another. What the circle looks like will vary from couple to couple and no two couple's circles look the same. Courtship will happen over the span of 1-2 years and after that happens there will be a ceremony of vows in which the spell circle around the wrist will then turn into a circle tattoo around the wrist. After the ceremony there is a celebration to honor the newlywed couple.
