Fey

TBA

**Fey Kind** are a species of humanoids who have 'extra abilities with nature', as well as the ability of magic, which causes many to ostracize and persecute them. There at least ten clans in Uther Pendragon's kingdom.

## Overview

> "*Uncanny. He almost passes for human.*"
> ― Abbott Wicklow, observing Gawain[source]

The Fey have been forced into hiding in some areas because of the persecution of them by the Red Paladins and humans. The Church sees them as "other" and evil, especially so because they do not worship the Christian god. In an effort to "cleanse" their society, the Red Paladins have burned Fey at the stake and killed off entire villages. Although generally human in appearance, it is said that they themselves are not human. Although some sport appendages such as antlers which mark them as obviously Fey, some are almost completely human in appearance. Members of the Fey sometimes refer to humans as "man-bloods."

The Fey have their own language, which they sometimes use among members of their own kind.

The sub-clans of the Fey seem to each have their own leaders, with Cora being the leader of the Fauns and Wrother as the leader of the Tusks.

## History

Merlin mentions the Fey being forced into the trees with the coming of Man.

## Known Types/Clans of Fey

There are a number of different types of Fey, who are also separated into different clans. They can *sometimes* be identified by appearance. For example, Sky Folk tend to look the most human unless they are using their powers, which causes green vines to appear on their faces. While the Snake Clan has scaly, reptilian skin. These known kinds of fey include:

* **Sky Folk**: most human-like; using magic reveals (green) vines to appear on their face, called the Fingers of Airimid ;
* **Snake Clan**: partial reptilian skinned;
* **Moon Wings**: pale to white skin, thin butterfly-like wings; they sleep during the day; live in trees. They are rarely seen and Squirrel comments at one point that the Weeping Monk kills Moon Wings, asking sarcastically if this makes him brave.
* **Tusks**: horns grow from skull -- often at least one pair of sheep/goat-like.
* **Fauns**: have reindeer-like antlers and are skilled archers.
* **Ash Folk**: rare (possibly near extinction); might be able to sense other Fey; can change skin color into green

## Trivia

The Fey have a saying when they pass away: "Born at the dawn, to pass away in the twilight." The full saying, as spoken by Gawain, seems to be:

> "*A knight of the Fey is one with the land, as enduring as the Great River and as true as Arawn's bow. We are born in the dawn*."
>
>

To which Percival gives the reply:

> "*To pass in the twilight*."
>
>

When meeting someone whom they believe to be a fellow Fey, they will often quote the phrase "Born at the dawn," as a sort of test, to which the person being spoken to is supposed to then reply "to pass away in the twilight."
