A fey was a type of magical, enigmatic creature generally originating from the Vivid Realms. These beings, born of magic and nature, were known for their otherworldly beauty, whimsical nature, and often unpredictable behavior. In appearance, fey varied widely: some resembled delicate, ethereal humanoids while others took on more animalistic forms, blending seamlessly with the flora and fauna of their homes. They were creatures of extreme emotion, though the nature of these emotions depended on their connection to the Seelie Court or Unseelie Court.
In the Material Realm plane, fey typically inhabited places where the boundary between the Feywild was thin, such as ancient forests, flower-filled meadows, and hidden groves. They thrived in areas untouched by civilization, where the magic of the natural world was strongest. Fey were deeply connected to the cycles of nature and often served as protectors and guardians of Fey Crossroads.
