Fairies
From the beginning....
Some believe that the fairies had been once elves. There is a tale, a myth about how they came about. The Goddess of Nature once oversaw the forest, and all that lived within. As the Goddess of Nature, she fell in love with the God of Light. The God of Light was prideful however, and turned down her love. In an attempt to gain his attention, the Goddess turned to Light’s counterpart, the Goddess of Darkness. Darkness, being mischievous as she always was, turned her to the God of Cosmos for advice. The God of Cosmos told her that the God would need to be brought down from the sky in order for them to be together, but the price was that the stars would ever rule the skies, and the trees will begin to die from the lack of sunlight, so their time together was limited. She agreed. So, Cosmos forced Light down to the earth, uniting the two together. Light changed, he became more loving to Nature, and she enjoyed begin with him. But, the forest began to fade. The forest had become red, the leaves and plants dying. She could feel that she was dying as well. As Light told her how much he loved her, she knew that if this continued the forest was going to perish, then her people will die as well. She had to get Light back into the sky, so she gave elves wings as he did not wish to leave. He resumed his position back in the sky, and the forest continued to resume to normal, except for one spot. The Niwetri Forest, created during their time together, the pink forest shall ever remain as a reminder of the gods’ mistakes. The Goddess of Nature lives on, separated by the light but guarding the Niwetri Forest, protecting the memory of the time they shared.
The actual history of the fairies is quite different from myth. However, it has always been ruled by royalty, with close ties to the church. The fairies have always kept their forest well guarded, as it was extremely small so their military force was sufficient. They did not partake in the war, nor did they accept many refugees. They minded their own business, busy with their own matters within the Niwetri Forest. They did not get along with elves, and often they fought for territory. Once the war ended, they were reluctant to agree unless their terms with the elves were agreed with. Handing over all the pink tree territories that the elves had seized seemed to please the fairies, and they joined the alliance. Still they are not very active in foreign matters to this day, often keeping to themselves in their forest.
The fairies range from all different sorts of people. The majority of them can be found living in Niwetri, helping out society and doing their duty. Those who live outside the forest often become vagabonds or gypsies, becoming known as thieves to the other races. They are ruled by royalty, often under a king and a queen. They have close ties to the church and rule closely with the Pontiff. The Pontiff is just as respected as the royalty, who crowned them. The fairies are considered to be one of the most religious of races, worshipping mainly the God of Light, for he gave them wings and distinguished them from the elves. Near the castle is the large cathedral, which many can see even from Dryhtwood Forest. They are a prideful race, and mostly attend to their own matters. Since the war had ended, the fairies had a slight shift in culture. Many of them have focused on culture, becoming well known for their performances, art, and ceremonies. Parties and many holidays have become more apparent, and what once had been a stricter culture the fairies have become more laid back. Their army, called the Swordsmen, now mostly parade in the city since there is no war to fight in. Many races come far and wide for their parades, as they never fail to dazzle their spectators with their sword tricks. They live to be around three hundred years old.
Appearance
The appearance of the fairies is that they have pointed ears, translucent wings that vary in size, color, and pattern. Their bodies vary in size, from 3 inches tall to the same height as humans, though they are naturally more petite but not always. They can change their size into larger or smaller forms, but it takes a great amount of energy to do this. They normally have the same size as one or both of their parents.
Magic
All fairies have the magic to fly due to their wings, but they can also practice small forms as magic as well. Simple tasks they can perform, but their magical ability is not as great as elves or mages.
Fairy Ranks
King: OPEN Queen: OPEN Princesses: (If they have any daughters) OPEN Princes: (If they have any sons) Aedion Horvath, OPEN The royal family had a long line of blood that was passed down since the beginning of time itself. They are devout to the God of the Light, and rule within the castle hardly ever going outside.
Pontiff: OPEN A very important figure to the fairies, the Pontiff resides in the cathedral, and makes appearances during parades and other festivals. They are well guarded by the Swordsmen, and preach about the religion to the fairies as well as administering the church.
General Swordsman and Swordsmen: OPEN Despite its name, any gender of fairy can join the swordsmen. What was once a somewhat large military, had now dwindled in number since the war had ended. They patrol the city, guard the castle and cathedral, and participate in parades. They use the same swords and unique fighting style as they did in the war. Using serrated swords, they seemingly dance as they fight, using an ancient technique that the fairies had developed long since the wars began. Swordsmen: OPEN
Head Healer: Tempest Meadowlark Often at odds with the church, there is a head healer of the fairies that takes care of the ill and wounded. Although that is rarely the case now since the war had ended, they still run their infirmary within the midst of Niwetri, still taking in anyone that seeks aid, even if they are not fairy. It is said that the head healers have been present even long before the treaty and even the church, which is why they are still allowed to practice their healing. They have many assistants and healers working beneath them.
