The Fayrie

The info here is in a state of flux, everything can be changed!

Summary

questions

See the below on atmosphere. There could conceviably be "farmers" in such a world, but I doubt anyone from around here would identify them as such. As for technology and weaponry, it seems that though the broad terms could be used for the idea of tools at the fay's disposal, the concepts of technological development, pitched combat, and fuels would be foreign to the Fay. I think they should have a much more sylvan feel, creatures of the woodlands, jungles, depths, and caves. Mysterious, elusive, and nearly incomprehensible. Ziggy 22:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

facts

• Fay use magic intrinsically without training much like a sorcerer from D&D
• Fay can not be killed but do die eventually; their lifespan can last from a few hours to hundreds (thousands?) of years
• Fay shed and consume fay dust
• Fay are weak to conductive metals

Atmosphere

From the discussion so far it seems like we've been talking about what I'm calling "Fairy", a world much like our own (forests, farmers, ranchers, etc) but perhaps it has people with wings and different looking plants. However, the Faierie that I'd like to shoot for is a much wilder and stranger place than the discussion up to this point seems to be indicating. Kind of like this.

However, I'm willing to come to middle ground if that's too strange. It just seems that the Fay should be a bit more insane than we seem to be giving them credit for.

HAHA hey im all for that too, i like the idea of having a world that is bound together by strangness instead of rules. why dont you and luke take the discution above and at least put a few basics in stone so we have something to launch from.--Zack 19:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

effeminate

The fayrie are very effeminate, from giddy and girly to austere and graceful. However these words rarely apply "badass" "violent" "reckless" "Loud" etc.

Metal

Fay are weak to conductive materials (especially gold and silver), making most human technology dangerous. the details of what metal does to them are fuzzy... and possibly should be left as such.

ranting

The Fay live in Faierie, a land of enchantment, illusion, and general all-around magic. They are themselves fundamentally creatures of magic, and can be in turns mischievous, helpful, and obscure.

are the fay immortal? can they die at all? can they only die of natural causes.... or even only die of natural ones? OOoo, it could be like an inverse of elves, they live so long and they cannot die in anyway except by their age! that would be funky!
