==Fae Powers==

The Fae or Fair Folk are the beings dwelling beyond the elemental poles. The unshaped Fair Folk who remain beyond the edges of Creation are hostile to all things of constant shape and form; they are Creatures of Darkness.

A great number of Fair Folk, however, have entered the world and taken on shape; they are no longer Creatures of Darkness by default. The vast majority of these beings are inimical to the beings of Creation — hunting down humans and feeding on their hopes and dreams — but some few choose to live among men as either lords or simple citizens. Fair Folk come in two classes: the ruling Nobles, and the subservient Commoners. 

The Raksha are divided into four castes: 
* Diplomats, who favor the Staff Grace and the virtue of Conviction 
* Entertainers, who favor the Cup Grace and the virtue of Compassion 
* Warriors, who favor the Sword Grace and the virtue of Valor 
* Workers, who favor the Ring Grace and the virtue of Temperance 


Noble Raksha belong to two of the four castes, favoring the graces and virtues of both. There is also a fifth Grace, the Heart Grace, which is associated with identity and the trait of Willpower. Graces are differing outlets for the use of Essence and are similar to the suits of tarot. The relevant caste(s) should help inform the sorts of Powers that are appropriate for any given Raksha.

The following Powers are common to all Raksha:
* Environmental Protection (Wyld) 
* Leach (Ranged; deals Mental Stress and heals Essence Consequences)
* Lifeless (Immortal - they are not physical beings with mortal concerns like eating, sleeping and breathing)
* Resistance (Wyld/Glamours) 
* Resistance (Immunity: Elemental - choose one of Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Wood)
* Sense (Essence and Wyld energy)


They will also tend to manifest a number of other Powers specific to their chosen form, such as Body Weaponry, Flight, Imbue Armour and so on. They may not take Super-Powers. Raksha may learn Terrestrial Martial Arts, but cannot use any form of Sorcery. Instead they may use Wyld Shaping for a similar effect.

All Fae share the following vulnerabilities:
* Weakness (Cannot heal Essence Consequences outside of Wyld-tainted areas)
* Weakness (Weapons wrought from cold iron deal +4WR)


Furthermore, Raksha are alien to Creation, their minds and motives unfathomable even to the Primordials, for they are not the work of the Titans. Upon cementing a static form they incorporate certain tendencies into their personal narrative, tendencies in accord with those Virtues upon which Creation is founded. These take the form of Weaknesses specific to their Virtues.

The most powerful of the Fair Folk are the Unshaped. Unlike the Raksha, the Unshaped are unable to survive within Creation for extended periods of time, each Unshaped is actually a symbiotic cluster of Fair Folk consisting of a single "guiding intelligence" and one or more "subsidiary intelligences" with no true form. They should be treated in a similar way to Spirits.

Fae Commoners have a PTL of 3, with Nobles having a PTL of 4. The Unshaped may have a PTL up to 6.
