== The Fae ==

The fae are a diverse and ancient people native to the Land. Though they share a humanoid form, every fae bears some trace of insectlike features—slender antennae, compound eyes, chitinous skin, or delicate wings. They are bound by curious rules of their nature: iron is anathema to them, and while they may twist words, speak in riddles, or omit truths, they cannot—or will not—tell a direct lie.  

All fae possess some measure of magic, often tied to illusions or subtle enchantments. Their abilities vary as widely as their forms, and their power is not measured by appearance alone. The smallest pixies and sprites are nearly feral, living more as wild creatures than thinking folk. Brownies, redcaps, and elves stand closer to humans in intelligence, culture, and craft. At the highest tier are the Lords and Ladies, towering figures of strange beauty and terrible majesty, who command magics that lesser fae can scarcely comprehend.  

The fae are whimsical, capricious, and dangerous, but they are also woven into the very fabric of the Land, shaping its forests, its paths, and its secret rules.
