In many realms Elves are classified as Fey and conversely in many realms Fey are considered elven races. The specificity of the difference depends on the shadow under consideration.

Garden Trolls/Gnomes

Such garden trolls can heal sick plants, cause covering plants to extend and prosper. Thye can purify fouled water. They can be fierce foes of rabbits and rats and other garden pests. They often use insects as domesticated beasts in the protecion and prosperity of their gardens. They can be fiercely loyal to a plot of land and even to the family that lives on it and prospers.
