4.14.5 THE FAELING RACE
Faelings are not descended from an Elder God. Rather, they are the cross
between an elfen and a creature of the fae. Faelings are almost always
raised in elfen communes, and are given special status by wiccans.
Physically, they look like extremely diminutive elfen, even smaller than
the furrikin, and they all have elaborate butterfly-like wings enabling
them to fly. While not very strong, they make up for that in speed and
intellect.
Ever since the undead elfen Rowena Nightshade tricked Laeroc, Consort of
the Queen of the Fae into fathering her child, faelings who take the path
of the wyrden Great Nature Spirits of Night or Crow transform into shadow
faelings, a curious breed of faeling, larger than others of their kind,
with a dark complexion that seems to churn with shadows, more bat-like
wings, and eyes that glow with a somber red fire.
