Fae

The Fae are a class of beings that live past The Hedge currently involved in a bitter war with the Ilyean Empire. A varied number of races make up the fae, ranging from elves to ogres.

Stories say that the fae can control minds and steal children, only to replace them with fae replicas. They supposedly dislike cold iron and weapons made with such metal are more effective against them.

While originally believed that there would be no fae on the new continent, at least four of the New Pyleaus adventurers know of their existence and some have even interacted with them directly. They are the source of Jedda's powerful Human Slaying Arrows and were responsible for helping Flamebeard escape imprisonment on Hernandez's boat. These acts weren't done out of the kindness of their hearts. They were given a sample of the rare and precious metal being sought by the Empire in exchange for their assistance.
