Faerie:
The Faerie are from the Celtic-mythos, nature spirits brought to life by the
essence that they represent. You'll find faerie almost e everywhere, the
happiest ones happen to live in my sock-drawer, though. There are many kinds of
faeriekith as from the Celtic-mythology. Some are good and some are slightly
malignant when it comes to humans. Stealing newborn babies & leading travelers
off of cliffs and stuff, but we try not to do that too often; got us into BIG
trouble before.
Pixies:
Ah, Pixies. My sorts to play with. They are a type of faekith that abide in
the joys of living, are much less likely to be pranksters to anyone but those
who are mean to them. They adore music and dancing. Oftentimes may even
accidentally break precious china in the process; china makes an excellent
mirror surface for dancing next to. Pixies were often blamed for the odd sounds
that new houses make when the materials expanded and contracted in cold & warm
seasons, & were mostly blamed for causing doors to stick when the weather turned
damp. (Not that they were wrong to blame them...those doors get ANNOYING after
the umpteenth time you've been smashed by one!!)
Sprites:
Sprites are the more playful nature spirits, and are not likely to inhabit
anything but a tree, a special pond, or any other place that's serene and cool.
They are often found playing with nymphs, or tormenting butterflies (not that
the butterflies don't like it.) Sprites were charged with changing the colors
of the leaves on the trees come autumn, and they took their jobs seriously!
Each one comes fully equipped with bright orange & yellow paints and several
paint brushes to make sure his/her job is d one properly. Sprites are also some
of the most creative of the faekith ... being muses to artists and poets.
Sometimes they even decide to bond themselves to a human or elven and stay with
them their entire lives; sometimes these Sprites even follow their bonded into
the Otherworld. (Note: There are also weather-Sprites who deal with the clouds
and rain, but that's normally done by particular rogue Faerie who like to cause
havoc. *giggle*)
Gnomes:
The Gnomes are the more civic minded faekith. They are the more earthly biased
of them. The guardians of sacred grounds, locations, and monuments. Their
greatest weakness is for gemstones and sparkly things which they are in a
constant state of unearthing and then redepositing somewhere else. They made
works of beauty out of the rock formations in remote areas. Some Gnomes have
also taken into jus' living in the forests under trees, and while others have
taken even to living with humans. There have been few reports of the Elder
Gnomes which are the Earth-Spirits that I orignally begot this paragraph with.
