The Fae

The Fae are a powerful type of being. Though mortal, they are the physical embodiments of different forces and aspects. The Fae is a catch-all term for all races and beings born of the Land of Faerie. The Fae are unique in the sense that there are entire species of beings, but individuals are also entirely unique from the other. It is easier to group fae together based off of their interaction with people, than it is to pinpoint exactly the type or species of Fae that someone encounters.

History
The original Fae are known as the Tuatha de Danaan. They were the first to venture from the Land of Faerie through the Astral Plane onto Earth. They first emerged in what is now Ireland. When they emerged they also manifested Fairy Mounds, which now act as permanent, but semi-active, doors directly to Faerie.
