Fae

Faes are creatures that are easly mistaken to be Elves. Although they may be distant cousins, there are some big differences between them. Faes live in clans, the most known are those who live in the southern woods as they are very religious, peaceful and have strong connection to the nature around them. They have also avoided many wars unlike the Clan in the north near the mountains who are much more aggressive and territorial. They are very loyal to each other. In the south,most Faes are born with some type of magic unlike the northern Clan, who almost every member is born with an animal form. All faes are stronger, faster and nimbler than an average human, their senses are also more precise. Some faes are so well trained that they can tell someone's heritage. They can even tell if someone is lying but one thing that unite all the clans is the desire to keep their bloodlines clean. This means that, if one of the child's parent isn't a fae, the child is not part of the clan and it is either left to die or given to the non fae parent as the child would bring dishonor to the family.

Features
Fae's are tall, slim and well built like any warrior, they usually have red, blonde or white hair with blue or green eyes. Brown and black hair is more common among the demifae as they are partly human or something else. Faes have long hair as short hair is symbol of grief or failure.Faes are said to be amazing beauty and many get easly fooled by it and Faes enjoy it while using it into their advantage.

Magic 

Southern Clans powers are commonly related to nature as they are very loyal to their gods and nature spirts and believe that their magic is a gift from the gods.

In the north Faes are born with an animal form, it can be anything from a hawk to a wolf. In the north they aren't so focused on the gods. But like all Faes they heal faster but Iron can block any faes magic completely and prevent them form healing themselves.

Culture
Faes are overall great hunters, it plays a big part of their culture in the northern clan when the Child turns 15 years old they are send to a hunt for a monster alone, the bigger and more dangerous the prey is the more respect you get and an higher rank as well, of course many die during the hunts for different reasons it can be the cold, hunger or the monster it self. What comes to their animal form, the earlier you find a way to shift the better, commonly children learn how to shift is around the age of 7 and 8 as their training starts at age of 7.

In the southern clan they are more concentrated on the art of healing and different magic spells and so on. They are good fighters as well but not the best. Magic plays a bigger part in their culture and traditions. they have many different rituals for example how to draw magic from a full moon or from a solar eclipse. They are very powerful magicians but because they haven't been part in many wars other than against the Elves long time ago nobody actually knows how powerful they can be.
