Trelf 72points

These faeries are the result of an ancient mixing between elves and trolls. They often appear like ugly elves that are quite large and have long claws. They live mostly undergound or in dark forests. They are quite intelligent and cunning. Fortunately they are very hateful and will not live together in large numbers. They will tend to trust only members of their own families. Their skin color ranges from an ugly color of greenish brown to grey. Their mouths have sharp fangs within them and their eyes have a reddish glint. They are quite tall being around seven feet tall and their frame is very thin, almost gaunt. Their faces are elfin except they have long sharp noses and predatory eyes. They are quite fond of magic and many become fearsome mages. They typically use trolls as slaves and will usually be found with them. They are known to haunt roadways and the sight of a tall thin figure in a dark cloak causes much dismay among travelers.

Eidris

This is a large island off the coast of the Faery Forest. It is an area with a naturally high mana level and for some reason during the Sundering many of the sidhe faeries ended up here. Most returned back to the faery realm but quite a few intermarried with the local human tribes before they returned so there are quite a few humans with sidhe blood here. This island also has many druids and the goddess Brigit has a strong following here. There are also many elves and other faery races that live in the forests.

Barchund Wood.

Ages ago a Forest Gnome Artificer discovered how to alchemically activate the sap of the barchund shrub into a potent sleep drug that is activated by contact with warm blood. He sold the secret to the local Pine Pixies thinking it would let them protect themselves. Within two Generations, the Pine Pixies ruled the forest with a glove of orichaleum! No one passes through the forest without paying high tariffs. Even the proud Elves kneel before their Pixie Masters.

A pixie Barchund arrow has skill 15 for Contest purposes. Multiple hits require multiple Contests. If the Defender wins, that arrow's magic fizzles. Since it's not uncommon for a target to take half a dozen arrows, going unconscious is the general result except against the hardiest of targets.

A typical arrow can be converted into a sleeping potion by an alchemist. Since most of the work is already done, the process takes an hour and requires warm blood, assuming an alchemy lab is available.

Pine Pixies.
ST 3
DX 13
IQ 10
HT 10

Size Modifier -3

Traits: Flight (winged), Personal Invisibility, Area (1 hex) Invisibility. Dread: Being out in the open. (This may be the only reason they haven't conquered everyone already!)

Pixie archer squads close in invisibly, preferably from above and behind, attack without much warning. Two or more of the squad will use the area version of their invisibility to return the attackers to Invisibility as their action so only very good visual perception checks will let them be seen.

they weill negotiate, though they tend to give orders. A quiver holds 20 arrows. Captured Pine Pixies can be ransomed. If the captives have NOT been harmed out of honorable battle, the negotiations are usually honored.
