We Hidden Ones

Once these were our lands, now we hide in shadows and avoid the sound of bells.

Basically, this takes the discredited theory that the faeries were a pygmy people living in Europe from ancient times and either dying out or marrying in to the dominant groups in their areas at different times between the end of the middle ages and the early 18th century. The fans of Margret Murrey's Witchcult in Western Europe still support this theory.

Basically, assume a TL2 people living in Britain and Ireland in the late 1400s. The adults of this group are about a foot shorter than ordinary humans of the same ST. This can vary. Being able to pass for an ordinary human should be a Perk. Being instantly spotable as one of the "Little People" is an Unnatural Feature .

The faeries use whatever magic system your fantasy England uses. They use it far more often than ordinary humans, but they are more primal/primitive in how they use magic. The Faeries always have special talents with illusion and invisibility.

As faeries the PCs are trying to survive both as individuals and a tribe. They make sure to avoid the officials of both Church and State.
