# The Fey
## Overview
The Fey are mysterious beings deeply connected to the Veil and the oldest forests of Ashenveil.
Neither wholly benevolent nor malicious, they follow customs that often seem strange to mortals.
To the Fey, promises are sacred, names possess power, and every favor carries a price.

## Appearance
No two Fey appear alike.
Some resemble beautiful humans with subtle unnatural features.
Others resemble living flowers, animals, shadows, or creatures woven from moonlight.
