Background: Meaning otherwordly in the English language, (fae, fey, fay) able to read future. Most popular image is small, winged, human like female creature most likely naked. However they are not though akin to creatures with wings in the mystic realm like pixies ones associated with malice and/or mischief. Fae are what you would call 'noble'. Having talents from magic to metalwork and even beyond. They are a creature intune with nature probably the wisest and to some the most fairest with the ability to live extremely long lengths of time. However, they can die because of wounds, poison but still will heal more easily than humans. Playful in nature fae do have a very sad way to die and that is if they fall in love with a mortal and than have their hearts broken. Unfortunately death is the aftermath for the mortal as well because of causing such a pain to someone and can only be bypassed if the fae wishes it as sort of a Last Wish kind of thing.
