The Fae


Of all the creatures that inhabit the continent of Amalur, none are more magical, more powerful or more tragic than the Fae. For untold aeons these elves have repeated their Cycle time and time again - being born, playing their part in Fate, dying and then doing it all over again. Many Fae see this as the pinnacle of existance - this is clear in their disdain for the mortal races (who Fate controls much less), who they call dustlings. Fae stand at around 8 or 9 feet tall, have pointed ears and slender frames. They are divided into two courts, each itself divided into 3 houses.


The two courts have been at war since Fate began, and as Fate has decreed, neither of them shall ever triumph over the other. Fae are incredibly powerful magical beings, although many prefer to stick to tried and true methods of combat like archery and swordsmanship. When a Fae dies, they return to Esharra, home of Fate, and wait for cycle to begin anew that they might return and perform their role once more.
