Fey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Singingma (talk | contribs) at 03:35, 30 May 2015 (Far too little information on the Fey was presented here and in the disambiguation pages.

Fey means doomed, or fated to die. In Scottish or Celtic heritage, 'Fey' may also refer to the Seelie or Unseelie courts, which are elf or fairy creatures similar to man but with magical powers. While Seelie may be kind to humans, Unseelie want only their own desires and power and would not care if humans died or came their slaves. Unseelie are sometimes referred to as 'Dark Seelie'. In mythology, 'Fey' can refer not just to an elf or fairy, but to other mythical creatures such as banshees. This meaning has been present in literature, particularly fictional literature, for many years, including prior to the Dungeons & Dragons games which also feature these creatures. Fey and fairies come from many different heritages, including German, French and other primarily European heritages which have had stories based on such beings for centuries.
