Fey

The Fey are a mysterious race, originating from the continent of Olympus, as far as anyone knows. While similar in appearance to humans, their bodies are slim and graceful with fine features and pointed ears. They're known to have an exceptionally long lifespan, though not nearly as long as that of Dragla. They're deeply attuned to nature, and by extension, Mystia. While the Gelvaran are the only Fey with whom humans and other races have really met and communicated with, we now know there are other Fey races, cousins of the Gelvaran. Perhaps the most mysterious and elusive of them all are the Dusgelvan, dark fey who evolved from a sect of Fey which broke off and went their separate way centuries ago, going to live in the dark woods of Southern Olympus, where Gelvaran dare not venture. From what Gelvaran scouts have been able to ascertain, the Dusgelvan have amassed a vast empire throughout those dark woods. Though they haven't made any moves toward war yet, there are some in the Olympusian government who believe war with the Dusgelvan is not far off.   Recently, another Fey sub-species has been found living up in the frozen wasteland of Arctica, the Frostelvan, snow fey who have adapted to living in extreme cold climates. The Frostelvan are a nomadic people, migrating across the snowy and frozen lands of Arctica, following the migrating herds of various large Mystimon, such as Mammothraw.   There are legends, though, of another race of Fey which preceded all current Fey subspecies, called the Altaran. According to legends, they were much more alien in their appearance, being slightly taller than current Fey, and having strange elongated heads, as well as long arms and fingers. However, no evidence of such beings has ever been found.   As far as appearance, Dusgelvan, at least from what reports exist as they are very secluded, seem similar to Gelvaran in stature, but have a greyish tint in their skin colour, and dark/black eyes. Frostelvan also are similar in stature to Gelvaran though have a bit more muscle, as well as a bluish skin colour and blue-green or turquoise eyes.
