[edit] Introduction

Just as Aebrynis has its native peoples, so does the Shadow World. Fey creatures have inhabited Cerilia since before recorded history, yet they are not entirely native, as for long years, they led a dual life, existing principally in the Fairie World and only occasionally visiting Aebrynis. Fey creatures include such creatures as dryads, sirines, nymphs, pixies, treants, unicorns, and halflings.

The path between the Faerie realm and the Aebrynis has never been easy, but some Fey creatures have always crossed the borders between the two worlds, just as some inhabitants of Aebrynis desire to spend time in the Shadow World. As the power of the Cold Rider grows, more Fey creatures are finding paths into Aebrynis and attempting to make new homes. It is rumored that the Halflings were one of the first Fey races to come en masse to Aebrynis and become permanent residents. If so, other fey newcomers may share their fate, for the halfling race is rumored to have lost most (if not all) of the fey magic it possessed before embracing life in the world of mortals.
