Fae

Fae is a broad species term for many different types of creatures within faekind. There are arguments that some monster groups are inherently linked to being fae despite lineages being much more separate now from fae generally (i.e. werewolves.) Fae of various kinds inherits the mortal plane and other various planes of existence. They hail from the Underground, the plane right beneath the Mortal Plane.

They also range from evil to good but most can't help but want to make deals with humans regardless of alignment. Fae kind have different types within their species and with that also have differing courts and a vast amount of unaligned fae. The two most notable courts are the Seelie Court and Unseelie Court. The rest are rogue and unaligned with anything or anyone but themselves or perhaps a few allegiances of their own but none to the Courts.

Fae are typically classified as such by their geographic origin, and/or their abilities. Some creatures were originally fae and are no longer classified as such but on their own classification.

All fae are weak to Cold Iron. It burns their bodies and scars them permanently in ways they do not typically heal from.
