The Smallfolk of Faerie in The Realms

Steel Realms Logo

Mostly The Smallfolk of Faerie in The Realms have retreated from the world. They are the original Smallfolk of Faerie that traveled along the Aelfpaths. They can be found in deep forests, away from larger species, but are mostly harmless. In some places, things such as the Rhylan Weald Accordance govern relations with them. Like most smallfolk of faerie, they dwell in Ellosarr (Faerie Homes) – usually within the larger protection of a Weald, if not directly in it.

Defenses: Hordes of smaller natural animals, coordinated regular sized animals, and key gigantic animals.

Lightbringers vs Smallfolk: A tension/animosity between Faerie Smallfolk and the Lightbringers developed over the ages.
