Fairies S-Z

The Shewri
Spirits who lurk along the paths in the otherworld or human roads. They are pale and in tattered clothes, often covered with blood. They mislead or misdirect the unwary. Some can be bribed to provide help or information instead.

Sili Ffrit
Small wingless fairies that are akin to the English brownies. They keep their names secret. Any human or fey who knows their name and uses it has power to make them answer three questions or perform three tasks without payment. Each individual can only use thier name on them once. They are excellent cooks, craftsmen, artisans and smiths, each specializing in a specific art.

Urisks
Ugly, wrinkled with mishapen and bloated limbs and an ghoulish, guant vissage. They are spirits of the gloaming and don't always realize that they dead. They feed on the life force of the living but cannot cross lines of salt or harm those wearing quartz crystal pendants.

Vortexes
In the gloaming, they are twisted funnels of light and shadow. They are ghosts, souls caught up in the pain and sorrow of their death which they will unleash on anyone they touch.

Water Leapers
Also called the Llamhigyn Y Dwr, they have a limbless body like a frog with batlike wings and a scaly tail. Water Leapers feed on fish and small reptiles and amphibians. Their intelligence is comparable to domesticated dogs and cats. They rarely attack fey or humans but have a painfully loud, shrieking cry that can be very nerve-wracking.
