Overview

Children of the Air

 ‎ Sylvan tales tell of a great war in that land that forced them from the ancestral grounds, cursing the Sylvan Southlands with death and rot. Thereafter, they were either forced to survive in a tiny plot of land in the northern area of the mountains, or, like most of most of the Primal Sylvans, flee the continent for thousands of years. Those who remained in the western valley, nestled primarily in the small, northern valley regions, were the only known Sylvan residents of the continent for many millennia. It wasn’t until much later, when the Canzian people crossed over into the western mountain valleys that the early records of modern Faekin were first etched in history. The modern-day Faekin, sometimes referred to in common as simply “Fae”, are thought to be the closest physical representation of the ancient, Primal Sylvan people of the first ages.

 ‎ Faekin have a well-earned reputation for their vibrant spirits, gregarious personalities, and love of revelry. Aspects of all cultures and people are present in their ancestral home Land and have each influenced the current Faekin in some small ways. ‎Their free and whimsical nature fights against a permanently settled lifestyle. They are the longest-lived people in the Beanut Lands, which has drastically affected their evolution in contrast to other species. Regardless of their longevity, from birth to the moment of their death, Fae are known to delight in what other people might consider childish fancies and tricks, and yet they have such a deep connection with the world’s nature that even the youngest of them can exhibit ageless wisdom.

Sylvan Supergroup

 ‎ Today, the Sylvan people all differ dramatically in outward appearance, and though they don’t all share as many outward physical similarities, they are all connected in a way that supports their label as descendants of the same Primal Sylvan species. The Sylvan group includes the Faekin, Bodren and Fangren people.

Etymology

The Common word fae comes from a translation of the modern Sylvan word shae (pronounced shee), which is a transliteration from the Aerosylvan ᎦɦคᏋ, which is itself a translation from the ancient, primal language of nature which is incredibly esoteric. Many Common language speakers have trouble uttering the precise sound that the Aerosylvan equivalent requires, so the standard Sylvan version is the most used. The addition of the -kin is most attributed to the greater integration of the Sylki Fae people into Grimkin cultures in the northern Grimlands, where they were the most visible Fae to exist outside the Harmonious Glen until the current age and subsequent establishment of the modern Wyndi culture.
