Faerie Fact 03: Many faeries are not friendly or kind

In the Faerie Wood game there are many evil as well as good Faeries and those of a good nature are referred to as ‘Light Elves’, evil Faeries are known as ‘Dark Elves’ and those that are neither altogether good nor evil are known as ‘Dusky Elves’. The terms ‘light’ and ‘dark’ do not necessarily mean the Faeries are light skinned or dark skinned, but in some cases this is true. These terms refer mainly to their nature and not their appearance, but sometimes it also indicates when they are most likely to be seen: Dark Elves are mostly active at night (such as Dwarves), where as Light Elves are more active during the daytime or associated with the light.

The Faerie Sparkle: 
All Faerie player characters have something called a 'Faerie Sparkle'. This is a bit like a faerie’s soul and during the game it can become lighter or darker depending how mischievous they are. If a Faerie’s ‘sparkle’ becomes too dark they may start to change into a Dusky or Dark Elf, and if they are really mischievous they will physically change into their ‘Evil Counterpart’. However, if an Elf becomes more light, they may gain more magic. 

Here is a list of the core 10 Faerie Wood player character races with their corresponding ‘Evil Counterpart’:
