Associated Classes

Druid, Wizard, Bard

Seelie

Seelie fey are those that have opted to welcome mortal folk into the fold, to help them get the most of the magical world they inhabit.

Domovoi

Domovoi are helpful house-spirits that take the form of a small, hairy man, nearly all obscured by a bushy beard. They are willing to help clean and tidy up the house, provided they are given food and shelter (small offerings of wheat and milk usually do the trick), and that the family isn't inordinately messy. They also protect the home from other fey influences, making them quite useful in a land with possible pernicious fey.

Abilities

Produce Flame, Pryotechnics, Flaming Sphere.

Recruit Domovoi
You request for a domovoi to move into your house, to help protect it from malign influences.
Level: 1
Category: Summoning
Time: Extended Rest
Duration: Instantaneous
Component Cost: 1 Healing Surge, 5 gp.
Market Price: 10 gp
Key Skill: Diplomacy (DC 10)
Success: A domovoi comes to live in your house. While it lives there, and is appeased, it protects the house from other fey spirits. A domovoi is appeased by feeding it occasionally (it is fond of bread, seeds, and milk), and by keeping the house fairly clean. If appeased, it will help with household chores, helping to keep the corners clean. If the domovoi ever becomes displeased, it may express this by starting small fires, rattling things in the night, or even by accosting the house owner, trying to force them out of their home.
Failure: You spend the cost, and nothing happens. You can try again after an extended rest.

Gorse-Fairy

Gorse-fairies inhabit the gorse shrubbery common in the land. The shrubs are large, smell of coconut, and have bright yellow flowers that bloom all winter. They grow rapidly (even in poor soils), are highly flammable, and are covered in sharp thorns. The fairies are childlike beings that are quite protective over their homes, and who try to bring happiness into dismal situations.

Abilities

Bloom in the Winter
The gorse-fairies give you hope in the most dismal of circumstances.
Level: 1
Category: Summoning
Time: Extended Rest
Duration: Until Triggered
Component Cost: 1 Healing Surge, 50 gp.
Market Price: 500 gp
Key Skill: Nature (DC 15)
Success: You and your allies gain the Gorse-Fairy Boon. This boon triggers when all who have the boon meet a violent death (such as in combat). When the boon triggers, the last person to have met their death is suddenly revived, though only to their bloodied value. Still, this is one small bloom of hope.
Failure: You spend the cost, and nothing happens. You can try again after you gain a level.

Unseelie

Unseelie fey regard mortalkind as an annoyance at best, though many are quite a bit more actively hostile. Like all fey, they can be inscrutable and even rewarding, but such a reward is almost never without a high cost. Aggressive and arrogant, the unseelie fey are dangerous customers, even when they aren't actively trying to kill you.
