Fey

The fey of Avallore can be found all over the world, and as child-like, yet primal beings, they are often mistakenly considered unintelligent.
Most fey have very limited memory, but some develop more awareness and choose to become protector spirits for their region and the people who have settled there.

It is said that the fey are ruled by those who have gained both sentience AND power, but the truth of that has never been substantiated.
