Lesser Fae
Are all of the sub/alternate species of Arcadians. Each listed below has a court of their own to answer to each King or Queen having a title within either or both of the higher courts of the Sidhe. Many send Emmisaries in their stead in an unending dance of one up manship and political jockeying.
Brownie
These worker faeries are said to clean your house while you sleep. One of their racial powers includes levitating.
Demi-Fey
Small, often winged fey with doll-like bodies that give them an innocent look, ruled by Queen Niceven. It is said that where the demi-fey travel, faerie follows. The demi-fey seem to have many secrets, one of which is that a few are able to grow larger to become human-size. They are masters of glamour and often appear as birds, butterflies, or other winged insects. Demi-Arcadians are small,. The demi-Arcadians of the Seelie Court work harder at pretending to be innocent and true creatures of light, while the Unseelie demi-Arcadians are known for their love and destruction of flesh. They like the taste of Sidhe flesh and blood. All demi-Arcadians feed on flesh and magic, and the demi-Arcadians of the Unseelie Court also feed on fear. Most of the demi-Arcadians are winged, but not all. Some are considered cursed since they do not have wings. Their power lies in glamour, so powerful that they can overpower a Sidhe with it. A rare ability among them is the ability to grow to the size of a small human, complete with wings. This is only a rumor amongst the Sidhe, and no one has ever seen a demi-Arcadians do it.
Goblins
Goblins are considered the foot soldiers of the Unseelie Court since they do most of the fighting during war. Described as intimidating horrific creatures the Goblins consider moles and extra limbs and eyes marks of beauty. Goblin society is violent often taking blood and flesh during sex. It is not only a possibility it is expected among them. Kingship among the Goblins comes not through inheritance but by challenge. Kurag is the goblin king. For all of their apparent ugliness they are straight-forward and completely honest in their dealings. Anything can be negotiated and should be when dealing with the Goblins.
Hellhounds
Also known as the 'hounds of the great hunt'. It is believed that they foreshadow death or doom. Having nothing to do with the Christian concept of Hell, the Hounds are among the many creatures who disappeared from Faerie but have returned since Meredith's rise to power.
Jack-in-Irons
In folklore, it is a dangerous giant from Yorkshire that can often be found haunting lonely roads. Double tusked is highly prized and a curve on the end is considered a sign of virility. Uther is one of them.
The Nameless
It was the last attempt by both courts to keep the courts from dying. Every fey was required to put magic into the nameless and it was held somewhere within faerie to keep the magic from disappearing. It's a evil manifestation of the powers from all the sidhe combined into one form. It could only be physically seen if it had been hurt because it could move through time and space.
Night Hags
Female nightflyers of the slaugh.
Nightflyer
A winged creature under the command of Sholto. Few creatures in Faerie were stronger than Sidhe, nightflyers were one of them. Most of their body parts are able to regenerate and contain a nest if tentacles resting in their abdomen. The royals have a spine down the length of their penis which meant they were fertile males.
Phoukas
A type of fey that can change shape from a horse to a dog to a human or any mix of the above.
Red Caps
A subspecies of goblin, they are called either Powries or Dunters, they are extremely malevolent and murderous. Redcaps are very fast in spite of the heavy iron pikes they wield and the iron-shod boots they wear. Outrunning a redcap is supposedly impossible; the only way to escape one is to quote a passage from a holy scripture. If done correctly they lose a tooth, which they leave behind.
Selkie
Irish seal fairies. The can step in and out of their skin changing from human to seal form. Strangely they are the one Arcadian species that can become completely dependant to humans. If a human or any other being finds a Selkies seal skin and hides it the Selkie is fully withn that beings command. Not mind controlled zombies but bound to do everything in their power to please that being. No matter how odious the Selkie might personally think the tasks are.
Slaugh
A rude name for the lesser Unseelie fey. The Host was a polite phrase. Only the Unseelie could say 'slaugh' and not have it be a mortal insult. Nightmarish creatures, the Sluagh are feared even among the Unseelie where inhumanity is common. Among the Sluagh are the nightflyers and nighthags. Nightflyers make up the creatures of the hunt. The Sluagh are creatures that hunt Sidhe and can be called on by their King to do just that. They are ruled by Sholto, shadowspawn and a half sidhe, half nightflyer mix. Origin: A horde of evil spirits in Scotland, who fly in groups like birds. According to Irish legends, they are the souls of deceased sinners and they try to take other souls with them. They come flying from the west and therefore, when someone is dying, people keep the windows on the west-side closed. This way, the soul of the deceased can not be intercepted before it reaches heaven.
Starvin' Ones
They are the remnants of the first gods. If someone were to discover their name and give them followers, they could, theoretically, rise to "life" again. Human ghosts do not have such options. To raise them would mean automatic execution with no trial.
Will-o'-the-Wisps
The Seelie version of the demi-fey.
Gargoyles
Winged carrion eaters. There are three French species reported that are either bigger than a human or human sized. Gargoyles might attack a man, but it's a rare occurrence.
