Faeries are often portrayed in Western children’s stories as tiny, winged,
and good hearted. However, this description varies widely from worldwide folk
traditions in which beliefs concerning hidden races sharing the earth with us
have resided for most of human history.
Within different regions different descriptions of faeries grew, all were
more or less human in form although sometimes taller or shorter, but never
bearing wings.
Much of their behaviour was much like humans as well; they had
governments, societies, marriages, children, and war. They were often mortal and
therefore, could be killed. However, unlike humanity, they had supernatural
powers, which made them, at best, unpredictable and at worst, dangerous. Few people
sought out the company of faeries and most went out of the way to avoid it.
