Owlchick: Fae have grown and change quite a bit since the Age of Turmoil (the setting for the original EverQuest). They inhabited both Lesser and Greater Faydark, keeping mostly to themselves in those days as they did not want to become involved in the politics of their neighbors. Over time, they began a cordial relationship with the Feir'Dal (wood elves) of Kelethin and eventually began to live much closer to that city. Through various periods of war, strife and cataclysm, there came to be more Fae and less of any other race in Kelethin, and so the Fae assumed a leadership role. With the influence of Growth so strong in Faydwer, the Fae began to grow and change, including the development of new and more colorful wing patterns. As for the royal house, Princess Joleena, originally from a faery village in Lesser Faydark, was the first Queen of the Fae. The royal line has been passed down through the generations through her female heirs. Queen Amree is the current Queen of the Fae.
Can you tell us about the wings? Their colors, abilities etc.?
Owlchick: As mentioned, the Fae wings have changed due to Growth's influence in Faydwer. It seems that each generation includes wings with a wider variety of shapes and colors. The simplest designs and colors are usually found on Fae who have some relation with the royal line. The Fae have a saying, "The brightest flower is picked first for the bouquet!" which might explain why the royal wings are plain, other than a faint coppery sheen.
Owlchick was also kind enough to share a great picture of her in Fae garb. Thank you Owlchick!
