Feyling

Wild, absolute, and forgotten, the feylings are spirits of the Feywild ensnared in the corporeal forms of wild animals, isolated in the last vestiges of the untamed wilderness of the Swordless Front. For millennia, the feylings born have been quite rare, but ages of Sincarnus's presence on Incarcia have weathered the plane's stability, causing primordial spirits to drift free from their elemental planes to ours. The nature of a feyling is determined by the type of elemental spirit that possessed its body, be it one of fire, air, water, or earth, with each variation guiding the feyling's intrinsic goals, values, and even appearance. Fire feylings choose to possess beasts that represent passion and ferocity such as tigers and wolves, while air feylings slip into the forms of rabbits and deer, driven by wonderlust, movement and agility. Water feylings choose ambushers and skulkers of aquatic forms, such as crocodiles, sharks, and eels, valuing knowledge, cunning and subtlety, while earth feylings adopt the forms of defensive creatures such as turtles, bears, and rams, becoming guardians and wise sages in their followings.
