Description
The Sylvan Fey, or MeWes (short for Mystic Wood Elves), are one of the Fey races of Tyrra. History has always suggested that the Sylvan Fey are close relatives to the Elves. While there may be some relation, it has been proven that this race is of a more magical sort. It is assumed that the Sylvan Fey are a crossbreed race of Elves and Faeries. Many scholars dismiss that origin in favor of the theory that the two share a common ancestor; yet what ancient race could have birthed so many and varied children? The Sylvan Fey are craftsmen and lovers of art. These warrior-poets are often as skilled with an ink quill as with a rapier. Light of heart and fond of adventure, you will always find a Sylvan Fey searching for something new.

Make-Up and Costuming Requirements
A Sylvan Fey doesn‘t have any specific costuming requirements, but is required to wear horns. These may be of latex, sculpting clay, or carved from wood. Make sure that your horns are a minimum of 1.5 inches long and aren‘t sharp enough to cause injury. Consult a Race Marshall for tips on making your horns. Sylvan Fey are not required to wear pointed ears, but may elect to do so if they wish.
Inherent Advantages
Because of their Fey nature, this race has some command over mind controlling magics and effects. Sylvan Fey may purchase the Resist Charm/Charm Break skill. Because of their creative nature, they may purchase Craft skills for ½ Build cost (rounded up). Foresters from birth, Sylvan Fey start with the Woodland Lore skill, at no build cost, and are skilled archers, so Sylvan Fey deal +2 damage with bows (increasing base damage to 8 Normal).
Inherent Disadvantages
Due to their frail nature, Sylvan Fey suffer a -1 Starting Body Points and -5 to Maximum Body Points. Their small size* also limits the choice of combat arms. Two-Handed Sword or Two-Handed Blunt skills are unavailable to this race (Note: Sylvan Fey MAY purchase the Two-Handed Mastery skill, however, it is limited to use of Polearms and Staves). It is unknown why the Sylvan Fey despise charming magic or effects so much, but they will NEVER use any effect that removes free will from a being. Perhaps it has to do with the Unseeley…
*Purchasing at least +1 Strength Bonus, as a prerequisite, permits Sylvan Fey to purchase the Two-Handed Blunt and Two-Handed Sword or gain the use of those weapons with Two-Handed Mastery skill. All Strength bonus rules apply. No other source of strength augmentation is suitable for this benefit.
