Elves (and their various relations) can serve a Prime Material community as a natural bridge to the Feywild, both attracting otherplanar threats and having wisdom on how to deal with them. At least that's one way of looking at how a contingent of elves (or Eladrin, or even half-elves) living in an "elven quarter" might change a town.
Is there an ancestry (in any edition) that might naturally fall into a similar role when it comes to the Shadowfell? Vampires would seem a logical choice, as would Shadar-Kai, but neither is easily made part of a community (Welcome to Vampire town! Those of you with rare bloodtypes may want to apply this tincture of garlic before entering).
Help pls?
