[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 2967455, member: 20323"] I'm working up faeries for several non-European cultures in my campaign world, and before I do a lot of research I wanted to check with the wonderful folks at ENWorld to make sure I'm not re-inventing the wheel. Do you have any experiences with non-European fey? Also, I'm trying to avoid making deities into fey, though in many of these cultures, particularly the Egyptian culture, it is a fine line.
