After all, the fey were treated with large helpings of respect and fear by the medievals. Even the most kindly could become incredibly vengeful, carrying a grudge for years, just on the basis of a unknowing slight. And most weren't even THAT friendly; many types, mythologically, would kill for the fun of it. Also, Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes, Goblins, Hobbos, Kobolds, Orcs, and Trolls were all originally fey before Tolkien reimagined them. They've drifted away from that in popular culture, nowadays, but I wouldn't mind seeing some material that references the old myths either. That's pretty much all of the classic low level enemies, and dire animals occasionally featured in fey stories, so even those have some things that relate. Heck changelings are directly sourced from fey stories, so there is a LOT of material that could be adapted, which makes the glaring omission of powerful fey so surprising. Good dark fey are CREEPY.</blockquote>
