Plane of Faerie

[kirinke]

Perhaps Djinni and Faerie are the same thing, just viewed differently by different cultures, so appear different to those peoples. If I'm making sense here.

Actually, fairies are one of the nigh-universal things in cultures globally. In Japan, you have the fox people and the tengu. Amongst the Hurons, you have the little turtle people. Algonkian cultures also tend to have fairies. They turn up in Lapp mythology, and, more memorably and recognizeably, European and Middle Eastern myths. The Djinn, though, I would argue are not nearly as closely analogous to fairies than the Peris are. Indeed, the modern fairy seems to be essentially a hybrid of the Celtic and Persian fairy myths seen through the lens of Germanic culture.

Hmm. You know the old bird maiden from D&D? I think she's actually a peri!

The bird maiden... Isn't that the SwanMay? Weren't they just normal female humans or elves with a special item that allowed them to turn into a swan?

I use Fey as inhabitants of the Plane of Faerie (Or simply Faerie Realm), though I give them ties to both the Plane of Dream and the Elemental Planes (nature spirits). Also in my game, Drow are unseelie fey who ride out on dark winters nights to harass and torment, they ain't spider worshippers.
