[ShorelisNailo]

i'm currently playing a fey'ri bard/shadow bard ,not in a FR campaign...but still a big problem is tha t i can't find any resources for this race!!!Even tieflings have more options or history...
If anyone can help please post anything ...(exept perhaps for "silver marches" and "RoF")...Looking for history or anything special....
Also with my dm have made racial levels...very good staff (if anyone is intrested )

I think fey'ri first appeared in the 2e product Hellgate Keep. Even there they were fairly sketchy, if my memory is correct.

I found quite a bit of information, and didn't find it lacking at all. I DM'd a fey'ri campaign for a few levels.

You already seem to know that the Silver Marches gives you details on Elven Port, even a picture of its leader (fey'ri Ftr2/Wiz9) "welcoming" visitors, and claims the daemonfey are located in the ruins of Lothen of the Silver Spires; it refers also to Lords of Darkness.
Personally, I think that's quite enough.

Lords of Darkness has a few more details to add - such as that there are 32 fey'ri amongst the daemonfey, that their leader is Sarya (sun elf half-fiend So17), and rules along hew newphew Xalth (barbarian), and that she killed her son Ryvvik. It also has a picture of Sarya (not a good one), and an example daemonfey bolthole. All in all - about 4 pages worth of material, but much of it repepeitve.
I don't own Races of Faerun, and can't remember what it says, but it seems you have it. I do remember it having another, more balanced, version of the race as characters.

If you want, you can look at my campaign web site; the first chapter of the log might give you some ideas on my view of their society. I was going to write more sizable treaties on their role in Hellgate Keep, and other tidbits - but I didn't get around to it and the campaign ended.
The real historical details, IIRCS, were presented in Hellgate Keep - which you can get cheaply through RPGNow. Though you'd have to sift through a lot to get them, and as I recall I wasn't overly impressed with my findings.

I hope that helps,
Yair

Look up any 2e information on House Dlardrageth, I'm sure there is some out there (though I am not a 2e FR expert in any way, shape, or form). That's where the fey'ri origin was, as they're effectively just a more or less specialized breed of elven tiefling of a specific bloodline descended down from the Dlardrageth sun elf half-fiends (which properly are the daemonfey, rather than fey'ri, though both terms get switched around alot).

Most current info was in Silver Marches and Lords of Darkness, as far as game supplements go. However look up the recent novel, 'Forsaken House: The Last Mythal, book 1' by Richard Baker since it revolves around a resurgence of house Dlardrageth and some lesser houses of fey'ri counted as vassel houses. It is a seriously good book and one in a recent line of very good novels that Rich has written.

Yeah a good listing of sources there. For the record, the earlier entry of 32 daemonfey is now woefully inaccurate. In 1374DR Sarya Dlardrageth uses the Gatekeepers Crystal (yes the same artifact that demolished Hellgate Keep and freed her), to blast open the wards on the Nameless Dungeon and frees thousands of fey'ri from their stasis prison within the structure. This is covered in Forsaken House, which is the first in a trilogy covering the Daemonfey and the efforts of Evermeet & Evereska's elves to battle their threat. Very well written, I highly reccomend picking it up.

A little note...

Just for the story,i'm aware that fey'ri come from FR ,but my character is not in FR!We're playing a very free campaign in our DM's world,a strange mix of many worlds(with much suspisions that we play planescape ??? )....
I would like to see fey'ri as a planar race,not just a variation of tieflings with little elf spice ...and they have really big potentials for serious ROLE PLAYING ...as the have demonic blood ...i find them really intriging for these reasons...(and as for balance a +3 is really huge considering other races...at least in a world that has considerable power and magic...)
As for the novel...i'm really conviced to buy it ....(4th seperate series that i'll that i'll read in the same time ))) )
...thanx again ...

-Hey...don't be a chicken...it's just a skeleton ....
-Yeah?Why it's flying....????????
-Don't know....let just kill him ....how hard can it be?
