A minor fey, feylings are usually found deep in forests in areas near patches of wild berries. They act as guardians and shepherds, caring for the plants and encouraging their growth and dispersion.

Feylings usually avoid settlements and humanoids in general, preferring the company of plants, animals, and other fey. If they must interact with a settlement, it’s usually farmsteads or small villages, especially those where a great number of berry bushes or fruit trees can be found. There, feylings usually secretly care for the gardens or orchard at night, insuring the yearly harvest will be bountiful. Wise villagers leave gifts of food, milk, or goods near their garden or orchard in thanks for their nightly benefactor.

A typical feyling is just over 4 feet tall and weighs about 60 pounds. They can live over 200 years.
