Races:Faeries
_____________________________________________________________
Supernatural being found in mythology and folklore around the world. Fairies are often represented as tiny, winged sprites, sometimes good, sometimes evil, who possess a mysterious power over human destinies. They also often appear in full-sized human shape.
Fairies are soulless beings, but by marriage with a human they can gain immortality. If they leave their own country to marry and live with humans they are usually bound by some condition, which, if ignored, brings disaster. According to another superstition, fairies have to pay a yearly tribute to the powers of hell, and for this purpose they are always trying to steal children, leaving changelings in their place. Adults, too, have sometimes been lured into fairyland, and are rarely able to return. A human is doomed if he or she eats fairy food.
Fairies have traditionally been divided into good and bad. For example, in the European fairy tale ‘The Sleeping Beauty’, there are six fairies, five of whom give good gifts, but the sixth curses the child. They are extremely rare and magical beings, which means that very, very few will ever see one with their own eyes.

Ok, I made a connection, The part where it says: Quote: A human is doomed if he or she eats fairy food. It reminds me of the Greek myth with Hades imprisoning Persephone in the underworld by making her eat underworld food.

Faeries also included a broad range of creatures, from brownies, elves and pixies in the Seelie Court, to kelpies, goblins, and orges in the Unseelie Court. Modern faerie tales that can help one to better understand Faerieland include Tithe, Wings, and Changeling.
