The Gnomes are the more civic minded faeriekith. They are the more earthly based of them. The guardians of sacred grounds,
locations, and monuments. Their greatest weakness is for gemstones and sparkly things
which they are in a constant state of unearthing and then redepositing somewhere else.
They made works of beauty out of the rock formations in remote areas. Some Gnomes have
also taken into just living in the forests under trees, and while others have taken even
to living with humans. (For more info click on this link)
They are a type of faeriekith that abide in the joys of living, are much less
likely to be pranksters to anyone but those who are mean to them. They adore music and
dancing. Oftentimes may even accidentally break precious china in the process; china makes
an excellent mirror surface for dancing next to. Pixies were often blamed for the odd
sounds that new houses make when the materials expanded and contracted in cold & warm
seasons, & were mostly blamed for causing doors to stick when the weather turned damp.(click here to see more)
Sprites are the more playful nature spirits, and are not likely
to inhabit anything but a tree, a special pond, or any other place that's serene and cool.
They are often found playing with nymphs, or tormenting butterflies (not that the
butterflies don't like it.) Sprites were charged with changing the colors of the leaves on
the trees come autumn, and they took their jobs seriously! Each one comes fully equipped
with bright orange & yellow paints and several paint brushes to make sure his/her job
is d one properly. Sprites are also some of the most creative of the faeriekith ... being
muses to artists and poets. Sometimes they even decide to bond themselves to a human or
elves and stay with them their entire lives; sometimes these Sprites even follow their
bonded into the Otherworld. (Note: There are also weather-Sprites who deal with the clouds
and rain, but that's normally done by particular rogue Faerie who like to cause havoc.

An elf is an airy spirit of nature, who loves carefree dancing
and playing stringed instruments. Elves live underground, or sometimes in or on top of
water (preferably a spring), or sometimes even in the air(or in the branches of high
trees). Now and then they take on an animal image. They are not malevolent by nature, but
sometimes the consequences of their teasing have been serious (for example, causing people
to become lost int he marshes) but it is not at all intentional. There are male, female,
and sexless elves. Most of them have wings.
Size: from 10 to 30 cm. Intelligence: sharply
focused, but high.
An almost extinct creature
of the male sex. Height 1 meter 20 cm, often smaller. Can still be found in the middle of
inhospitable forests and in the mountains. They dig for gold and silver in extensive
mines, and live in groups; they are masters of metalwork. They are good-natured except for
a solitary few, possible exiles, who are capable of performing ugly deeds. If a dwarf
should fall into human hands, he buys his freedom with gold. They do not have beards.
