Fairies

Telrunya is home to many kinds of fairies, which are small, chopstick-sized humanoids that inhabited the island during the Third Age. They are not to be mistaken for Fae Pae. Fairies that bond with Pae, and grant powers to them are called Mellons.

Known types: Avalon Fairies - most abundant on the island; Aquatls - water fairies; Mountain - hearty, bearded fairies
