Faerie:
The Faerie are from the Celtic-mythos, nature spirits brought to life by the 
essence that they represent.  You'll find faerie almost e everywhere, the 
happiest ones happen to live in my sock-drawer, though.  There are many kinds of 
faeriekith as from the Celtic-mythology.  Some are good and some are slightly 
malignant when it comes to humans.  Stealing newborn babies & leading travelers 
off of cliffs and stuff, but we try not to do that too often; got us into BIG 
trouble before.
Pixies:
Ah, Pixies.  My sorts to play with.  They are a type of faekith 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.  (Not  that they were wrong to blame them...those doors get ANNOYING after 
the umpteenth time you've been smashed by one!!)
Sprites:
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 faekith ... being muses to artists and poets.  
Sometimes they even decide to bond themselves to a human or elven 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. *giggle*)
Gnomes:
The Gnomes are the more civic minded faekith.  They are the more earthly biased 
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 jus' living in the forests under trees, and while others have 
taken even to living with humans.  There have been few reports of the Elder 
Gnomes which are the Earth-Spirits that I orignally begot this paragraph with.
