description
Faerie borrowers are tiny thieves who steal whatever they can lay their hands on to cause confusion and consternation. A faerie borrower stands less than six inches tall, with blue or blue-gray skin and wings resembling shards of broken glass. Faerie borrowers often adorn themselves with purloined trophies: stolen keys and needles filed into swords, and buttons and scraps of paper fashioned into clothing. Though they are often boastful and love to mock their victims, faerie borrowers are quick to dart away from losing battles on their nimble wings.
"The throng of faeries flitted from castle to castle, leaving a trail of star-crossed love, damaging rumors, and missing heirlooms in their wake." — Tales of the Fae
Faeries: The faeries of Eldraine are winged, elfin creatures similar to sprites or pixies. Unpredictable, unreliable, and amoral, they lurk in the wilds and harass travelers they perceive as intruders.
Ouphes: Ouphes are curious creatures found throughout the wilds of Eldraine. While often seen as foolish, ouphes are magically connected to the natural world and know more about the secret lives of trees, mushrooms, and moss than most mortals. While ouphes are related to Eldraine's faeries, the faeries treat them like distant (and somewhat embarrassing) cousins. Ouphes can be represented with the stat blocks for pixies or sprites.
