Wildlings have primitive Old Wood magic, which connects them to aspects in nature. Wildlings typically have animalistic features: horns, scales, hooves, and tails, yet are often as intelligent as siltenites. Wildlings that don’t reside in cities, usually live in underground dens, hollow logs, or wooded forests. Their ages vary based upon their subspecies, but siltenites live thousands of years.

Solis fae – the Solis fae reside on the icy, most northern continent of the fae lands planet. Solis fae have silvery white hair, crystalline blue eyes, and wings. They typically live for thousands of years.

Half-breed – half-breeds are Silten fae of siltenite and wildling descent. They are able to procreate at a faster rate than siltenites, and some half-breeds are magically powerful. Because of this, procreating among siltenites and wildlings is against the law. Half-breeds that do come into existence are shunned in the Silten culture.

Siltenite – Elowen’s species, considered the superior species among the Silten fae due to their appearance being most similar to the Nolus, Solis, and Lochen fae, and their ability to harbor and wield powerful magic.

Wildling fae – fae of the Silten continent who aren’t siltenites. Each wildling species has some animalistic trait or feature. Intelligence along with language abilities vary among the wildlings.
