Daemonfey are a fiendish race of Planetouched descended from the interbreeding of demons and sun elves in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting. They are the elven equivalent to Tieflings. True daemonfey are the scions of House Dlardrageth. Their bloodlines include those of demon princes. The Fey'ri are those of the Siluvanedan Houses who allied with the Dlardrageths. They also possess demonic blood but not that of demon lords. The fey'ri are sometimes also referred to as daemonfey.
Description
The daemonfey look like elves with demonic features, or particularly fey fiends. They are capable of magically altering their features somewhat, but in their natural form they have skin with fine scales, fiery red eyes, demonic pointed tails, and a pair of bat-like wings, in addition to their sun elven beauty.
History
The daemonfey were originally created from the remnants of House Dlardrageth after they were mostly destroyed by the elves angered by the house's breeding with demons. Although most of the house was imprisoned in Arcorar, some fled and went into hiding in Siluvanede, corrupting other houses, but were discovered by elven mages after a few centuries, who sealed them in magical prisons in a perpetual state of near-slumber, where they remained until the destruction of Hellgate Keep in 1369 DR, which caused those imprisoned there to be freed. They then went on to free the remaining members of the organization.[1][2]
Intentions
The daemonfey intend to expand their numbers by breeding sun elves with demons in the High Forest. To achieve this they have begun to abduct sun elves from the Silver Marches in order to prepare them for breeding. The daemonfey are also interested in learning about modern Faerûn since they have been imprisoned for such a long time. Scouting parties are sent out across the Silver Marches, but they take great care not to be seen, for fear of alerting the elves of their presence.[3]
Enemies
Although the daemonfey had a hatred for the elven race in general, they were particularly loathing of the moon and wood elves of the Silver Marches because they despised the elves having formed any kind of confederation.[3]
Boltholes
The boltholes are underground structures located throughout the North. They have existed for a very long time but most are now forgotten by all except the oldest surviving elves. Even so, these elves will likely assume them to be abandoned, not knowing of the recent re-emergence of the daemonfey. There is a bolthole located around twenty miles east of the Stone Stand in the northern High Forest.[3]
