Quickling

Quicklings were a small species of fey.

Description
Quicklings were humanoid fey of slender build.

Behavior
Quicklings hated humanoids of all kinds and wished nothing more than to kill them all. They were also known to be quite hyperactive. This caused them to typically have a short lifespan, rarely living past the age of fifteen.

Abilities
Quicklings spoke their own language, as well as those of the brownies, pixies, halflings, and elves; like all fey, they spoke Sylvan.

Quicklings were natural spellcasters, capable of casting ventriloquism, forget, levitate, shatter, dig, and fire charm at will.

Society
Quicklings sought out dark and evil places and lived in a clan structure with their extended families. They favored poisoned or corrupted natural dwellings such as twisted groves of trees; poisoned, cursed or diseased springs; or lands once ruled over by chaotic beings that had become overgrown. They avoided outside contact unless it helped them to promote their own evil desires. such as contacting evil outsiders or wizards to offer their services as trackers and assassins.

Relations
Quicklings were typically known to be servants of the Queen of Air and Darkness. But in the Feydark they were also known to serve as elite spies, assassins, and saboteurs for fomorian rulers. Often sent to infiltrate or perform reconnaissance on other societies in the Feywild.

Rumors & Legends
Their original race was unknown, though some speculated that they may have once been brownies.
