Seelie/ Unseelie Template

Here are the templates and subtypes of the Seelie and Unseelie fey. The difference that I want you guys to realize is that, fey created with the templates are not truly Seelie/Unselie fey. They just gain these powers upon settling in the world of Faerie. The subtypes represent the true Seelie/Unseelie fey that were born on the Plane of Faerie.

Seelie and Unseelie subtypes

Seelie subtype

Seelie fey are the archenemies of the unseelie fey. They make their homes on the plane of Faerie, but most specifically the Seelie Court. They are sometimes considered to be cruel, based upon the facts of them kidnapping humans to enjoy their feasts. Seelie fey often get offended when their “guests” want to leave. All in all, the seelie fey mean no harm and are actually good creatures who strive to destroy evil –first in the Unseelie Court and then the entire cosmos. Seelie fey have a celestial look to them and are often glowing with bright lights and they appear kind and gentle. They can however, become fierce when faced with the threat of evil invading their homeland.
