ECL: +2
Reaction Level (if known): Level 2 (Tolerated)
Dalliances between mortals and fey are not unknown, and the half-blooded progeny of such unions bear some of the fey nature of their otherworldly parent. Sometimes called Changelings, half-fey often are by nature of two worlds, and in some situations are even forced to choose between their heritages; others linger in the twilight between Mortality and Faerie for years on end, never fully of either existence.

Less often [than other combinations] but noteworthy enough for poets to create epic sagas of romance and passion, gentle woodland nymphs fall in love with those who live in their woods, men or elves who treat the land and animals with the reverence and awe such things deserve. These relationships almost never last, as nymphs are fickle creatures and become bored with mundane mortals. However, on rare occasions, such liaisons lead to a child, always female, who mixes the best traits of the nymph with those of her lover. Many nymphs are so overjoyed by the beauty of their children that they raise them as their own daughters, teaching them the ways of the trees and wilderness, while others find the mixing of their fey blood with mortal baseness abhorrent, and they leave the child in care of the father and fade away, never to be seen again.

Dullahan – Headless riders, as some know them, are not typical fey. They aren’t charming or quirky in a fun way. They aren’t charismatic in the way that anyone wishes to know them. Most are glum sorts, members of the Unseelie Court, but not truly members of the welcomed fey. They are created around the natural edifice of death. This shows in their demeanor more often than not. They are often tasked as messengers or strongarms, those that deliver the worst sort of news. Rare is it that they are seen in the mortal realms. Often they’re harbingers of a mortal’s doom, heralding the death of one that has angered or upset one of their kind.
The headless riders are often seen riding upon dark steeds, holding their favored weapon of a humanoid spine crafted into a whip. They roam the lands of their lords, often lighting the way with candles kept inside of hollowed skulls. Some ride in carriages made of skin and bone, preferring everything macabre and close to the death which they find most comforting. Those they pass cower away, holding up one of the few things that can often drive a Dullahan back – Talismans and effigies of purest gold.
Half-fey born of a Dullahan (Which tend to be rare for obvious reasons) range from the fair skin of typical fey to a sallow, death-like pallor. Generally, they tend towards features that aren’t conventionally beautiful. Like most races, not all can be categorized into a single bunch. However, most half-dullahan tend to be morbid in their outlook and demeanor. They often glorify the natural side of death and everything it involves without reverence to corpses or the sanctity of a creature’s form.
Half-Dullahan retain some of the features of their forebears, such as being able to deliver a sense of doom and misfortune with a look, and the uncanny ability to remove their head. This gives them some magical ability to sense and see what may be hidden. More powerful half-dullahan have been known to tap into the strength of their bloodline to travel unhindered through the roughest terrain or magical barriers.
Their banes and lures are often opposing that of the typical fey. Many do not like gold, some do not like to be watched or stared at. They take their bets and dares seriously, especially enjoying those that have terribly high and often mortal stakes.
