Fire Fae

Each element of Fae is sub-divided into categories based on civilisational qualities, functions, abilities, etc. The Fire Fae are as follows:

Faeries
Faeries are similar to Elves in appearance, with often pointed ears and humanoid appearance. However, their wings and their size are what make Fairies immediately recognisable. Most Faeries are smaller than the average human, taking the height (and often the appearance) of a child. Other fairies can be no bigger than the palm of a child's hand. They are mischievous and fun-loving, and tend to stay separate from Elven politics; residing instead in their own Courts. Faeries can be categorised by element.

Fire Faeries

 * Ember Faeries
 * Fire Sprites
 * Salamanders

Nymphs
Nymphs, often just called Elemental Fae, are a type of Fae in charge of larger bodies or categories of nature. They are guardians of nature and far less civilisational than Elves or Faeries. They steer clear of Fae politics and keep to their own, often engaging in friendly rivalry with each other. Though many have taboos and unspoken rules (especially in interacting with humans), they have no laws to speak of, and therefore can be deemed savage and dangerous by more organised Fae. Nymphs can often change their physical forms at will, and often do not appear human or humanoid; instead taking a likeness of whatever they rule.

 * Lampades

Spirits
Spirits are the least corporeal and most independant of the Fae. Though not considered Fae by many, Fae Spirits are the most common type and, as such, Spirits have been classified with Fae as a whole. They are highly individual creatures, solitary for the most part, and generally act purely on instinct (though some level of sentience has been witnessed).
