The result of four noble houses of sun elves breeding with demons in an attempt to strengthen their bloodline, fey'ri are a type of planetouched that breeds true among their own kind. Marked by their fiendish blood, fey'ri are unique among most planetouched in that they have a self-sustaining community, so they are raised among their own kind. Because of this, young fey'ri do not suffer the feelings of ostracism that other planetouched do despite growing up among creatures with strong fiendish blood. Most fey'ri are evil, but a few are able to shrug off the fiendish taint's influence on their behavior and emulate some small part of the innate good nature of the elves.
Fey'ri are the descendants of sun elves and demons (usually succubi in male or female form). Having bred with these demons and among their own kind, fey'ri are a distinct race and share the same common fiendish traits. In general form they resemble sun elves, although all have large batlike wings. They all have one or more unusual features reflecting their fiendish heritage such as:

fiery red eyes
fine scales all over the skin
long pointed tails
batlike ears
deep red skin

Fey'ri are obviously different from normal elves and would quickly be killed by most over elves if discovered. Luckily for them, their demonic bloodline gives them several abilities, including the ability to change their shape. Thus they can pass freely among other creatures without causing an alarm.
There may be other fey'ri in Faerun other than those allied with House Dlardrageth, but since the likelihood of an elf breeding with a demon is very small, such and individual would be essentually unique outside these four elven houses. The rest of this section assumes Dlardrageth fey'ri are the subject matter.
Fey'ri have the same life expectancy and age categories as a sun elf.
