The Land of this realm leaves nothing to chance. Nothing that is good will stay that way every root and branch twisted between the Flame and the Deep, feeding on light and dark. Creatures tied to nature come out just bout the same.
-- Talmot Delacroix, Last Survivor of the Mosswood Rangers
The connection of Fey to the natural world makes then specifically susceptible to the corruptive influences of UslaCairne. Both the Deep Dark, and the Cleansing Flame pull at the threads of magic and life within the realm. That constant back and forth twists the natural world and through association the Fey are distorted both physically and mentally as a result. Bright and Whimsical fairies and sprites turn carnivorous and cannibalistic raiding encampments like swarms of locusts striping meat to the bone in the manner of minutes. Brownies become malicious Boggarts under the sway of the Deep and then shift back to their beneficent selves when exposed to light. Enigmatic machinery made by the combined hive of Gnomes and Kobolds have rescued the crops of the Eastern Grain Lands while the other hives have dedicated themselves to some of the most heinous death machines ever devised.
Long Suffering Dryads with malformed limbs are held captive by their Live Oaks, used as feeding sources for the infernal sorcery of the awakened trees. Puca take on dire forms and rampage through the forest destroying everything in there path.
