Fae, Elves and Dragons in the Setting - Updated

**Updated rumours are noted below

 There is a strict absence of these fantastical creatures from this setting and there are reasons for that. Read on...

Fae

There are no faeries, sprites, pixies, brownies, selkies, nymphs, dryads, leprechauns, kelpies or any of a myriad other Fae-folk found in the lands described in this setting. Those are spoken of only in children's bedtime stories and common lore would have it they were driven from the lands along with their "Unnatural magics" at the same moment the Elves were driven out. The Fae are spoken of mostly in joking terms or in slurs in Gwyniadd, far from living memory. 

Still, children will claim to have encountered "watching eyes" in the darkest hidden places, or to have had cheeky curses placed upon them by tiny unnatural winged denizens. Of course any hunt or search for these beings has come up short and children beaten for wasting adults' time. 

Afterall, all of the Fae were driven out with the elves centuries ago. Right?

Dragons

Like the Fae, Dragons are also absent from this setting. There hasn't been a dragon sighting in Gwyniadd alone for a 1000 years let alone word or tale of one beyond Gwyniadd's borders. Even the long long memories of the dwarves to not extend to such and the skalds have no knowledge of a Dragon's Trove, or nest discovered in the depths of the mountains. 

So what occurred to cause this? Where have the dragons gone? Where they forced to flee the lands by something even more fearsome and terrible? 

In current times, Dragon imagery are sometimes found in use by a few human clans in Gwyniadd, proudly claiming some link to an age long forgotten, and little believed by outsiders. 

**It is believed a Dragon of some sort was sighted and slain (By all accounts) in the coastal port town of Glassalyr. Where it came from and what it's intentions were are at this time, unknown. No children were reported eaten though and apparently it belched lightning upon the townsguard and many were slain.

Elves

It is said by the eldest Druids of Horchar that the Elves were present in Gwyniadd living in a large city of light and darkness, but were expelled somehow from the lands prior to the Goddess Meredha's awakening amongst the land. How why and where they were exiled are still unknown, the little information in the Cathedral library in the capitol Wingestrathe is said to contain some mention of them in texts written by a martial order of old named the Kolgodd Knights.

**An Elf sighting was reported in the coastal port of Glassalyr. On-lookers claim they came from the skies and many townsfolk were mesmerised by their unnatural magics or sacrificed in horrible rituals to summon otherworldly demons
