Pixies (called Whilloki by the Redguards) are a type of fay described as appearing as glimmering sparks with the personality of whimsical pranksters.

Sylphim refers to minor fairies, often found surrounding other more powerful faeries, such as Ghaetus or Sygria. They are often used to guide people towards destinations involving adventure. Sprites are fay creatures that appear as floating orbs of light. Nevertheless, Ahrtabazus modified his Fairie Chain theory, which has gained wider and wider acceptance since its publication. Due to its reliance on coincidental evidence and supporting auxiliary theories, the chain is considered by some to be wrong. Ahrtabazus was challenged on his assumptions by other scholars based on very slight coincidences. The chain is not necessarily an order of command, as faerie as a whole are neither followers nor leaders. He received much criticism for adding the footnote that elves as a whole may be part of the chain, above whilloki and below nephrine, due to their similar features and propensities for magicka that Faerie have.

In the middle were human and semi-human beings, generating up to intelligent trees, brooks, rocks, even mountains. It ranged from minor creatures like pixies at one end and the godlike beings such as Gheatus at the other. The Faerie Chain Īhrtabazus, a scholar studying at the Crystal Tower, developed a controversial theory about Faerie dubbed the 'Faerie Chain' by organizing the Fey variants on a hierarchical chain, published in 2E 456 in Firsthold. Fairy civilizations inhabited Valenwood prior to the arrival of the Aldmer. įairies are most commonly described as inhabiting the Summerset Isles, with some variants reported as inhabiting no other province besides it. Some exclamations among the Altmer and Bosmer are 'Faeries of the Grove' and 'Faerielight'. References to fairies commonly appear throughout many cultures, such as fantasy plays commonly involving fairies, the ability of the Mage birthsign named for the Fay, and expressions based off faerie behavior, notably the term 'fairy tale' for mythical stories. They are also said to pluck the eyes of sleeping children, rolling them around in moon sugar afterwards to eat them as a delicacy. They are known to steal pouches of gold, sugary sweets like moon sugar, and the foyson essence of food, stripping away its nutrients. Their behaviors have borne them the reputation of thieves, tricksters, and nuisances. Their plans and schemes are not governed by a higher purpose, simply by their own whim. Faerie, also called Fey, Fay, and Fairy/ Fairies are magical, mischievous, and unpredictable creatures that come in a variety of forms.
