The Fey do not evolve as the Humanoids do in the 2nd Age of the Genesys Project. Nor do they simply get additional traits and powers within their Spheres of Influence.

So what is happening with the Fey in the 2nd Age?


Lets delve a little into the backstory first. As the other Life Domains have moved forward into the 2nd Age they have continued to use energy from the Ethereal to grant powers, fuel their projects, and even invaded into the Ethereal Realms for profit and gain.

These incursions and siphoning of energy, while appearing harmless to those that dwell in the realms of mortals, has caused the Ethereal to bleed into reality and its borders to become frail and cracked. While this makes it easier for other races to access the ether in larger quantities, it has become a perilous assault on the outside realms. While the ethereal is bleeding out, the influence of new emotions and thought have bled in.

Paragons in all their might have refocused their spheres, merged them together to consolidate power and spread their influence. Meanwhile the Archlords have focused on their own devotions, creating subfactions with their realms from the new waves of thought and emotions.


What does this mean for the Fey?
While the Humanoids focus on Technology, knowledge and Modifications, The Fey take on their factions in a completely different way.

Creating Your Own Sphere of Influence
In the 2nd Age Paragons will have the opportunity to create new spheres of influence (if you choose to), combing multiple spheres into a single and more vast Sphere of their creation.  These are created from the traits they already know or pick up during campaign play. There are Harmonic Spheres, newly created spheres that stay within their chosen Path (light, darkness, or twilight), and then there are Spheres of Discord that combine multiple spheres outside of their primary path (even combing light and darkness!)

Devotions
Archlords and even Some Greater subclasses will be able to take Devotions. Devotions come from the Emotions and thoughts seeping into the Ether, and give the Greater Fey new abilities that they can pass down to create new classes from. Any classes created by the Archlords will be granted these new abilities.

Examples of a few Devotions: Anger, Rage, Hatred, Loathing. or even Despair, Pride, Serenity, and Trust. These new Devotions grant specific abilities, and allow for the Archlord to pass down the Devotion to its followers, taking on the lesser the traits of the Archlord.

So you may have your Archlord of Hate. From the Archlord you automatically create a new Class out of the traits your archlord has. In addition to those traits, the new class will gain the devotion Hatred. As you level up and campaign, you may "level up" your new classes or even create new ones and expand upon the Archlords power.


The Fey will be advanced to the 2nd Age soon......
