"We are not human. Some of us may ape your form, your habits, but we are not like you and it would be a grave mistake to believe otherwise." Lan isn't sure how else to explain it. Most fae are elemental in the sense that they are focused on one specific thing and bound by arcane rules.

"A fae can change its nature, but it comes at a great cost. Long ago, and far away, I knew the Gallowglass, a great warrior of the north. He was bloodthirsty, beautiful in war, and cruel without compassion. He was battle madness and to change would've made him another fae entirely. He would no longer have been the Gallowglass."
