As both of us (and Jim Butler, Bastion's president, CEO, and chief cook and bottle washer) all have a deep and abiding love for the Realms, there's nothing in there that wouldn't work in terms of using Faerie as a source for ancient elves (or other more modern threats). It's a mix of old folklore and modern conceptions of Faerie and even stats up Old Man Winter, Father Time, and Father Christmas if you want such."

Thanks!

Is this game 4E? If it's 3E or earlier (pre-Spellplague) check out the Silver Marches sourcebook. In any case, the spirit of Silverymoon seems to have remained unchanged over the years (even in 4E).

I like the rules suggested in Faeries, too, although its rules seem more focused on the Sidhe-like fey paradigm.

If you're only going with the ecclectic fey available in 3E....

From my perspective, as much depends upon which parent's fey and from which type of fey she's descended. If her papa's fey, she may have grown up with her mother's non-fey folk and had a reasonably mainstream life. If her mother's fey, it's more complicated.

I ditch the fey wings in the FF template, mostly because it's tough to blend with gossamer wings. I'd try to use the "WotC site's rules for creating half-fiend templates specific to each fiend type" as my guide for templating half-fey specific to her fey origin.

Does she know what fey she wants as her fey parent?

She is using the half Fey teplate from the Fiend Folio (updated for 3.5E).

I would post a copy of the template on this thread, but I'm not sure if it's open content or proprietary.

If a mod or someone else knows that this template is open content I'd be happy to post the template or a link.

Considering Copy Right Laws state:
"The idea for a game is not protected by copyright. The same is true of the name or title given to the game and of the method or methods for playing it.

Copyright protects only the particular manner of an author’s expression in literary, artistic, or musical form. Copyright protection does not extend to any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in the development, merchandising, or playing of a game. Once a game has been made public, nothing in the copyright law prevents others from developing another game based on similar principles.

Some material prepared in connection with a game may be subject to copyright if it contains a sufficient amount of literary or pictorial expression. For example, the text matter describing the rules of the game, or the pictorial matter appearing on the gameboard or container, may be registrable."

As long as you are stating just the rules (what is changed on the character) via the template and cite the book and page number, I do not think that it would be agains the law or the 'Keep's CoC for you to list it here.

Winged fey!?

Do we still have sylphs in 3E? They looked winged and ethereal and attractive.

Sprites have wings but also potential size issues.

There are Glouras in the 3E FR Underdark sourcebook, but they'd put her into the underdark beneath the Silver Marches and have a moth-like appearance.

Some theorized that species of a fey doesn't always follow its lineage. Perhaps the children of fey do not always favor their fey parent's race and manifest feyness (e.g. sprite appearing wings) independent of their actual lineage (e.g. dryad)?

I don't know if he was Chosen by Mielikki, but I know he was heavily favored by her, and she set this up with Mystra (with Florin & Dove's permission, of course) to bring the Fey back to Shadowdale.

Won't they need to reproduce a lot more to reintroduce the species? It seems like a round about aproach.

Given the fundamentally chaotic nature of Fey, this is the approach I would take.
