In the Vastwoods world, what was the difference between pixies, fairies, Dryads and so on? Were they basically the ranks of the fey realm?

In the Vastwoods world, what was the difference between pixies, fairies, Dryads and so on? Were they basically the ranks of the fey realm?

This was discussed in one of the lore books, so let me quote that.

To understand the broad differences between each member of the Fair Folk, you must comprehend the following fact. Each Fair Folk is, beneath everything else, one of several known types. The complications come in that each type has unfathomable variety. This is because every Fair Folk, regardless of what type they are, takes on secondary aspects. These aspects are shared between the Fair Folk and manifest differently between each one. These aspects are known as mantles in Sylvan and will be referred to such from hereon.

These are the base creatures from the SRD or other sources.They're altered by the mantle system to be their own thing. Every pixie you met is a SRD standard pixie beneath the changes their mantles made to them.

Okay, so if in SRD a Dryad is stronger than a pixie, it may still be stronger in the Vastwoods naturally, but if the Dryad gets a weaker mantle, the Pixie probably ends up being stronger?

Also, Knight Fairwind, I believe, was the only person we found who was ever titled in such a way. Were there other roles within the courts, or was he special because of what he was before?

Oh yeah, whatever happened to the guy with the roses for eyes? I forget if he stayed with the Circle or wandered off on his own. I hope he wasn't there when the Fellowship stopped in.

Yes, that could be. Also, sometimes there's creatures with advanced hit dice and other things that influence how powerful they are. Beyond nobility and royalty, which were mantle provided, most Sidhe didn't harp on rank too much. That's why, as it tends to be a bit blurry unless one of those two mantles is in play.

Also, Knight Fairwind, I believe, was the only person we found who was ever titled in such a way. Were there other roles within the courts, or was he special because of what he was before?

Yes. Courts vary on the Sidhe who run them. Roles vary from court to court.  He wasn't particularly special due to his previous life.

Oh yeah, whatever happened to the guy with the roses for eyes? I forget if he stayed with the Circle or wandered off on his own. I hope he wasn't there when the Fellowship stopped in.

He wasn't. Kral has an idea of where he is, but to be honest, he forgot about him with what happened.
