Faeries of France
French folklore presents faeries as ancient beings closely tied to specific regions, landscapes, and histories. Areas such as Brittany, the forest of Brocéliande, and parts of Alsace are associated with lingering enchantment, where fae are said to inhabit stones, woods, vineyards, and mountain paths. These beings are not merely decorative spirits but guardians of memory and place, often connected to legends of lost time, hidden realms, and unseen boundaries between the human and supernatural worlds.
Common figures include korrigans, nocturnal tricksters who delight in mischief; lutins, household spirits known for pranks; Mélusine, a powerful serpent‑tailed faerie woman bound to fate and secrecy; and the Dames Blanches, ghostly white ladies linked to roads and ruins. Traditional warnings emphasize respect—mockery invites trouble, gifts create obligations, and sacred waters must be honored. Across these stories, faeries act as enforcers of balance, reminding humans that the land remembers, watches, and responds to how it is treated.

Faebruary '25 #3 - Marie the Teuz
"The hooves help with percussion!"
------------------------------
Faebruary: I am very excited to share this monthlong project with you all! Regular viewers of this channel will know that a lot of my creative focus goes into Kroashent, my ongoing fantasy series. There's a ton of background lore for the series, so I thought it might be fun and helpful to run a little project to introduce to viewers new and old, to the characters and creatures of Kroashent, with a twist!
For the month of February (or rather "Faebruary!" I will be posting drawings of the characters of Kroashent as different creatures from Alvez, their world. To begin, these creatures will be the "Tuath", the sapient, social creatures of the world (think the playable species of D&D). (We'll address the beasties and things that go bump in the night in a future project)
------------------------------
Marie deCygne: Marie is a trouvere, a traveling bard and storyteller. Using a unique magical ability, Marie excels at mimicry, adopting new skills to assist her friends. Marie holds a passion for rediscovering and spreading lost stories and songs.
Teuz: The Korrigan of the Meadows. The hooved Teuz are both the most numerous, and the most integrated of the Korrigan Tuath of Letha, living among Bediz (Human) neighbors and tending to small farms. Agrarian by nature, the Teuz are a pastoral people, preferring small, tight-knit communities full of hard work, song and stories.

Val's Notes: Marie is where I shifted away from the "Goblin/Imp" dynamic and opened it up to other Tuath of Alvez, expanding the scale. The Teuz are still rather short compared to humans though. Marie is inspired by the 12th century Poet "Marie de France", who transcribed many of the stories that inspired Kroashent. She's gone through quite a few revisions before landing at her current iteration, one I'm hoping to explore more in the novels. The Teuz are a nod to the frequent depictions of Breton Korrigan having hooves.

Faebruary '25 #2 - Kathalia the Kriores
"Yeah, laugh it up, pancake face. You forget, I'm the perfect height to take out your legs..."

Kathalia: Kathalia, bastard daughter of a remote barony on the Painted Channel, was kidnapped and spirited away from her homeland, joining with an order of Paladins, the Urzh Kroashent (Order of the Crossroad). When her order was betrayed, she retreated deep into the bleed. Emerging changed into something no longer quite human, she became a professional thief and highwaywoman, secretly working for her revenge against those who wronged her and coming to terms with her new reality.

Kriores: The Korrigan of the Moors. The goblinoid Kriores are among the most numerous of the Korrigan Tuath in Letha. There are actually two "tribes" of Kriores, the Gargantuans and the Jetins. Both are known for their strong cultural traditions and complicated social hierarchies, a far cry from the stereotype of the "chittering green horde." that their enemies have labeled them.
The Gargantuan Kriores are skilled architects, they use water to carve and shape the stones of their grand subterranean cities beneath the mountains. They are fond of riches and have a reputation as skilled minors.
The Jetins, on the other hand, have rejected this underground heritage, instead taking to the high seas. Despite their small stature, they are among the most prominent sailors and shipbuilders of the Korrigan, even perfecting a method of submarine travel.

Val's Notes: I've drawn Kathalia as a Kriores/Goblin before, and originally, this project was going to focus mostly on imps and goblins before spreading out to other Tuath as well. Mostly, goblin Kathalia is just fun to draw.

Faebruary '25 #1 - Morgiana the Gargoul
"Are you ready to be IMPressed?! The Great and Powerful Morgiana, Mistress of Illusion, makes her grand appearance!"

------------------------------
Morgiana: Morgiana is a mischief maker at heart, a playful trickster who relies on her cleverness to get her into and out of trouble. A former slave and dancing girl from far off Ubar, she fled a gang of vicious bandits to start a new life in Letha. Morgiana assists her friends in the "Forthaves Vinegar Company" with her powerful illusion magic and quick wits.

Gargoul: The Korrigan of the Mountains. The Gargoul are not originally from Letha, but rather the cold forests and mountains to the East. Adapted to living on windswept cliffsides, these small imps have adapted well to living in the castles and Cathedrals of the West. Naturally curious and often mechanically gifted, they love to tinker with complex machinery and carry out convoluted pranks.

Val's Notes: Morgiana really "clicks" as a gargoul, and its always a joy to draw her as one. Her impish energy really comes across without needing to force it. Initially, I wasn't planning on this being the series I did, but I really liked how she turned out, which started the whole process. Morgiana is inspired by a character of the same name from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, while the Gargoul are inspired by the gargoyles of gothic cathedrals and the gremlins of British aviation folklore.
