They avoid the entertainment and decorations other fairies use, and many of them also do not eat other fairies' meat, so they instead feed on a freely-given dew that regulates their emotions. Like the Gnomes they use more technologically-advanced weapons to kill all other fairies, whom they regard as cannibalistic abominations to be slaughtered. These were introduced in the
