Cait Sidhe

Cait Sidhe are Fey creatures resembling cats, who make their living in the highlands. They are as clever as mortal men, and are known to steal the souls of the departed, not allowing them their rest in Wol's deep halls.

Appearance
Cait Sidhe appear as cat-like creatures, recognizable by their softly glowing eyes and white spot on the front of their fur. Regular cats are sometimes confused for Cait Sidhe, and might be drowned young to avoid having to deal with a malevolent fey.

Behavior
Cait Sidhe live in fairy mounds, and generally keep to themselves. Although not openly hostile unless threatened, a Cait Sidhe will steal the soul of any corpse it walks across, and cannot be harmed by conventional means. As such, it must be distracted with song, dance, riddles and games, until the corpse has been buried or burnt. The Cait Sidhe will then return to its home.
