d100 Things in a Common Faerie House




































Have been reading more than writing and not very daydreamy a while. But then this.

I have done posts on faerie stuff and a whole book and their are blogposts on villages of wee folk generators I've used before. My inhabitants of the cosmic tree stuff would all work with this and my upcoming faerie tale knight project Auldwood.

So in those tree and mushroom houses and tiny cottages of gnomes and pixies and sprites and small elves and goblins this is what they have about. Some is magical most is weird and some possibly useful.

01 Lost human stuff - possibly stolen or a sacrifice
02 Faerie food - possibly dangerous

06 Furniture of the fey - look out!  
07 Creature Comforts - nice things
