Nymph

A nymph is a fey associated with still waters. Nymphs are generally regarded as nature spirits who animate nature, and usually appear as beautiful, young nubile maidens who love to dance and sing; enjoying their amorous freedom. They dwell in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, and also in trees and in valleys and cool grottoes.

Many have lost their lives in vain search of the beauty of the nymph, and many more to the madness and obsession their grace has upon minds and bodies unprepared for their companionship. Yet the nymph herself is not a cruel creature—a guardian of nature's purest places and most beautiful realms, she treats those who respect her and her abode with kindness, and may even favor someone who takes her fancy with magical gifts. Yet those who would seek to abuse or harm her or her home quickly find that behind her beauty is a fierce protector more than capable of defending her charge.

Though living for many years, Nymphs are nevertheless fated to die, even though some of them talk and carry on as if they were immortal.

They were worshiped in a nymphaeum, a monumental fountain which was raised in the vicinity of a well.


Nymphs are fey who take the form of beautiful humanoids with elven features and watch over natural areas of splendour and beauty, which are always more scenic and pristine than normal. They often become subjects of art, but artists who seek to earn a nymph's favour should ensure that she is satisfied with the result, lest she feel insulted and lash out with magic.[1]

Nymph queens
Nymph queens are powerful nymphs who watch over large, pristine areas of wilderness. Unlike regular nymphs, nymph queens are not dependent on their wards, and strengthen and vivify them when they are healthy, but cause them to become twisted when they are not physically or psychologically well. In addition to their regular appearance, which resembles a normal nymph of their kind, nymph queens can also take a more humanoid-looking form. A nymph queen can inspire an intelligent creature with a token of her favour, usually a lock of her hair.[2]


Naiad queens are powerful naiads, part of the nymph family of fey, who rule over places of outstanding natural beauty, centred on bodies of fresh water, called their ward.[1][2] Naiad queens are the nymph queens of the naiad family. As they are the species of nymph that most often interact with humanoids, naiad queens are loosely called nymphs by some scholars.[3]

Appearance
Naiad queens appear as beautiful young humanoid women with elf-like ears, large almond eyes, and skin and hair matching the colour of local humans. They stand slightly shorter than humans and weigh around 100 pounds. Most humanoids view them as the epitome of physical beauty, particularly humans, who consider them idealised versions of themselves. Their beauty can potentially blind intelligent creatures who look directly upon them, and a sideways glance is enough to stun them. Most naiad queens never wear clothes.[1][4]

Ecology
All naiad queens are female and must take male lovers to reproduce. They prefer humans and elves as lovers, and other fey to a lesser degree. When the time comes to do so, they form elaborate schemes to lure men into their wards, but most would-be suitors simply blindly stumble away, and only the most worthy get to mate with the naiad queen. The relationship is always passionate but never lasts long, as naiad queens are too fickle and wild for marriage.[4]

As soon as they can walk, a naiad queen's children are taught the ways of the wild and how to harness their charms. At the age of 50, naiad queens mature and leave their mothers to take wards for themselves, usually one located near their mother's home. They live for between 300 and 500 years on the Material Plane, or for millennia on the First World.[4]

Naiad queens eat whatever can be found in their wards, but abstain from meat or parts of plants that the plant could not survive without.[4]

Heroes who protect sites of natural beauty or perform a great service for a region's fey might receive a naiad queen's boon, which enhances their physical attractiveness in a way reflecting the naiad queen's appearance. A naiad queen's bane, which haunts the victim with her loveliness, is most often inflicted upon those who rudely disrespect her beauty, but she might also inadvertently subject her lovers to it in the throes of passion without realising, leading to the rumours that mating with a naiad queen is to invite insanity.[5]

Habitat
Naiad queens can be found everywhere natural beauty untouched by civilisation is found, usually near breaches between the Material Plane and the First World. Their wards are always places of incredible beauty hidden out of prying eyes, with many ways for the naiad queen to access the nearby land. Wards located near settlements are very rare and can only be seen in isolated forests or newly-settled areas. Naiad queens see their wards as temporary places of residence instead of permanent homes, and usually enhance the ward's beauty and defences with magic.[4]

By their nature, naiad queens are solitary creatures as they stand guard over isolated places. However, they are not asocial beings, and usually stay in contact with relatives whose wards are located nearby.[4]

Society
Naiad queens appreciate those who treat them fairly and with respect, but can be dangerous opponents of those who seek to defile their wards. Interlopers who accidentally stumble upon their wards are kindly ushered away; kind souls who seek their wards for peaceful reasons are treated with hospitality and offered help if necessary; and many exploitative trespassers have been blinded forever, if not slain outright, as punishment for their greed.[1][4]

Naiad queens are friendly with other good fey and can often be found in their company. They appreciate the lighthearted fauns, sometimes share their wards with dryads, and often allow sprites to protect their wards as well, unless they are rude to them or their visitors. Naiad queens do not tolerate evil fey and especially despise nuckelavees, often working with adventurers or other good fey to destroy them. Compared to other fey, naiad queens are generous with their tokens and often give them to kindly travellers, lovers, or patsies.[4]

Most other races respect naiad queens and do not go out of their way to disturb them. The exception are a few foolhardy souls, tempted by the vision of perfection, who often find themselves blindly stumbling out of the woods, the image of the naiad queen imprinted into their destroyed eyes.[4]

Many naiad queens become druids to express their close relationship with nature. These druids often assume authority over nearby naiad queens when necessary.[4]

Religion
Some naiad queens work as emissaries between the First World's non-evil Eldest. The Lantern King counts the largest number of naiad queen servants, followed by Ng and the Lost Prince. These naiad queens often take on qualities of their patron, and become oracles or sorcerers.[4]

Abilities
Naiad queens have druidic powers, and sometimes act as muses for other intelligent creatures by inspiring artistic achievement.[1]


Although their bodies are tiny and they have the figures of very young girls, their nature is succubus-like (‘inma) and they are extremely lustful. They will tempt men with lewd smiles, pleasure men with their entire bodies, and squeeze out their semen. Since they have a similar appearance to fairies, which are friendly towards humans, they sometimes pretend to be fairies to throw their victims off guard and lure them deep into the forest, only to suddenly attack, so one must take heed.

Normally, their bodies are tiny like fairies, but by obtaining mana and storing up demonic energy, they can use magic to freely alter the size of their own body as well as a man's. They may change themselves to the size of a little human girl and have sex with a man, or conversely, they may shrink a man who strikes their fancy and take him away to the “fairy kingdoms". The effect of this spell of theirs will only last a day at most, but they don't use this magic simply as a prank. When they use this spell on a man, they’re most definitely using it so they can violate the man directly afterward, so it's probably impossible to flee and wait for the effect to expire.

Originally, being monsters and not part of the fairy family, they weren’t denizens of the fairy kingdoms, but recently many pixies have moved into the kingdoms, teaching fairies that have yet to be monsterized about sex and pleasure to convert them into monsters and using their magic to alter the size of the bodies of other fairies (’yousei) and the men they brought with them to invigorate sex. We can say that they are the major cause of the monsterization of fairies and the conversion of fairy kingdoms into demon realms.


Aquatic monsters known as “daughters of the sea.” They're a kind of sea-loving succubus that inhabits the ocean. Women who drown in the ocean and have their bodies completely violated by the magical power of the sea god Poseidon are changed into nereids. Normally they are calm like the sea, and free-spirited, but when they have sex with a man they go wild like a stormy sea and indulge in the pleasure.

When human women are changed into “nereids” from having their whole body violated by Poseidon’s magical power, they are overcome with waves of strong pleasure and sexual impulses. Due to this, the restraint and repression they had as humans is completely swept away. They get a sense of freedom that they never experienced as humans, and become filled with happiness. Then their body and heart become that of a monster's, and they start thinking of life in the sea as the ultimate happiness. If a woman who was changed into a nereid had a man she loved on dry land, she will change herself into a human form, and go onto land to seek him out. Then, using her monster-transformed body, she will seduce the man, and sink him into the depths of pleasure, as if he were sinking to the bottom of the sea. After capturing the man in this way, the two of them will return to the sea.

Nereids who bring back men mostly keep having sex with their beloved husbands at the bottom of the sea. At the bottom of the gentle, quiet sea, the only existence they can sense is their beloved man. Undisturbed by anyone, they repeatedly have violent sex with the man like a storm. The days spent ascertaining one another's violent, yet gentle, love daily are the happiest days of their lives to both of them and the men who became their prisoners.

However, unmarried nereids who haven't gotten a man come up near the surface of the water, so they are very dangerous beings. Besides trying to drag men they like into the sea, they do the same to women in an attempt to change them into nereids in order to share the feelings of liberation and happiness that they have obtained.
