-Elves possess an unceasing curiosity for mortals and their peculiar, short, and unfettered lives. Occasionally one of the Fair Folk will copy some human custom to experience them firsthand, and this is the origin of Fairy Knights.

-In a woodland clearing or where a road passes close by the forest edge, a strange knight may emerge to challenge warriors to a joust or passage of sword or spear. On occasion they may even venture to a human settlement, even entering a castle to lay their contest down.

-The weird knight will display some unsettling characteristic; they may be unusually large or small, be of a strange hue (green, white, or jewel-tinted), they may be wrapped in ivy, or glimmer as if by moonlight. If their face can be seen, it may be astoundingly beautiful, bestial, or even seemingly fashioned from wood. Their horse, if they are mounted, will be of an unmatched and beautiful pedigree, adorned with an intricately embroidered silken caparison edged with silver bells.

-The challenge will be the same, however -- a passage of arms according to human traditions against a single warrior; the terms to be agreed beforehand. This can be a fight to the death or to surrender -- in the latter case the loser owing some obligation or service to the victor.
