Magic thrives on the mean streets of the city, gliding between towering skyscrapers and hiding in the shadowed depths of the subway lines. Gungtavvy, Aelari, Glistrel -- faeries both benevolent and benign populate this imaginative catalogue of urban fantasy creatures.

Originally written for the 2025 Gothic Grimoire, hosted by Emma Grier, A Darker Shade of Fey is a system-neutral supplement featuring ten new varieties of faer-folk found only in metropolitan settings. Suitable for any modern campaign,  this 24-page full-color booklet details their habitats, appearances, and abilities, as well as listing offerings that might help you get on their good side.

Inspired by the work of Katharine Briggs, Andrew Lang, Brian Froud, and Alan Lee.
