The fae are actually the Grigori and spawn of Qayin who fled to Elphame to escape the wrath of God after the whole knowledge debacle on the mountain, warped and twisted in the mists.

I did some reading on their origins and I'm not really a fan of integrating Judeo-christian mythology into it. In my cobbled together setting there's also nothing resembling Cain or Yahweh.

I like the idea of them being "hidden" people more, I was thinking of making a lot of their technology stone and hide amongst the hills and trees and use magical trickery. Smaller and stature, masters of camouflage. I prefer them to be a patrons of individual locations like nymphs and the like.

Non-fae are novelties to them. As timeless beings, most humanoids live and die before the fae have even had a chance to ponder their existence. We are novelties to them like houseplants are to us, they live among us, but we care little if they die.

The best fairy folk tale I know is a Scottish ballad called "Tam Lin" so that could give you some cute ideas, but for RPG's, look up Changeling: The Dreaming and Changeling: The Lost by White Wolf for ideas.
