RPGs and Tabletops d20 (D&D, Pathfinder, etc.): General Discussion, Help, and Fun

Welp, since the last thread is now on the... *quickly checks*... well, I guess it's not ON a page anymore (or is on the second, depending on what you're accounting is). Anyway, since the last general D&D thread has gone the way of the dodo - and I needed something, because I'm selfish that way -, I figured I'd open a new one! This one!

So to start us off, I'mma askin' fo' sum' help all up in he'ah!

So I've got this character with nearly godlike power over the nature of outsiders he can bind. He also likes fey. He happens to be building a kingdom.

He wants to bind lots of fiends (he finds them... distasteful), annihilate them with powers of GOOD, and use their left-over ashes* (this is not entirely accurate) to create new outsiders/fey. Basically, he's going to create axiomatic half-celestial fey (of various kinds) and axiomatic half-fey celestials (lantern archons, mostly) out of predominantly demons (and a few devils, as well as a fair number of daemons - in the end, the kind doesn't really matter). He's got all the power he needs to do this, I just don't have all the information.

Fun but semi-irrelevant detailsThese fey will be part of a greater "hive mind" - they don't actually share a mind, but rather share alignment, concepts, information, and ideas via what amounts to a great web-work of thoughts which they are all constantly reading and aware of. This web-work is not intrusive, meaning they it doesn't actually take up their attention. They are also aware of the alignment and current status of all other members.

Most (but certainly not all) of them will hopefully be bound into specific locales, such as dryads into trees; blodeuwedds into fertile plains (flowers, grass, and shrubs); miengu into pools and springs; and the like.

My problem is this: I've exhausted my knowledge of fey creatures. And fey creatures are not really compiled into a single, pleasant, easy-to-use reference guide either. Especially not those presented in Pathfinder.

Now to clarify, I've got most of the 3.X D&D stuff that'd have fey kinds in it. Books-wise, I'm missing Stormwrack and Incarnum, as well as anything published around the time of the Tome of Swords or the early 3.0 era, but I've got a rather large library of older books. I don't have (many) adventure paths/adventures/etc, however.

Mostly what I'm looking for isn't D&D stuff, however, but Paizo stuff, especially Pathfinder. The game is in Golarion (the Pathfinder world) and is specifically the Kingmaker Campaign, so, you know, if you guys've played it, please no spoilers. I've made ridiculously large knowledge checks, so general kinds of fey are great, regardless of their kinds, but notsomuch the specific (named) NPCs.

So, I need you guys to use your epic knowledge of nerdy places and people to gather information for me! I need you to reach out to your resources, your hidden caches of information, and your vast network of contacts to enlighten me on the nature of Golarion's fey! Or, you know, just shoot the breeze, telling funny or interesting stories or asking for help yourself; you know, your choice.

Help me nuklearforums, your my only hope*!

*I'm not actually asking for any information on Starwars.

Almost-immediate edit: I'm aware of the "Oread" from the D&D 3.X Fiend Folio - it is to mountains what dryads are to trees - as well as the Pathfinder Beastiary 2 "Oread" - basically Paizo's equivalent of an earth genasi. I'm also wondering if anyone knows if Paizo replaced the first Oread with some other creature/name, or just kind of left it alone.
Also: don't feel limited to environment-themed fey. I'm planning tons of grigs, sprites, nymphs, and the like too. Fun times.
