The '''Fairies''' are a small race of winged humanoids that occupy [[Zanaris]], along with the [[Mindslayers]] and [[Otherworldly beings]]. Although they resemble small [[human]]s, they are not too dissimilar from bugs, with their quick beating wings, antennae and wide eyes. The Fairies rarely travel to the plane of [[Gielinor]], but they do maintain a significant amount of influence on the plane's weather and magic. They instead prefer to remain in their kingdom of [[Zanaris]], being co-ordinated jobs by the [[Co-ordinator]]. They have, however, established connection to many other realms besides Gielinor; such as the [[Cosmic Plane]], the [[Abyss]], the [[Gorak Plane]] and the [[Ork]] Realm. They have lived in Zanaris for a long time, since before the [[God Wars]], but they are not native to the plane.

Instead, the Faries found Zanaris a long time ago. It has since been described as 'the nexus of all planes' by the [[Co-ordinator]] and [[Fairy Godfather]]. Zanaris is an extremely old place, and was here long before the fairies came to live there with many dormant magical properties, such as those of the ability to jump between planes using a powerful [[World Gate|portal]] that had been sealed for centuries, but the [[Fairy Queen]] harnessed the magic and used it to create the network of [[fairy rings]], though not as powerful as the Portal would have been.

Fairies are responsible for most of the (non-[[runes|rune]]) magic. They are also responsible for keeping the seasons, creation, and even the balance of the worlds intact. That is not to say that all fairies are good however, as some, such as the [[Fairy Godfather]], have been known to conspire with [[ork]]s.

Fairies appear to live in the air and fly around frequently. They rely heavily on magic and delight in mischief. Fairies are mysterious to outsiders, who know little of their culture and history. Indeed, many of the other mortal races would happily deny the existence of this tiny race, as most believe fairies are imaginary creatures. They seem to have some relation to the [[Pixie|Pixie race]]. The Fairies also seem to be a female-dominated race.

==Trivia==
[[File:Fairy stamp.gif|thumb|right|A stamp featuring a fairy from a postbag.]]
[[File:Fairy old detail.png|thumb|The Fairy shopkeeper was initially not graphically updated.]]
[[File:Flying fairy old.gif|left|frame|The old flying animation for a fairy.]]
*During the Quest "A Fairy Tale Part II" players will encounter a fairy who has lost one of her arms, of which the examine info is "It's just a flesh wound." This refers to the black knight's famous quote in [[wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]]'s Holy Grail.
*Fairies seem to been similar to [[Pixie]]s, and it has been hinted in the past that the two species may be connected.
*While Zanaris and its inhabitants were graphically updated on [[13 May]] [[2010]], five NPCs were still sporting their old graphics: the [[Fairy shopkeeper]], [[Jukat]], [[Lunderwin]], [[Irksol]], and the fairy who guards the Al Kharid fairy ring. These five were later graphically updated on [[27 May]] [[2010]].
*It's currently unknown if Fairies worship a god(dess) or not, but at the banner of the Gielinor Games a fairy carries a banner with the [[Tears of Guthix (activity)|symbol of Guthix]] on it. Hinting that if they would worship any god(dess) at all, it might be [[Guthix]].
