About

Everyone in the city knows the most useful messenger is this tiny fey. Windy hoppers usually deliver messages for nobles and royalty. However, anyone with enough gold can hire these flighty fey.

Air Mail. One of the reasons they are a popular choice to send messages is their flying ability. They can access many different areas in the city and avoid a lot of obstacles. Windy hoppers also have time to dance through the air with other windy hoppers on their routes.

Express Delivery. Their deliveries are quick and their success rate is quite high. Therefore, these fey have a good reputation with all the citizens of the city. However, some of the winged messengers have taken advantage of their position and sold information to nefarious individuals.

Big Appetite. Windy hoppers are known to have huge appetites. When they’re really hungry, they’ll even trade their services for food.
