[NOTE: Granted, this descriptor is not very Numenera-like. In fact, I didn’t have this setting in mind at all when creating this descriptor. I aimed at a traditional fantasy setting. Of course, who says Pixies DON’T exist in Numenera? It could hail from another dimension where imaginations of peoples long gone still live on. Who knows? Besides, I don’t know any other website where Cypher System stuff is rendered so beautifully. So, here you go.]
