While its mouth is closed, a fear smith’s face is featureless save for rows of deep wrinkles. Opening the large mouth in the center of its face reveals long needlelike teeth surrounding a single massive eye._ Known as a fiarsídhe among themselves, fear smiths are servants of the Court of the Shadow Fey and similar dark fey courts of such as those of Queen Mab and the Snow Queen. _**Icy-Cold Eyes.**_ Fear smiths often serve as torturers or are dispatched to demoralize the court’s enemies. Their stare stops enemies cold, making it easy for heavily-armed warriors to trap and finish a foe. _**Devour Fear.**_ As their nickname suggests, fear smiths feed off strong emotions, and their favorite meal is terror. The fey prefer prolonging the death of victims, and, when free to indulge, a fear smith stalks its victim for days before attacking, hinting at its presence to build dread. _**Hoods and Masks.**_ Fear smiths favor fine clothing and high fashion, donning hooded cloaks or masks when discretion is required. Eerily well-mannered and respectful, fear smiths enjoy feigning civility and playing the part of nobility, speaking genteelly but with a thick, unidentifiable accent from within a cowl.
