Will-o'-the-wisps are a race of nocturnal fae found living in wetlands and reedbeds around Great Albion, living in small, tightly knit communities.

They are best known for their ethereal singing voice, they are incapable of regular speech and have instead opted for a language based in music instead, even their names are tunes. Very few humans have learned to sing their song, though many have tried. Will-o'-the-wisps often get along well with other Fae, especially Asrai who often share their habitats with them.

Will-o'-the-wisps' bodies are made from a strange material that, while feeling and functioning like flesh, looks similar to a bluish-green flame. This material will ignite loose scales that fall from their moth-like wings, surrounding them in a cloud of cold blue embers. When they emerge at night, their glow is bright enough to be seen for miles, this attracts moths and other insects that Will-o'-the-wisps will prey upon, lobbing precision fireballs at their prey, burning its wings and making it a much easier catch.
