Fenodyrees were once hairless warrior people. One harvest season, the massive moonlight festival was held, and one of them left to instead be with his mortal lover. His role in the festival went unfilled, and the Mother of Harvest was heartbroken. When he returned, she bid him to perform six tasks: mend all the boats in the harbor, cut all the grass in the meadow, transport all the stones from the quarry for her temple, herd all the sheep in the kingdom to their respective pens, mill all the grain into flour, and finally, draw all the water from the wells with a leaking sieve. He performed all but the last, which was impossible. He feared he would be trapped forever in the task, but his mortal lover came to him to help. The two used their hands and completed the task by morning, and so touched was the Mother of Harvest that she granted them reprieve from her anger. From then on, all fenodyrees lived to serve and help others, and as time went on, they became hairy folk. Only the eldest remember when they were sleek and warlike, and they do so with shame.

Fenodyrees never wear clothing. They work so fast, they sometimes make harmless but very strang mistakes, like herding a rabbit amongst sheep.

Driven and empowered by acts of kindness, fenodyrees live near other nations and help them out around their homes and farms. Whether mortal or other fey, they love to help out. They live in small clans led by a chiarn, who is the eldest among them, and a council of mooarey. The council advises the chiarn, and the chiarn decides the laws of the clan. They live in fields and herdlands near farming communities.

Children are raised by the whole clan, taught the different tasks and how to be kind from a very young age. Gender is not a consideration among them, though they conform to other nations' particulars without comment. Courtship among them is very important; love is highly valued. When a fenodyree thinks they are interested in another fenodyree, they must get consent to even ask them out. Formal courtships rituals include bringing gifts, sexual relations, meeting the families, sharing special meals, sharing family stories, working together, going on journeys together, and finally, marriage. Marriages are considered eternal (but not undissolvable), but this does not mean monogamy necessarily.

Fenodyrees celebrate the harvest time with Rehllys Vooar yn Ouyr, a massive festival underneath the moonlight. This massive festival brings together all clans in the area. Everyone in every attending clan has a role to play, and it must be filled or it will spoil the harvest. There is a great feast to which everyone contributes, a ritual performance that involves a a reenactment of the knight and his lover, offerings and solemn prayers, and finally, a massive moonlit dance.

They live in bowers made of the harvest of meadows, living among the fields and plains. These bowers are very portable, and they sometimes move with the herds or the weather.

Each clan chooses a community to serve, and the relationship with that community lasts many generations. Eventually, however, they do move on. When they do, they leave behind tokens of great esteem, unless they were offended or driven off.
