Ixie

An Ixie is a semi-magickal creature that resembles an anthropomorphic insect. They tend to be very small, and are therefore well suited for infiltration and espionage. A particular clan of ladybird-beetle Ixies, the Ominous Orse, feature prominently in the Ballad of Adler Young.

Ixies are not elves, therefore Thorwald's Edict does not apply to them. They have been known to lie.
