Cross-breeding with Mortals sometimes results in a viable Hybrid race. Almost without exception, Hybrid races are viewed skeptically. Commonly, the appearance of Hybrids is met with fear, hatred, and an outright desire for extermination. Hybrid races represent a closeness between species that invalidates much of what their progenitors value as unique. The Eylfāe in general, are not pleased with the idea that their blood can be mixed with that of Mortal races. In practice, some hybridization cannot occur naturally and requires magical assistance to happen. This fact places the Hybrid races much closer to that of the Created than many would prefer.
