Fairies are strange magical beings. In general, they don't take life very seriously, and always seem to be in a good mood. They are also invulnerable (except, apparently, to the Black Sword).
Fairies can be found on the isle of Ambrosia in Ultima VII. They are not seen either before or after this, but in Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle, they are referenced in "No Such Thing as Fairies," (see below), which was apparently written by the Bard, Gannt -- who was killed by Captain Stokes.
Lore[]
These flirtatious and mischievous tiny flying creatures are rarely hostile.
- from The Book of Fellowship (Ultima VII)
In our childhood years we learn that fairies glow,
and this is good as everyone knows.
But we partake the juice of the dark berries
though we know there are no such thing as fairies...
We cry, though we rarely let it show,
our tears fall like melting mountain snow.
But still the fairies float like smoke rings though the night.
stealing us blind with their mythical magical sight.
And with the fortune to seize priceless treasures,
and the subsequent Moonshadian pleasures
and as we grow older and bolder and drawn,
the fairies visit us less till, alas, they are gone.
But for our offspring the fairies will still glow,
and this is good as every child knows.
But we keep partaking in the juice of the dark berries
for we know that there are no such things as fairies...
- from No Such Thing as Fairies by Gannt (Ultima VII Part Two)
