If you look at the Darkmoon Vail setting book they depict a fey queen who is in rivelry for power with her sister. Nymphs and dryads are somthing as a royal cort, satyrs are forest patrol gaurds, pixies are scouts and so on.
I've gone on to see dryads as something of forest clerics, nymphs as camanders, and satyrs, when welling, to be men at arms. Pixies, sprigins, and such are sorts the common folk, and then some sort of ruling force. Druids are mortal followers or loyal subjects of the community.
Out siders, hunters, loggers, enterlopers apon sacrid ground. Whatever. Are in their eyes tresspassers, vandels and theives. Elves play a roll if wanted as joined gaurdians, fellow woodland dwellers, or possably a rivel or sepperate faction viaing for power that players may have to deal with or face.
