Are fey immortal? I know if they die in the First World they often reform or reincarnate, but how about in general? Do they age, and do they die of old age eventually? If they do, how long are their natural lifespans?
This is especially important to know, and also especially difficult to simply infer, for Gathlain PCs. Supposedly, they develop from their seed as adolescent fey... and that's all anything tells us, as far as I can find. There's no age track table nor any mention of which track they use in any of the books that they're in. How would one determine starting age or when to apply age categories?
The only other thing I can find in regards to the ages/aging of fey is this sentence from the fluff text of the Fey Creature template:
They live long lives, barring death by misadventure, and rarely show outward signs of age.
That, however, is from a template that can be added to a creature, so it may only be referring comparatively to the base creature. It's also not particularly helpful either way.
most fey are immortal they will not die from old age or after a set time.
This is seen because most fey are Nature spirits like Nymphs or pixie whom are known for being immortal. so more times than not yes if you are fey you are immortal. If you are half fey you have an exceedingly long life rivaling Elves.
If though your GM has issue with you playing an immortal being I would say a good safe bet is to just use the elven tables for age oldness and death as most campaigns will not outlive an elf's lifespan.
