    Singular with they/them pronouns, consistent with the rest of the fae.

    You may be correct, but to me that their still reads as an indicator as a group label. As even though it adds in personal as another descriptor the treasure vault doesn't belong just to a singular fuath. Now if it had said Aenc Thon, who had repurposed the dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah as their personal treasure vault then it would be a show of they/them pronouns. Similar as to how in the Tales from the Shadows story Small Mercies anything referring to Beq Lugg is they/them. I'd have to go over other the other Nu Mou and Beq Lugg instances to see if they stayed consistent. Either way it probably is an error in the spell's description.

    There are plenty of in-game examples of Beq Lugg and the other Nu Mou consistently being referred to as "they".

    For some quick examples, the early quests where you first visit Pla Enni they direct you to speak to the various Nu Mou for patronage.

    Wyd Aenc in A Fitting Payment:
    Let's see... Perhaps you can begin with Marn Ose. They are one of our foremost artisans, once held in the highest esteem by the knights of Voeburt.
    With the knights gone, however, Marn Ose has had no opportunity to put their skills to use. They would be overjoyed for your patronage.
    Ys Gyuf in Spore Sweeper:
    Now, will you be offering your patronage to anyone else? If so, would you consider Wyd Lad?
    They've been under the weather of late, and the chance to perform an honorable task would cheer them up.

    It's difficult to find individual references to the Fuath since they so often act as a group, but I don't recall anything that suggests that they are gendered unlike the other fae.

    Ok good. So it does seem as this is the only time the devs used the wrong pronoun. It is as you say most of the time the Fuath are mentioned they are mentioned as a group. I'm not sure of any individual Fuath outside of Aenc Thon. It is a shame that they oopsed this time as they tend to be careful when it comes to pronouns.
