what are the proper verb conjugations for fae/faer pronouns? is it like: “fae was at the festival” or like: “fae were at the festival”?

Probably the singular “was”. “They” is only used with the plural versions “were” cause it also is a pronoun for multiple people and it would just sound weird otherwise
