Btw I did a bit of research, and in The Tale of Tinúviel (the only story in which Tevildo appears), there are only 2 "Fay"s, Tevildo and Gwendeling, who you may know better as Melian. Also, the only character more powerful than those two is Morgoth, so there was nothing between Fay/Dark Lord. Since Fay=Gwendeling=Melian=Maia, and Tolkien was so frenquently changing names etc at that time, it is completely possible (I'd say likely) that when writing this particular story, he meant that Tevildo and Gwendeling were Maia.
