"The Gentry" are new, but they're intruders from elsewhere who don't obey natural law. The Gentry sounds like a term of endearment for faeries as people you don't want to piss off by insulting, kind of like "The Fair Folk" or "The Kindly Ones".

What other faeries has Grant Morrison used? The Sheeda (Sidhe) in Seven Soldiers, a comic with a very similar structure to this one. They're not the same, but they're analogous.

e: Wait, isn't the Sheeda mothership one of the shiftships on the map poster?

I'll let you draw any conclusions you might want.

They're probably a lot of things. I think it's pretty important to note that there's only one recognizably humanoid member of The Gentry. "Dame Merciless" is a scantily clad, corpse-like female figure who only wears the flimsiest funeral rags. If The Gentry are the things wrong with Comic Books, that's one of 'em pinned down.

We're currently on the third iteration of the DC Multiverse. The first was destroyed in COIE, the second ran from 52 to Flashpoint. Someday there will be no DC, no Multiverse.
