Nowhere. There are only aging tables for races that got actual write-ups as PC races in books (i.e., MM entries don't count). So you can just make stuff up or ask your DM to make stuff up.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

Not actually written, but IIRC, each of the fey races are supposed to age at their own rates.
The mind transcends the body.
It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Well, at the least dryads are going to feel the grind of time.

They aren't fey they are plants the designers just didn't want a pc to have all of those immunities at first level.  ;)

I would say talk to the dm about how to handle it. If he chooses they don't die of aging use Kiloren or Elan aging tables. If he wants to set a limit then use and appropriate table for a race that is close enough. Elves for long lives, gnomes for slightly shorter, or some of the others like orcs and mongrelfolk for really short lives.

Clerics and Druids are like the 4 and 2 in 42. Together they are the answer to the ultimate question in D&D.
Retire the character before the DM smacks you with the Table as the book will feel totally inadequate now.-Hazren

Nope, they are Fey type and they only age through Old then never progress beyond that category.  From the book, "they never reach venerable age and can live indefinitely if they choose to do so."

according to a wide variety of sources (not limited to roleplaying stuff) most fey do not die of age. there are certain categories of fey that gave up life in their native (plane) space to live in the natural world, but gave up the unaging to do so. the rest are only seen where co-existant or co-terminous effects are supposedly existent. or if a mortal strays into their world. another set of sources ties fey intimately with the natural world and they are born and die with the passing of seasons, mists, even flowers or certain sets of conditions or events.

in cases where it is not specified, it is up to the dm.

not sure myself, but i'd start with checking books that detail the "fey" type, and then check races of the wild for the heck of it and end up in the section on fey from the wotc website.
