The Feywild

X Worldbuilders:

GM James R

The Feywild is a place where time operates differently, being much more linear or fast, giving inhabitants potentially hundreds of years of experience compared to their physical age​. Life expectancy in the Feywild can be longer due to feywild magic slowing down the aging process. This effect doesn't persist once an inhabitant leaves the Feywild and resides in the material plane​. While much of the Feywild consists of vast natural landscapes, smaller demiplane like regions called Domains of Delight can also be found within the Feywild, regions with their own unique rules and inhabitants.

About

Rocks from the Feywild would exhibit native magical properties, and these properties would lead to Quelmar natives to label Feywild rock as Wovenstone.

The Feywild is a plane of existence that is home to the Fey, Fairies, and many other creatures of a natural bent. This realm is a beautiful place, full of magic and often natural rules much different than found on the Prime material plane. The Feywild is a place that intersects with many other planes, and is the source of Fey creatures throughout the multiverse. Most planes have active connections to the Feywild, or at least one time did. The Feywild in terms of Quelmar is a very close connection causing the Eladrin along with other races to become increasingly involved with the future history of this realm.

The Feywild has been known to respond to unfettered emotion. Flowers tremble under arguments, malic filled people singe the grass under their feet. The trees, rocks, and grass are all likely to respond in some form to strong emotions, positive or negative.

Magic has also been known to manifest differently. Where once was fire there may be gingerbread, a wall of thorns might become a wall of pixies, all manner of whimsical substitutions can happen at any moment.

Generally speaking, Permission is a huge thing across the Feywild.

Courts of the Feywild

In the early days of the Feywild, two main factions emerged, the Wildlings, and the Fey Courts. The Wildlings wished to keep the Feywild untamed and chaotic, while the courts saw the potential of coming together with their fellow fey to create something greater. New courts would grow up all across the Feywild, each holding dominion over a facet of the realm. Many were inside Domains of Delights, while some others even found their way into the material plane.

The Moon Court

A fey court dedicated to worshiping and revering The Moon. The court has been ruled by three seperate Archfey, each having deposed the previous. The first was Madame Cosmystia Lunari, the second was Lady Celenica Luanach, and the third was Luster, Madame Lunari's daughter who was assisted by Lady Luanach's daughter, Amaris Luanach.

The Court of Hallow's Eve

This holiday court ruled by the jovial and terrifying Pumpkin King maintains and perpetuates the holiday of Hallow's Eve.

The Court of Festivals and Games

Notable Domains of Delight

Areas of the Feywild are grouped together in what are known as "Domains of Delight"

Porphario's Garden (See The Green Man)

• Maintained by a demi-being known as The Green Man, a gardener who kept watch over all of the exotic species of plants and animals, many of them extinct in the Material plane. Like his many pets, he was happy to live in harmony with those not attempting to hurt the garden. He is always aware of any violence committed within his garden, and will breathe his assailants into topiaries.
• Home to many extinct Quelmar species including Lunicorns and Old World Dryads.
• Home of the "Fountain All Heal" which is said to cure all poison, save lost EXP, restore memories, dispel confusion, charm, and any hypnosis. It does not restore lost limbs. However, the water is said to be so delicious those who drink it are cursed to want to forever stay within Porphario's garden and preserve themselves like the rest of the Green Man's pets.
• Was the former home of Edgar who was discovered by Doraleous during his trip to Porphario's garden, where he adopted the otter after its mother abandoned it.
