The Feywild

• Discovered ~15,000 years ago by the first fey elves
• Constantly growing, but not as quickly anymore
• Neither distance nor time correlate 1:1 with the Material Plane, and space curves in strange ways
• Fey Crossings connect the Material Plane with the Feywild, allowing travel between them
  • Distance and time behave most normally near Fey Crossings
  • At a Crossing, the Material Plane and the Feywild overlap perfectly, and one is in both at the same time
  • Fey Crossings appear, disappear, and move around
    • Only the Prime Crossing in Verdania stays in place
  • Fey creatures might traverse a Crossing and cause unrest or havoc in nearby towns
  • Unlucky people might traverse a Crossing by accident and get trapped in the Feywild when it disappears
• Most creatures speak Sylvan

Fey Courts

• Seelie Court rules most fey
  • Consists of fey elves and other fey nobility
  • Fey that acknowledge the Seelie Court are "seelie fey"
  • Speak High Sylvan
• Unseelie Court is a loosely bound collection of dissidents
  • Consists of all kinds of fey
  • Mostly evil

Spellcasting

• Material creatures can cast spells, but can't regain spell slots or other magic-based abilities
  • Magic items created by Material creatures do not recharge in the Feywild
  • Warlocks are an exception: they usually can't cast spells at all in the Feywild, and their connection to their patron is suppressed
    • This can be overcome if the warlock is given a focus by his or her patron, maintaining their connection and negating the Feywild's effects
  • <redacted>
• Fey spellcasters can't cast spells at all outside the Feywild, but most fey magic seems to work
  • Magic items created by fey creatures don't function while outside the Feywild

Pahi's Gifts
