The Castle of Misplaced Things is a Domain within the Feywild, ruled by an Archfey known only as the Forgotten Prince.

## Description

The Castle of Misplaced Things is a place of utmost curiosity for most that have found themselves deep enough into niche fields of study to have heard of it. A plausible, albeit deeply magical explanation for disappearances of all manner of objects throughout the ages appeals to many, as it answers all manner of questions. Things mundane such as a second-hand pair of leg-wraps have been traced to the Castle of Misplaced Things, as well those more famous such as the apple-sized saltwater pearl mounted in the pommel of the Codornian blade *Reconciler.* Other disappearances, oft fantastical are attributed to the Castle too, although whether the Forgotten Prince is capable of making an entire ship and its crew vanish is another matter entirely. Nonetheless, a common expression within the Feywild when losing track of what one was about to say is to curse that *"the Prince has taken my thought"* suggesting that even concepts more abstract can be attributed to the Forgotten Prince and his denizens.

Found within a remote mountain valley, the Castle itself is a construction without doors, windows or any other obvious means of entry unless the Prince bids it so. If a true and permanent entry once existed, it too has been forgotten, and so the only means through which to reach the interior is through magic unless invited. It is speculated that the Forgotten Prince's domain exists somewhere between the Feywild and the Astral Sea, scattered between both Planes in equal measure. This idea is further bolstered by the discovery that the Forgotten Prince's supporters, predominately Kenku, are able to clamber freely in and out of Bags of Holding and other similar enchanted items, utilising them as passageways for their schemes before returning with what they had claimed back to the Castle.

## History

After the demise of Enor to the green dragon Malacholar, the Forgotten Prince laid claim to the Shiere Knight's soul when no-one was present to guide the soul beyond the Shrouded Veil, reincarnating them as a kenku, and granting them the role of the Bygone Butler. When an adventuring party arrived at the Castle of Misplaced Things to retrieve Enor, the Forgotten Prince wholeheartedly engaged with the role of the villain of the tale, manifesting an austere and sinister noble gaunt and menacing to serve as the antagonist of their story. After a pitch and violent battle, the thrilling finale - as narrated by a grand announcer presumed to be the *actual* Forgotten Prince - Enor shoved the 'Prince' from the roof, dispelling them into shadow as they were sundered on the cobbles below. The party reunited, suddenly finding themselves outside the castle once more, did their due and bowed for their role in the performance, for which the Prince granted each a parting gift, before the doors and gateways vanished, leaving the castle seemingly impenetrable once more.

### Narration - Enor's Reincarnation

*"With a mighty thrum upon the door, the heroes announce their presence with tenacity and boldness. Each surely has a different reason for being present, making the perilous journey through ash and smoke and flame, and yet present they are, all the same."*

*"And so our heroes, rejected by the Prince of the Castle, find themselves presented with the door - their quest seemingly at an end despite hours of lively debate. But perhaps, an opportunity to seize success still exists - though decide quickly they must, lest our villain catch wind of their schemes…"*

*"And now the weight of the revelation to our heroes is laid plain. The Butler, black of feather, graceful of movement, is the one that they have come seeking. The Shiere Knight lives - with a different face, and memories clouded, but lives nonetheless. But woe, their lingering presence within the castle walls has been noted by our antagonist, and so this tale hurtles towards peril once more!"*

*"And now, the Master of the Manor has seen his guests still linger, has seen their plots to take that which was taken. The barrier in the way of success, and indeed it is the most monstrous of mountains to traverse."*

*"Wielding a psyche-assailing scythe and bending the very shadows of the castle to his whim, the villain of our story has given chase, slashing and reaving body and mind alike. While our heroes have returned in kind, with words and weapons alike, they have found themselves outmatched, and so, with the flaming backdrop of the Mar emblazoned before them upon the balcony’s edge, the thrilling final confrontation seems to be upon us."*

*"Like shadow with the passage of light, our villain is no more, sundered by his own folly in a stunning and fraught finale. The curtain falls, applause ripples through the breeze and so our heroes leave with their prize - the friendship they found upon the way. All that remains is for our cast to take a bow!"*
