The Feywilds

**The Feywilds** are a mysterious and exceedingly dangerous plane of existence where logic and reason are merely suggestions, and the world is seemingly only a few minutes away from changing entirely.

## Background

The Feywilds are the source of all Fey and Fey creatures, where the concepts of direction are absolutely meaningless, and only madness, or failing that, the archfey, reign absolutely supreme. Magic on this plane changes on a whim, often either taking a whimsical effect similar to that of the intended effect just with an unintended twist, or sometimes the exact opposite effect, and as such, it cannot be relied upon as a normal method of defense or traversal. It is commonly accessed through Gates across several planes, though they are often very out of the way, and never in the same place in the Feywilds that they are on the Material plane.

The Feywilds as it appeared through the Gate in Fleur De Mort is that as an unchanging forest, though the forest's trees are far from normal, for they pulse with blood, and appears to be found in layers. The Unexpectables came to the Feywilds in an attempt to access the mysterious ETHEAL, the Godpool, where they met Esmé.

## Notable Locations

* **The First Layer:** A layer that seemed to have clear and noted end points that looped back onto themselves. The ground here is in fact a layer of lice, still living and crawling. It is only left via digging down through the nits and bugs to get to the plane proper.
* **The Summer Queen's domain:** Perhaps once this place was full of life, but now it is a greyed out, decaying place. However, a chance of mercy from a certain visitor brought this domain seemingly back to life.
* **The Nymph's Pond:** A fountain with a broken statue which houses a Nymph. Initially the pond was small and shallow, but was restored.
* **The Forest King's domain:** A forest of untold size and depth, wherein all manner of games and creatures live.
* **ETHEAL**: The Godpool. It is said that it can revive dead celestials, or possibly even gods. It is currently being guarded by the King of the Forest.

## Notable Residents

* **Pantomimes:** Considered "Pests" by other residents, the Pantomimes are terrifying creatures capable of mimicry, casting high-level arcane spells from hands and fingers that grow on their bodies, and ambushing unwary visitors to the Feywilds. They are soundly defeated however by silencing their voices, often beginning to choke if they cannot hear or speak.
* **Redcaps:** Mad little gnomish looking creatures who use conventional traps to catch their prey. They appear to live in a village near the Summer Queen's domain.
* **A certain Fortune Teller:** Even in the Feywilds, refunds are scarce.
* **The Husk:** She what remained when the flower of death escaped.
* **The Forest King:** The guardian of ETHEAL, and guardian of his forest. He loves games, and will always gather to them when they begin.
* **Pixies:** Impish little fey that love to play with riddles...and collect things. Sometimes without the things' consent.

## Notes

* This version of the Feywilds is a personal interpretation of GM MontyGlu, and therefor has little bearing on official 5e Dungeons and Dragons lore regarding the Feywild.
* Panic waving around the Flame of the Summer Queen revealed that the domain of the summer queen still reacts to her light.
