Feywild

The Feywild is a small plane located within the Central Ring of the Planar Model. Within Arcadia, or the Prime Material Plane, it is known by a great many names including Elfame, Feywilds, the Realm of Faerie, and Faerieland. Followers of the god Demeres, the Winged Cavalier, often reference the land by the name Faerie. This plane is quite chaotic in nature, appearing to be a representation of natural wilds. It is theorized by many Arcadian scholars to be a plane which is either quite immature or aged, due to the nature of its intense and often unpredictable magic. Some theorize that in fact, both may be true of the plane. This is due to the plane's failure to consistently meet expectations of natural laws, including linear and circular passage of time, and gravity. Within planartarium models, it is most often represented by a small, pink or light green crystal disk.

## Geography

The Feywild is divided into four main quadrants. These quadrant are known as seasons or courts and are named according to the season which each quadrant's climate aligns with. They are aptly named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each quadrant is known to move and the shift between them is none too subtle, often appearing as a difference in geography and climate.

### Spring

A great expanse of fields is known to take up a portion of Spring.

### Summer

Summer is home to a unwavering desert of red sands, amongst other potential biomes. A scorching heat is present, and on occasion in the skies above, neon green clouds can be seen floating by.

### Autumn

It is unknown, the exact biomes and climate which

### Winter

The climate of Winter is chilling, offering little mercy from the relentless cold. Much of it is filled with dense, snowy forest of pine and fir. Hidden within its snowbanks, caves may sometimes be discovered which can offer protection and warmth.

### The Garden

The Garden is a neutral land at the center of the Feywild. The lands within the garden are unaffected by the surrounding seasons and is filled with glowing plant life and other strange phenomena. It has come to be inhabited by the witch Róza, who lives through a portal atop a set of ruby, spiral stairs in the Garden.

## Court System

The quadrants of the Feywild are additionally divided by political affiliations. These affiliations include the higher courts which consist of the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, and the lower courts within these divided by quadrant.

### Seelie Court

The Seelie Court is ruled by the Seelie Queen, the Queen of Fire and Light. Under its sociopolitical control are the lower courts of Spring and Autumn. These gentler seasons

### Unseelie Court

The Unseelie Court is ruled by the Unseelie Queen, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Her true name, as revealed by the magical sword, Rúnsearc, is Mabd. Under its sociopolitical control are the lower courts of Summer and Winter. The Unseelie Court is less gentle than the Seelie. The Summer and Winter Courts could be seen as the more extreme versions of Spring and Autumn.

#### Winter Court

The Winter Court is home to a grand city of ice beyond Winter's great snowy forests. When moving about the city, some folk opt to ice skate along paths instead of walking. At its heart stands a grand, icy castle in which the Queen and King of Winter reside. Many denizens of the Winter Court live within these walls, though some reside outside of them. Those common to this court, and season, include Winter Eladrin, Animal Folk such as those similar to polar bears and snowy owls, and more.

## Inhabitants

Denizens of the Feywild are presented according to the categorizations posed by the planar scholar Aengus mac Creidhe in his book, Elfame and the Gentry: An Ethnography of Our Planar Neighbors.

### Archfey

Archfey are highly powerful fey who often hold positions of import both within and outside of the Courts of the Feywild. In comparison to other fey, Archfey appear to have a deeper connection to the plane's abundant magic and therefore benefit from great magical ability. Due to their capacity for magic, they are sometimes known to grant gifts and make deals with mortal beings on the Prime Material Plane. The Archfey are exceptionally long-lived and considered near unkillable. The death of an Archfey may be achieved through highly specific means, though it is unknown by current scholar what this process is. Attempts outside of these means will never lead to death, but instead temporary destruction. When an Archfey is destroyed they will, in time, reform in the quadrant of the Feywild from which they hail.
