## Ruler of the Castle of Misplaced Things

* Symbol

The Forgotten Prince is an Archfey, and as such a being of immense innate power.

## Appearance & Personality

The Forgotten Prince rules over the Castle of Misplaced Things, attended to by sly and devious fey, as well as creatures of shadow and stealth. Favoured most amongst his servants are the kenkus, for just as they have lost their voices and wings, the Forgotten Prince suffers as a result of his own losses. The Forgotten Prince has lost much and more, his deeds attributed to other souls, his belongings claimed by other hands, even his name taken by another. Cast out at birth, it is said that his family were subsequently slain, leaving him the only surviving member of a long and lineaged bloodline. Yet, without knowledge or understanding of his history, he cannot claim his rightly dued inheritance.

Despite this, the Forgotten Prince - at least in the instance that they have been encountered, is not a bitter individual, but instead revels in attention, and being the centre of it. Those that visit their domain must expect theatrics, their words, thoughts and deeds little more than pieces in a grand play for the Archfey's amusement, the ending and conclusion of the encounter most likely decided the moment that they arrive at the gates.

The Castle of Misplaced Things serves as a nexus of sorts between the Realms, for it is said that any item, thought or idea unappreciated vanish from where they languish unused, only to appear within his halls, where they may be forever valued - and the implications of their disappearance truly acknowledged.

## Powers & Abilities

Little is currently known of the extent of the Forgotten Prince's powers, although it is said that in their ascension to the power of Archfey, they are subsequently devoid of a fixed physical form, and while many of the Archfey are known to take humanoid forms when dealing with mortals, the Forgotten Prince may instead take the appearance of the countless souls that live their life without any of their deeds being noteworthy.

The Forgotten Prince seems to have particular control over and talent manipulating the possessions of those that visit their domain - whether physical, mental, or elsewise. Objects transform into others, abilities and skills vanish, body parts claimed momentarily to hamper his foes and bolster his own resolve and talents.

## 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.
