Faewild

The Plane of the Fae

The faewild is a magickal place full of whimsy and wonder. It is said to mirror that of the mortal plane, but with a delightful magickal glow about it. Everything is colorful and bright. The faewild contains many species, such as fae, harengons, elves, fauns, sprites, dryads, pixies, centaurs, blink dogs, fae dragons, treants, unicorns, etc. On top of that, there are the darker regions of the faewild, where hags, blights, goblins, ogres, and giants wander.

Entering the Realm

Coming across the faewild is a feat in itself. There are a few ways one could go about entering, but mostly they are lucky when they enter the faewild. To someone witnessing their friend or a stranger just vanishing into thin air.
In most occasions, one can enter via a clearing, wading into a pool, stepping into a circle of mushrooms, or crawling under the trunk of a tree. All portals into the faewild are randomized. This might only happen during a full moon, dawn of a particular day, or for someone carrying a certain fae item.

Leaving

When leaving the faewild, one risks losing all memory of the place. This is ensure the safety of the realm and that nothing from purgatory would ever make its way into the faewild.
You can roll a DC 10 ( 1d20 ) Wisdom saving throw. If you succeed, you can keep your memories, but are a little hazy on the details. However, any spell that can end a curse can restore memories. Curse ending spells are rare and almost impossible to cast without the necessary ingredients, which can take hundreds of years to obtain.

If you roll a 1d20 , the result of the die will tell you how much time as passed in the faewild since you entered.

d20	Result
1-2	Days becomes minutes
3-6	Days become hours
7-13	No change
14-17	Days become weeks
18-19	Days become years
20	Days become years

The Dark Hags

Three hags of the Dark Coven roam the faewild and have changed it for the worst. They have split the faewild into three portions - Finox, Pephaire, and Sooroth. Each location has its very own hag and her loyal followers. To find one's way out of the faewild, they must travel through each location, defeat the hag, and restore the faewild to what it formerly was.
You, the one in control of your character's destiny, know what you are missing. Travel across the three splinter-realms (Finox, Pephaire, and Sooroth) to find said missing thing. Along the way, you may discover the deep, dark secrets that run across all of the faewild.

Finox

Open full size

Finox

The hag known as Cyrena Crowe transformed her portion of the faewild into a swampy land. It is a forboding place, one where daylight never fully penetrates the dank mist that hands over the land, and where cruel and mischievous bandits prey unpon stranded and lost travelers. Finox is the realm of the present, where life and decay walk hand in hand, and where creatures live in the moment, not concerned with history or repercussions.

Pephaire

It is a sprawling fae woodland with a decaying core. With each passing day, Lorelei Graves' presence eats away at the forest's trees and taints its denizens.

Pephaire

Sooroth

Sooroth

Alana Shade, the Dame of Unhappy Endings, presides over this realm, and herpenchant for theatrics has transformed the land around her. Storm clouds roil, shadows take on a life of their own, and the air is filled with a sense of impending dread.

Queen of the Realm

Through lore, there are rumors that Queen Zybilna normally runs the faewild, but her whereabouts are unknown and the faewild is currently torn apart by the Dark Coven. No fae dares to speak of them or else face the chance of provoking their wrath. Instead, the group is forced to depart on an epic quest across the faewild in search of their lost things.

Rules of Conduct

Although Zybilna is indisposed, three of the rules she put into place when she created her faewild domain continue to hold weight: the rule of hospitality, the rule of ownership, and the rule of reciprocity. These three rules are common knowledge in the faewild, and both natives and vistors would do well to abide by them:

• Rule of Hospitality: When a friend, an enemy, or a stranger enters your home, you are expected to be gracious and acommodating to them until such time as they prove, by their words or actions, undeserving of such hospitality.
• Rule of Ownership: You must not steal from a friend, an enemy, or a stranger. To take something that doesn't belong to you without the rightful owner's permission is a crime and an unforgivable breach of etiquette.
• Rule of Reciprocity: When a friend, an enemy, or a stranger offers you a gift, you are obliged to accept it and offer something of comparable value (be if a gift or a service) in return. Such reciprocation need not happen immediately.

Lost Things

It is said that when someone is touched by the mist of the faewild, they lose something dear to them. Retrieving their lost things will require the characters to explore the faewild regions of Finox, Pephaire, and Sooroth.

Determining What was Lost

Each person, having lost something precious to the faewild mist, is unable to gain inspiration (see House Rules) until they gain back what was taken from them. A remove curse spell is not powerful enough to end this effect on someone, but a wish spell can.

Available only for those participating in the Wanders of the Yonder story. If you are a participant in the correct subscriber group, special notes will appear below.

Children of the Faewild

The characters might encounter children who were lured to the faewild and stumbled into Zybilna's domain by other means. These children have been stuck in the faewild long enough to forget about the worlds they came from, yet they haven't aged much at all.
Zybilna's magick protects all children in the faewild (but not creatures disguised as children). The hags of the Dark Coven are aware of this magick and unable to dispel it. Any child in the faewild who would take damage as a consequence of another creature's actions vanishes in a burst of multicolored light and is spirited away to a safe corner of the faewild, unharmed and unreachable from the domain's splinter-realms or the palace, until Zybilna wills the child to return to her. Children sequestered in this fashion are beyond the reach of everyone else and can't be located or scried upon using magick.

Faelost

Overview:

You grew up in the Faewild after disappearing from your home plane as a child. Perhaps you were spirited away by a kindly fae, who thought you were destined for great things. Perhaps you stumbled through a fae crossing by chance during a twilight stroll through the woods. Perhaps you were kidnapped by evil fae but escaped from their clutches. Whatever the manner of your disappearance, you gradually fell under the Faewild's spell and learned a little about the nature of the mercurial tricksters that dwell there.
When you finally returned to your home plane, you did not come back unchanged. You are haunted by the fact that the Faewild--a mirror world hidden behind a mere twist of perception--is only a hair's breadth away. Although, you memories of the Faewild grow fainter with each passing day, your heart swells with a mixture of fear and joy at the prospect of one day venturing back to the Plane of the Fae--your home away from home.

Determine the spirits form by rolling a 1d8 on the Faewild Visitor table. No harm ever comes to you as a result of such visits, which can last for minutes or for hours, and you remember each visit when you wake up.

Faewild Connections

Your mannerisms and knowledge of fae customs are recognized by natives of the Faewild, who see you as one of their own. Because of this, friendly fae creatures are inclined to your aid if you are lost or need help in the Faewild.

Transforming the Domain

The faewild is shaped by the emotions of the creatures that inhabit it. Even creatures of little consequence can transform the domain in minor ways as long as no other, more powerful force is exerting its influence. For example, flowers might wilt in the presence of a goblin who is terribly unhappy. Similarly, a satyr's laughter might cause a smile to appear on the trunk of an inanimate tree nearby. A more powerful creature, such as a hag, can reshape a larger portion of the domain to reflect their emotional state. An archfey is so attuned to the faewild that their emotions can suffuse an entire domain, overriding the emotional influence of all other creatures in it. From that standpoint, Zybilna's dormancy enables other creatures to affect the faewild more than they could if she were still active.
As the characters make their way across the splintered realms of the faewild, any emotional outburst or change in mood they exhibit might be accompanied by a minor reaction in the environment, which you can determine by choosing an entry that you like from the Domain Transformation table or by rolling on the table to determine a random result. Not every emotion felt in the faewild is worthy of a roll on the table; you can save these effects for occasions when emotions are running high, to remind your players that the faewild is not like the Material Plane. Because these effects have no impact on the story, you can forgo using the table if you want.
If Zybilna is released from her temporal stasis, the ability of other creatures to alter her domain is suppressed until she is incapacitated, killed, or no longer in the faewild.

Death in the Faewild

Whenever a creature--including a player character--dies in the faewild, its death has a chanc of triggering one of several magickal effects put in place by Zybilna. The effect is determined by rolling a d8 and referring to the Death Effects table.

Faewild Treats

Any character who spends at least 1 hour searching for drinkable water in the faewild wilderness can make a DC 15 Wisdom (Survival) check. If the check succeeds, the character finds a natural spring that can provide as much fresh water as the party can carry.
Foraging for food is even easier. Any character who spends at least 1 hour foraging can make a DC 10 Wisdom (Survival) check. On a Success, the character finds enough food to feed the party for 1 day. A character who exceeds the DC by 10 or more also finds one or more edible faewild treats, determined by rolling once on the Faewild Treats table.
