Titania

Summer Queen, Faerie Queen, Queen of Light

Overview

The lady of the seelie fey, Titania rules the Summer Court from the eternal bliss of the palace of Senaliesse. Titania is imbued with the very essence of summer. Growth and beauty attend her at all times. Wherever she treads, undying summer flowers sprout and bloom. Peace and tranquility adorn her like a veil and she glows with an enchanting golden light. Within all this beauty is one of the most intelligent and dangerous creatures to ever grace the mortal world with her presence.

Lady of Summer

Titania is the living embodiment of summer and all that entails. Her realm is a paradise of warmth and flowers. Summer eladrin lounge beneath trees in her realm, and are equally prone to acts of passion as they are acts of violence. Titania herself is a formidable foe whose prowess in battle is underestimated at her enemy's risk. She can conjure a wildfire with a mere frown, and she wears the dazzling mantle of the sun.

Rivalry

Titania is, without a doubt, the most powerful of all the fey lords, rivaled only by the Queen of Air and Darkness. Though apparent bitter rivals, matters are never that simple among the powerful, and doubly so among the unpredictable fey. Titania's court is a world of dangerous double-dealing and clever manipulation, where fey of the Summer and Gloaming courts scheme against one another in ploys that may take decades or even centuries to come to fruition. And firmly in place at the top of her court resides Titania, whose razor-sharp intellect and formidable strength has enabled her to foil all plans against her since time immemorial.

Titania's Lair

The palace of Senaliesse is a magnificent realm built into the canopy of towering silver trees, woven from the living wood itself and adorned with perfumed flowers and serenely buzzing insects. It is always peaceful here, and pleasures of all kinds can be found within. Here can be found representatives of fey from all across the Feywild, as well as occasional guests from the Outer Planes and even the mortal realm.
Passage into Senaliesse from the mortal realm may occur in dreams, where the sleepers fall asleep at the foot of a great tree and find themselves in the silver branches of the Summer Court. This replicates the effects of the astral projection spell.
While within her lair, Titania recovers 10 hit points at the beginning of her turn and can use her Legendary Resistance an additional 2 times. If Titania is encountered in her lair, she has a challenge rating of 26 (90,000 XP).

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Titania takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Titania can't use the same effect two turns in a row.

• All creatures of Titania's choice within her lair must succeed on a DC 20 Charisma saving throw or have their emotional state altered. This can replicate the effects of a fear or calm emotions spell. All affected creatures have their emotions altered in the same way, and the alteration lasts until initiative count 20 of the next turn.
• Titania makes one creature friendly to her invisible until initiative count 20 of the next round.

Regional Effects

The region containing Titania's lair is warped by her magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Titania chooses the nature of all dreams that occur within 5 miles of her lair, though not the content. For instance, she can dictate that all dreams become frightening, or peaceful, or strange, though she cannot choose what happens in them. These dreams have no lasting effect on waking. If a creature is affected by the dream spell, that spell takes precedence.
• At the end of each long rest taken within 5 miles of the lair, each creature must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is unwilling to leave Titania's realm until it completes another long rest. After three failed saving throws, the creature becomes loyally devoted to Titania and never willingly leaves her realm unless commanded to do so by Titania herself. Only a dispel evil and good spell or similar magic can end this effect. The saving throw is made with disadvantage if the creature willingly consumes any food offered to it by Titania or a creature loyal to her prior to that long rest
• The weather within 5 miles of Titania's lair is always balmy and pleasant, a perpetual summer evening, unless Titania wishes it otherwise.
