Feywild

The Feywild, also known as the Plane of Faerie or simply Faerie, as well as Isan Meidan by the uldra, was an "echo" of the Prime Material Plane suffused with potent magic, and unrestrained emotions. It was the place from which fey originated, and from where the first elves arrived in Faerûn.

Cosmology

The Feywild has had a unique relationship with the Prime Material plane, and consequently was in an unusual cosmological position. The Feywilds existed as one of the Outer Planes, one that was coexistent with that of the Prime. This unique quality allowed creatures and fey beings to sometimes pass back-and-forth between the two planes at matching geographical locations without needing to traverse the Astral Plane. Indeed the Feywild held no connections to most transitive planes, including the Astral Plane, Ethereal Plane, or the Plane of Shadow.
Each location on the Prime held a duplicate in Faerie, albeit one altered in form and appearance by the plane's unique traits. Additionally, Faerie maintained some traits that were not observable during other times of history, such as lighter force of gravity than that felt on the Prime. The Feywild's other planar traits were an extended perception of the passage of time, accompanied by occasional memory loss.

Notable Domains

Unlike other major outplanar regions, the Feywild did not have layers. Instead, much like the prime material, it had regions controlled by powerful rulers.

Feydark

The Feydark was the echo of Toril's Underdark in the Feywild. Like most parts of the Feywild, it was more majestic and fantastic than its natural counterpart, with cavernous maze-like tunnels filled with exotic fungi. Within the Feydark were the the powerful realms of Mag Tureah, lead by the fomorian king Bres, and Vor Thomil, lead by the fomorian queen Connomae.

Sildëyuir

The small demiplane home of the star elves, occuping the location in the Feywild that corresponded to the Yuirwood of the Material plane.

Brokenstone Vale

The Feywild kingdom of lycanthropes attracted outcasts and refugees from across the realms of mortals. It had a long and bloodied history, have been founded by a werewolf lord that fought for his people's freedom from the neighboring eladrin. Despite its past, Brokenstone's residents garnered benefits from choosing to remain in the Feywild that were unavailable to their kin that dwelled on the Prime.

Domains of Delight

Within the Feywild were numerous demiplanes created by the Archfey, independent realms that were each formed to reflect the whims and emotions of its creator. They grew or shrunk in size depending on the power of their Archfey, occasionally leading to discontent among their leaders when borders of neighboring domains overlapped with one another.
One of the more prominent domains of delight was Prismeer, the realm of Zybilna. The domain was shattered by the Hourglass Coven of hags and reformed as three splinter-realms of Hither, Thither, and Yon.
Also found within Prismeer was the lesser domain of Fablerise. This gloomy forest was created by Yarnspinner, an enormous fey spider that attracted myriad awakened animals with his near endless supplies of stories and tales.
