Within the Feywild

You emerge on the other side and see your party standing on solid ground away from the pool you just left from. You're all glancing around gazing at the wonders before your eyes... Massive trees that must be hundreds of feet tall Their tops seem to stretch off into the infinite sky above. Their trunks as wide as buildings. You are dwarfed by the sheer scope of what you see. You hear sounds of life all around you. Crickets and catydids and what sounds like thousands of species of birds deafen you with their cacophony of distinct calls. You can make out Giant mushrooms scattered about the forest floor among the sea of blue green grass under your feet. The sun seems to be setting in the sky above the canopy of trees creating a warm glowing twilight that washes over you all. High above you see stars twinkling in the sky.
Thengel emerges from the pool last, holding his midsection
"Far sweeter sound the forest notes, where forest streams are falling; Oh friends of mine, we cannot stay The fairie folk are calling..."
He then collapses to the ground.
"I am hurt badly. We may need to rest here if you don't mind. "
The party takes a long rest Upon waking, they find the sun is still in its position from yesterday appearing to set eternally. Thengel rises to his feet looking better than the previous day. "Wonderful to be home again. It's been years but feels like only yesterday. " "I know a shortcut to my lady's court. It is this way"
The party is led thru the wilderness.
On the way they encounter Tarlus "rip van winkle" asleep by a tree.
If the party wakes him
"How long have i been asleep for? Who is king of the isle?" (Calder I in his time. Now it is Arjuna IV)
Further ahead, you can hear a din of commotion. Sounds of people bickering and building something are audible. A village of gnomes rebuilding one of their tree homes. One of them approaches the party: "You all look large and strong and magnificent. May I implore a kindness from you? Can you put an end to the monster who does this to our home? He comes from the northern forest and wrecks our village and eats our townsfolk out of pleasure. We rebuild as best we can and then he returns some time later. This madness must cease. If you can deal with him i will reward you with an item of my own design. A magic device that makes any lock bend to your will" he winks at you and pulls out a shiny metal rod.

"Destroy that monster (malfeitor) and it shall be yours. "
The evil doer lies north of there.
The party moves north and encounters three red caps.

After dealing with that, Gwildor gives them the Chime of opening and thanks them Thengel informs them they should reach the tree they need by end of the night.
Moving forward You see the forest continue on infinitely ahead of you as you follow your Eladrin friend and his dog. Thousands of fireflies dance across your vision. You catch glimpses of Satyrs, Centaurs, Fauns, and pixies along with normal creatures like deer and rabbit, etc.

Finally they reach the edge of the forest and Thengel taps on a warped tree and they pass thru to the summery court.
*marching order? * You pass through the trunk of this massive tree and it looks like you are passing through this dark tunnel. Party member at the front can see a faint blue light at the ends of the tunnel. You pass another 300 feet and emerge out of what looks like the other side of the tree.
You are standing in this forest circle. Lit by a setting sun as well as several beautifully ornate lanterns giving off a warm yellow glow You see several figures standing around a vine and ivy covered throne. The warm light above the trees bathes the court in twilight. Looking at this gathering You see a green knight seeming to be made of leaves, three ancient looking fairies hovering in the air, what looks like a tree with a face, crouching among the crowd, a centaur standing tall and proud with a spear at his side, and a massive white winged unicorn who gives a slight bow at your approach. They surround two beings seated on thrones. One is a male who looks up be a mix of elf, satyr, and faerie. The other is a beautiful raven haired elf-like faerie. She appears very short and almoschild-like and you can see the outline of wings behind her. Her pale blue eyes penetrate you as she stares at you. She motions you to approach. An important looking female elf dressed in dark finery emerges from behind the throne.
"You have entered the court of the Summer Queen. Lady Titania bids you welcome. State your business."
The queen smiles brightly and motions toward Romaia
"You are known to my queen. She bids you good tidings"
Thengel Looks at Romaia with a renewed interest
"To hear the voice of the summer queen is to fall in love with her and lose yourself entirely. I am her emissary. I speak for her plainly and justly. "
:: the party asks to take the item::
You see the queen solemnly shake her head
"To be plain, that artifact is a dangerous one. Though we guard many powerful antiquities. That is one we would be glad to be rid of. Lest it fall into the hands of my lady's sister, The Queen of Air and Darkness. Or a being far worse. However, You are strangers to this court. My lady asks you prove yourself to her by completing a task. Earn the trust of the summer court. Then you will be allowed to see the artifact. "
"Within the gloaming forest, there dwells a cursed creature. A Fomorian. It spends its time stealing away my people for food as well as spreading its curse to others. Deal with them and my lady will name you friends of the summer court. And allow you to access the item of which you speak.. "
If the party agrees..
You see the queen wave her hand and a tree within the circle opens up its trunk to reveal a passage way.
Passing through, you emerge in what looks like a different part of the forest. It is eternally night here
Eochthighern, Lord of unicorns and pegasi. He embodies protection and loyalty, he is also a patron of healing.
"You have left the dark woods of your tribulation and are now basking in the sunlight of your accomplishments. "
Skerrit is the Lord of centaurs. This powerful fey is the patron of communities and natural balances. Most centaurs are often the mediators and wardens of nature both in the Feywild and the material plane.

Emmantiensien is the Lord of treants and trees. Often much of the Emerald Woods is an extension of this powerful and ancient fey deity. Emma (shortened) is an entity that represents deep and hidden magics or old sage wisdom. Sometimes Emma will appear as an old, wizened sage with a crooked wooden staff, though sometimes he may seem as a gnome as well. Old Treebeard is a common name, so myths have this entity slumbering deep within the Summer Woods dreaming of ancient times.
Fairy godmothers are often times fey nobles or archfey of considerable power who lure humans under their service and often times tempt them with sweets or presents. Not all fairy godmothers are benevolent, there are plenty of evil fairy godmothers. But even these fey should be met with caution and trepidation.

The Green Knight is a powerful archfey that guards and protects the Emerald Woods, often confused for the Summer Knight, but that title belongs to Titania’s consort and ally. This fey often is said to be an extension of Emma, but often times it can be seen to have a will of its own.

Unused encounter:
In the Hags Lair You emerge from the Tree into this clear forest path. The light of the summer court is absent now and night seems to have fallen around you. Though the darkness strangely seems alive, its hard to explain.
Walking along the path - You see a beautiful young girl. She is barely clothed this silky sheer gown and flowing hair cover her modesty. She is quite beautiful. She is playing a flute along the path as you approach.
"What's this? Hello friends. Come and meet my sisters. We have not had visitors in so long"
You continue along and approach this dark looking homestead. A light is on and you hear voices within.
"My sisters will be so happy to have visitors. They'll be overjoyed I've brought you. You may be invited to dinner." Se says with a smile.
