Plane of the Feywilds

The Feywild is a place of unrestrained and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The plane is always bathed in twilight of the setting (or perhaps rising) sun, with lanterns and fireflies providing additional, haunting lights. Visitors to the plane find that all sensations, both sensory and emotional, are heightened. Smells are stronger, colors are more vivid, and sounds are clearer, but at the same time shadows are darker and impulses are harder to control. Strong emotions even alter the landscape of the Feywild itself, wilting flowers trail the despondent or furious and carefree animals travel alongside chipper and cheerful individuals. The Feywild is an echo of the Prime plane of existance, and many landmarks have counterparts (although sometimes greatly different) within each plane.
Navigating the Feywild is complicated by the fact that distances do not always remain constant. While two landmarks might be the same distance apart as in the Prime when travelling in one direction, they might be inexplicably further or closer on the return trip. Further complicating any visit to the plane, time does not flow the same in the Feywild as on the Prime. While any visitor would experience time flowing as normal, often more time was passing in the Prime, sometimes on the order of weeks, months, or years longer than expected, although it was also possible for little or no time to have passed instead. More concerning, leaving the Feywild can have dire consequences. Lost time can suddenly "catch up" to a mortal, sending them into fits of exhaustion or hunger, or even killing them instantly if many years had passed. At the same time, those with no fey ancestry might find their memories of time spent in the Feywild going hazy, if not vanishing altogether.
Arcane magic runs more freely and powerfully in the Feywild than it does in the Prime, and it is for this reason that so many of its inhabitants and landmarks are suffused with magic. As an additional consequence of this all-encompassing magic, arcane spells tend to be amplified in power or duration when cast in the Feywild, and other times manifest in entirely unexpected ways.
