The Wylds

Created by

The Wylds is a wondrous world of high fantasy, filled with wild magic, numerous fey creatures of varying magical power, and fables.
12 of those fey creatures wield such powerful magics that they are Fey Lords of particular domains, granting spells and abilities to spellcasters who revere or bargain with them, like Gondra, Force of Creation, the Fey Lord of fire, the forge and craftsmanship who most often takes the appearance of a female dwarf master weapon smith. Or Iye, Vizier of Twilight, an Owlkin humanoid and shapeshifter who is the Fey Lord of twilight and secrets; sometimes appearing as a hooded human woman with an owl's head, sometimes as an owl with deep blue glowing eyes.
The main landmass of the Wylds is ruled by the four most powerful Fey Lords, each residing over on of the seasonal courts: The territories of the seasonal courts go through asymmetrical seasonal cycles of 5, 3, 1 and 3 months, where the 5 months are the season they are named for. For example; the Fields of Spring appear to be in the spring season for about 5 months of the year, followed by 3 months of summer, 1 month of autumn and again 3 months of winter. However, the Wildwood of Summer have 5 months of summer, 3 months of autumn, 1 month of winter and 3 months of spring before it turns to summer again.
In addition to the territory ruled by the courts, there are several landmasses that are less politically organised. Coming from the area known as the Wastes of Winter, there is a glacial peninsula stuck in the permanent frigid cold known as {the icy peaks}, while neighbouring the Wildwood of Summer there is a desert peninsula stuck in permanent sweltering heat named the Searing Sands.
At the heart of this enormous continent there is an inland sea with an island in the middle that is not claimed by any of the seasonal courts, nor does it have a dominant season, instead following an 'even' seasonal cycle of 4x3 months. This island is home to a technological marvel, the towering metropolis of Sylvata that is spread out over 10 disks, each going higher up into the sky. Home to a large community of people of all kinds who have left most belief in the Fey Lords behind, and instead have dedicated themselves to technology.
Finally, there is a strange, mostly unexplored volcanic archipelago in the southwest called the Verdant Isles that is home to nomadic seafaring communities who dare to brave the monsters of the deep blue ocean.
