The Feywild
The group visited the Feywild after burning a drug dubbed 'Glittering Satsuma', which they acquired from the witch Setsuna Moon. All members of the party found themselves in a dream they struggled to wake up from, with the exception of Shinzu, who as an elf was immune to sleep magic. Physically in the Feywild. Shinzu was able to find and wake the others with the help a local nereid, Ceronde.
To Shinzu's eyes the Feywild was a surreal but beautiful forest not dissimilar to her native Lockbox Forest, though with far stranger and more vivid colours. The Feywild appeared to be 'shattered' as several trees took on a fragmented look, like broken glass that was not quite properly re-aligned. It grew more unstable as the people trapped within began to wake up.
Shinzu also came across a grove of roses she had to bypass to proceed. It appeared to be the ruins of a palace courtyard. In the sky was a blood red moon, much larger and closer than it should have been, giving the area an oppressive feeling. There was also a statue of a woman labelled 'Our Lady of Dusk'.
After finding and freeing some members of the group they came across the treant Prophetshroom, who led the group to believe Setsuna was the former Lady of Dusk. It is thought she traded her power to escape the Feywild before it shattered.
Once all members of the party were awake they fought a giant shadowy fey wolf, thought to be a pet left behind by Setsuna and since driven mad. Upon defeating it safe passage back to the material plane opened, and all the other dreamers woke up unharmed.
Most naturally-occurring portals to the Feywild are closed and it is said to be difficult to get to, with the group only able to travel there because Setsuna willed it. The group still has some Glittering Satsuma that can act as another portal, however.
Prophetshroom: A fungal treant so old, that had witnessed so much, that it could predict what would happen in the future - or so it claimed. It was old enough to remember, however vaguely, the time before the Feywild 'shattered'. It claimed this happened because all the Fey lords left to answer 'The Great Duty' at the behest of Tsunamjin, and that the Feywild proper was smashed into the Abyss - leaving only fragment pocket dimensions behind.
Impressed with the unpredictability of Tera's wild magic, Prophetshroom released Kyto (who it was accidentally holding in slumber) and gave the group some treasure. Rooted in place, it claimed it would 'return to sleep' when the group exited the Feywild, and its fate when they did so is unknown.

Notable NPCs:
Ceronde: A shy nereid who was not sure what to make of Shinzu when they met. Ceronde took on a somewhat shadowy, fragmented appearance in the Feywild but became more solid when she followed the group back to the material plane. She now resides in Orchestra Forest.Prophetshroom: A fungal treant so old, that had witnessed so much, that it could predict what would happen in the future - or so it claimed.
