   Keys: feywild, environment, wilderness, outside, outdoors, area, fey

   The Feywild, also known as the Plane of Faeries is a parallel plane to the Material Plane. Unlike the Material Plane, the Feywild is fueled by wild, magical energy drawn from the emotions of its inhabitants. Because of its connection to the Material Plane, the Feywild has similar topography and geography to the mortal world, though exact locations are constantly shifting and are therefore impossible to plot.

   The Feywild is a realm of everlasting twilight, with glittering faerie lights bobbing in the gentle breeze and fat fireflies buzzing through groves and fields. The sky is alight with the faded colors of an ever-setting sun, which never truly sets (or rises for that matter); it remains stationary, dusky and low in the sky.

   The Feywild is inhabited by sylvan creatures, such as eladrin, dryads, satyrs, pixies, and sprites, as well as centaurs and magical creatures such as blink dogs, faerie dragons, treants, firbolgs, and unicorns. The darker regions of the plane are home to such creatures as hags, redcaps, quicklings, blights, displacer beasts, goblins, hobgoblins, bugbears, ogres, and fomorians.

   The Feywild has its own illogical logic that visitors from other planes can never fully grasp. While visitors are easily vexed by roads that lead nowhere and forest trails that double back on themselves. Those who are native to the Feywild have little trouble navigating though. Time and distance in the Feywild are mutable, as is the plane’s geography. Roads are uncommon, and those that exist are as likely to change as the land around them. Because the distance between locations is not fixed and dilations in time are commonplace, a journey that took one hour yesterday might take three days tomorrow. Feywild natives are accustomed to the plane’s mutability. For them, it’s no more peculiar than the sun rising and setting on a Material Plane world.

   Two queens hold court in the Feywild, and most fey owe allegiance to one or the other. Queen Titania and her Summer Court lead the seelie fey, and the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court, leads the unseelie fey.

   Locations in the Feywild

   • The eladrin cities of Astrazalian and Mithrendain
   • The Feydark, a maze of tunnels and caverns underneath the Feywild.
   • The fomorian fortress Mag Tureah located in the Feydark
   • Murkendraw, a swamp that is home to the infamous hag known as Baba Yaga
   • The Vale of Long Night, domain of the Prince of Frost
   • The goblin city of Nachtur
   • The Amethyst Highlands, domain of the archfey Fiura
   • There are also countless Domains of Delight ruled over by powerful archfey
2. #2Domains of Delightselective

   Keys: domain of delight, domains of delight

   Domains of Delight are sequestered realms governed by an archfey—the most powerful of Fey creatures. An archfey gives form to their Domain of Delight, shaping it in ways unique to their personality. Some Domains of Delight are bright and cheery, while others are gloomy, but each one reflects the emotional state of its ruler. A Domain of Delight can be as small as a few acres or as big as a country. A small Domain of Delight might have only one prominent geographical feature. A large Domain of Delight can have multiple geographical features.

   Examples of Geographical Features:

   • A colossal, gnarled tree, its trunk riddled with passageways, halls, chambers, and staircases
   • A valley filled with grassy meadows and groves of trees along a running river, nestled between two snow-capped mountains that look like the -points of a crescent moon
   • A crystal castle that sings in sunlight or moonlight
   • A vast thicket of thick roots, thorny vines, and sinuous creepers that weave together to form long tunnels, grand hallways, and enormous domes
   • A complex of caves connected by passageways formed by Fey magic to create grand galleries and soaring vaults
   • Rolling farmland that yields healthy, bountiful produce of amazing size
   • A forest of tower-sized mushrooms, or a forest of tiny mushrooms that characters must shrink down to explore
   • An island that is actually a colossal sleeping turtle
   • etc.

   A Domain of Delight might have a prevailing theme.

   Examples of Domain Themes:

   • Adversarial. Adversarial personalities are common here, even among the local wildlife. Animated trees swat at passersby, sentient flowers scoff and sneer, and local Fey are grumpy and uncooperative.
   • Crystalline. Crystal domain contains a profusion of crystal formations and outgrowths, as well as structures and trees made of crystal. Some of the crystals might generate light, music, or both.
   • Gloomy. Everything here has a gloomy cast. Tree branches look like skeletal fingers, night creatures slink and flutter about, and skull-like faces appear on plants, stones, and sprites’ wings.
   • Inquisitive. Creatures in this domain are nosy and hungry for gossip. Animated trees use their branches to pick through backpacks when travelers aren’t looking; pixies spy on strangers; and birds eavesdrop on conversations, repeating what they’ve heard to their masters.
   • Kaleidoscopic. This domain is a riot of everchanging colors. Plants come in a dazzling array of colors, flowers change color to suit the prevailing mood, and Fey wear costumes of scintillating hues.
   • Lackadaisical. The creatures here are easygoing. No one is in a hurry, and no task is greeted with a sense of urgency.
   • Musical. This domain abounds with music. Frogs, toads, and insects break into multipart harmonies that sometimes crescendo into a symphonic rapture of melodious tweets, trills, chirps, and whistles. Fey in this domain are just as musically inclined.
   • Poisonous. Almost every plant here has spines or thorns that cause anything from itchy welts to damage or out-of-body experiences. Other sources of poison might be present as well (for example, toxic bogs or giant, poisonous Beasts).
   • etc.

   When travelers enter an archfey's domain, the ruling archfey might spy on them from afar to discern their intentions before approaching them or test the visitors’ mettle with a series of challenging encounters and/or puzzles before deeming them fit to bask in the archfey’s presence. Conversely, the archfey might be blissfully unaware of a visitor's intrusion or show no interest in them. A shy or reclusive archfey might not want to be disturbed at all.

   Archfey have one thing in common: they’re all Fey. Beyond that, their features and personalities vary widely.

   Examples of Archfey Appearances:

   • Adorable. The archfey has taken on the form of something adorable, such as an otter, a fawn, a sugar glider, a wombat, or a beautiful butterfly.
   • Ancient. This archfey appears to be eons old. They might have gnarled skin like teakwood and long, gray hair that looks like elaborate lacework.
   • Bizarre. This archfey looks like something from the realm of dreams. They could take on the appearance of a scintillating ball of light, a floating mask, or a whispering shadow.
   • Floral. Flowers bloom from the archfey’s fingertips, and their skin is covered in petals. Their body might have thorns, or they could have vine-like hair covered in sweet-smelling blossoms.
   • Fluid. The archfey can change body type or transform from one creature into another.
   • Iridescent. The archfey floats off the ground and gazes about with glowing eyes, their body surrounded by a nimbus of light and their skin sparkling like sunlight on water.
   • Metallic. The archfey appears to be made of metal. Their face is an exquisitely crafted mask of mithral, silver, or gold, and their body is made of finely tooled metal etched with organic designs or cryptic symbols.
   • Monstrous. This archfey has a monstrous form. For example, they might resemble an enormous spider, a hydra whose heads look like oversized elf heads with fangs, or any other horrific form you can imagine. -etc.

   Examples of Archfey Personalities:

   • Benevolent. The archfey welcomes all into their domain and does everything in their power to assist those who come to them in true friendship or grave need.
   • Covetous. The archfey hoards things they consider valuable and uses spies to find more of what they covet. The archfey never leaves their lair for fear that their hoard might be plundered.
   • Imperious. The archfey surrounds themself with a court of sycophants and expects visitors to grovel before them. Their mercy is rare, and their superiority complex is legendary.
   • Madcap. The archfey loves to sing, dance, drink, wear silly masks, do cartwheels, and throw parties where everyone is free to cavort and revel how they wish.
   • Mercurial. The archfey has two personalities (choose two other personalities from this table). They shift back and forth between these personalities at certain times or when certain conditions are met.
   • Mischievous. The archfey is a trickster who likes to confound and frustrate visitors to their domain and who surrounds themself with sly creatures such as boggles, pixies, foxes, magpies, and crows.
   • Reclusive. The archfey prefers to be left alone and seldom, if ever, leaves their domain. They might adopt disguises or turn invisible when they travel, and they might use magic to conceal their lair.
   • Wild. The archfey has the demeanor of a wild animal and shuns the trappings of society. -etc.

   Obsessions are common among archfey.

   Examples of Archfey Obsessions:

   • Beauty. The archfey does everything in their power to rid their domain of that which they consider ugly. What they consider beautiful is not always clear, however.
   • Color. This archfey is obsessed with a particular color and puts their subjects to work making sure the archfey’s favorite color is predominant. Wearing another color in the domain could be seen as laughable, obnoxious, or downright rude.
   • Etiquette. The rules in the archfey’s domain change as they learn about some new custom that is popular in the Summer Court. The archfey requires all creatures in their domain to respect the new rules of etiquette.
   • Magic. Magic in all its forms fascinates the archfey. They collect magic items and spellbooks, and they enjoy seeing demonstrations of magic from visitors.
   • Material Plane. The archfey is obsessed with creatures and objects from the Material Plane. There is a scent, an energy, and a uniqueness to them that fascinates the archfey.
   • Monsters. The archfey has a menagerie of monsters and is obsessed with finding marvelous new creatures to add to its collection.
   • Rule of Three. The archfey is obsessed with the Rule of Three. They look for patterns, deeper meanings, and ill omens in things that occur in threes. The archfey’s obsession is reflected throughout their domain, where things seem to naturally come in threes.
   • Stories. The archfey wants nothing more than to listen to stories told by creatures from faraway places. They love to gather lore so they can build their own internal world of imagination or transform their domain with ideas from other worlds. Their lair is festooned with books, which give the archfey inspiration. -etc.

   Almost every archfey has a signature magical power.

   Examples of Archfey Signature Magic:

   • Arcane Antlers. The archfey has antlers made of metal, crystal, bone, or some other substance, which allow the archfey to raise the dead. They shed their antlers and grow new ones every hundred years, prompting thieves to sneak into the domain to acquire the shed antlers.
   • Compelling Voice. The archfey has a magical voice that can charm creatures of a certain type (such as Beasts or Fey). This voice might be as soft as a whisper or loud like thunder.
   • Dreamwalk. When they sleep, the archfey projects a ghost-like version of themself that can leave their body and go anywhere in their domain.
   • Hand of Knowing. One of the archfey’s hands blurs as though it were in multiple places at once. The archfey can learn the entire history of a creature or object by touching it with that hand.
   • Health Aura. The archfey’s presence rids creatures and vegetation of disease. Healthy vegetation yields an overabundance of flowers and fruit.
   • Scrying Eye. This archfey has an ornately crafted, removable eye that has the power of truesight (as described in the Monster Manual). The archfey can see through this orb at all times. If the detached eye is destroyed, it rematerializes undamaged in the archfey’s empty eye socket.
   • Simulacra. The archfey can make magical copies of themself and other creatures. These simulacra are similar to those created by the simulacrum spell.
   • Time Distortion. For each minute spent in the archfey’s presence, an hour passes elsewhere.
   • etc.
3. #3Weatherselective

   Keys: weather, rain, snow, cloud, hail, outside, clear sky, clear skies, sky, fog, outdoor, haze, wind, cold, warm, hot, heat, feywild, environment, chill

   On occasion the Feywild can have otherworldly weather in addition to the normal weather one would be used to.

   Examples of weather in the Feywild:

   • Normal weather such as clear sky, cloudy, rain, snow and hail.
   • Flower blossoms rain from a sky filled with sparkling, pastel-colored clouds.
   • It rains tiny fruit tarts. They fall slowly and disappear just before they hit the ground. If caught from the air and eaten, they’re delicious.
   • Fog rolls in and plays harmless tricks on people, giving them fog mustaches, fog eyebrows, and fog wigs of many styles—perhaps even fog cloaks or fog companions.
   • The sky fills with iridescent bubbles that lazily fall to the ground. Giggling pixie children chase and pop the bubbles but turn invisible and flee if spoken to or approached.
   • A silvery rain lifts the spirits and brings a song to each heart that it touches.
   • A howling wind blows through that might deliberately steal a trinket or some other tiny item.
   • etc.

   The Feywild has the same seasons as the Material Plane: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

4. #4Emotionsselective

   Keys: emotion, feel, anger, argue, arguing, malice, joy, cheer, happy, happiness, whisper, gossip, sad, cry, smile, sing, rage, raging, cruel, fury, furious, dour, dolor, depress, frown, secret

   The Feywild responds to unfettered emotion. It’s not uncommon for flowers to turn and tremble if there’s a heated argument nearby. If someone is filled with malice, their footprints might wither the grass under their feet. Birds chirp merrily in the presence of those who are joyous and squawk angrily at those who are perpetually dour. Nosy trees lean in to overhear whispers of conspiracy, eager for delicious tidbits they can gossip about later. A rock might reshape itself to look like the creature that’s happily sunning itself on the rock’s surface. Etc.

5. #5Cultureselective

   Keys: culture, trade, shop, shopping, trading, cultural, social, socialize, befriend, chat, speak to, hospitality, gift, gifts, reciprocity, quid pro quo, pay, payment, reward, price, cost, society, money, currency, coin, coins

   Those who are native to the Feywild don't accept or use currency as payment, many Fey don't even understand the concept of money. Instead, the fey prefer the giving of gifts as a form of trade which is backed by a culture built around reciprocity.

   Reciprocity

   By and large, Fey feel strongly about quid pro quo and balance. If something is taken, then something of equal value must be given, and what a Fey considers to be of equal value is often different to what someone from the Material Plane might expect.

   Examples of Fey Reciprocity:

   • A Fey might steal a human’s beloved pet and leave in its place a brightly painted wooden effigy,
   • A Fey might take some gold and leave a bundle of bright, yellow buttercups.

   Hospitality

   Hospitality is a pillar of Fey society. Treating a visitor to one’s home with with courtesy and generosity is important to most Fey, but the visitor must show their Fey host the same courtesy and not act boorishly or demonstrate blatant impropriety. Rudeness breaks the bond of reciprocity and frees a Fey host from the obligation to be hospitable. But each Fey has different ideas about what constitutes rudeness; even an ill-conceived gift to a Fey host might be regarded as an insult and cause a hubbub, if not a revocation of the Fey host’s hospitality.

   Gifts

   Connected to both hospitality and reciprocity is the giving of gifts. Fey are avid gift-givers (partially because they like receiving gifts), and their gifts are usually very thoughtful. Good gifts have sentimental value to the giver. For example, a beloved heirloom makes a fine gift to a Fey creature. A throwaway gift is an insult that flies in the face of reciprocity and hospitality.

   Gifts provide a kind of balance that many Fey obsess over. If there is a perceived imbalance, a carefully chosen gift can set things right; this is why refusing a gift from a Fey creature can cause them consternation, as they’re trying to right a perceived imbalance by giving the gift. But accepting a gift from a Fey can cause problems for the uninitiated traveler, as it can indebt them to the Fey creature: “I gave you a gift, so now you must give me one in return.” It can also lead to the formation of an accidental fey contract.

   Examples of Good Gifts to Give a Fey:

   • A family ring
   • An object that is sacred to you
   • Your Favorite hat
   • A piece of art that you made
   • A trinket from the Material Plane
   • Your favorite dessert recipe
   • A sensational, applause-worthy performance
   • Give them a haircut or bath

   Bad Gifts to Give Fey

   • An item that has outlived its usefulness
   • An item you intended to get rid of
   • A half-hearted performance
   • Cursed, evil, or broken item
6. #6Seelie and Unseelieselective

   Keys: seelie, unseelie, summer court, gloaming court, queen of air and darkness, summer queen, titania, fey, queen, court

   Seelie Fey and Unseelie Fey are two groups that often find themselves at odds. Seelie Fey cling to the trappings of civilization, value protocol, and uphold traditions. Unseelie Fey indulge their primal instincts, abhor adherence to protocol, and shun conformity. The two groups are not opposites morally or ethically; good and evil Fey can be found in both.

   Seelie and Unseelie Fey gather in courts. The Seelie court is called the Summer Court, and the Unseelie court is called the Gloaming Court. Both courts stretch to the far corners of the Feywild, so their representatives can be encountered almost anywhere on this plane of existence. The Summer Court and the Gloaming Court are by no means the only great Fey courts, but they’re the most well-known to creatures on the Material Plane and the most widespread.

   How the Summer Court and the Gloaming Court came to be is a mystery. Perhaps some Fey felt a deeper affinity with the natural world and chose to emulate it, while other Fey began to control nature, using magic to invent new ways of living. Whatever the case, innumerable Fey pursued these two paths, which became the two courts, and there have been squabbles between them ever since.

   Each court tries to destabilize and demoralize the other. Both Fey courts have spies who dig up dirt, sow seeds of dissent, and cause mischief. Captured spies are either ransomed or made examples of in various humiliating, nonlethal ways.

   Much of the gossip and chatter within the Feywild is fueled by the intrigue and drama between the two queens that rule the courts. Titania, the Summer Queen, is the regal and charismatic ruler of the Summer Court. Her court enjoys a tenuous peace with the unearthly ruler of the Gloaming Court, the Queen of Air and Darkness, who allows her kin to dabble in magic forbidden by the Seelie Court.

   Conflicts between the Fey courts are often ritualized. Representatives of both courts gather in an amphitheater or field to have heated debates or energetic dance competitions that simulate combat, and these events are often laced with bawdy insults and lewd gestures. Only on rare occasions do things get physical, and even then, the Fey do little more than bite, scratch, and hurl mud at each other.

   Every now and then, the two queens lock horns, causing tensions to rise throughout the Feywild. If only one of them can get her way, what would normally be a squabble can turn to bloodshed. But only the Fey queens can declare all-out war against each other, and it would take something extreme to have them abandon their relative peace and hurl their courts into violence and chaos.

   The Summer Court and the Gloaming Court have nothing akin to a mutual defense pact, and the very thought of one is greeted by jeers on both sides. If a rising army of fomorians or some other threat endangers one court, it’s widely understood that the other court will not intervene unless it, too, is threatened by the same enemy.

7. #7Queen Titania and Seelie Feyselective

   Keys: seelie, summer court, titania, summer queen

   Summer Court (Seelie Fey):

   • Favors sunshine, butterflies, flowers, music, and singing birds
   • Values ceremony and refinement (for example, proper ways of speaking, formal etiquette, and extravagant dinner parties)
   • Favors elaborate, manufactured costuming with immaculate tailoring
   • Harshly judges those who don’t exhibit the proper etiquette (adventurers who commit social blunders make fools of themselves, might be labeled buffoons, and might be laughed out of court)
   • Keep blink dogs as pets and guard animals sometimes.

   ---

   Queen Titania of the Summer Court is a being of such ancient power that many consider her the most powerful of all the archfey. Like many fey, she can change her appearance at will, though she most often wears the guise of a beautiful elf with honey-colored skin and hair that shimmers through all the colors of autumn leaves. Her eyes differ based on her mood, ranging from an emerald green when she is calm to an amber-gold when she has been angered.

   Though Titania is seen as the driving force of good in the Feywild, she is not above burning her enemies in the fire of battle. Above all, she understands that wildfires are a necessary stage in a forests’ lifecycle. Her main concern is the health and safety of the Feywild, and she will do anything in her immense power to ensure that the lands within the Feywild’s borders remain beautiful and pristine.

   Out of all of the archfey, Titania is the most amenable to mortals. She delights in the innovation and creativity that results in the brief life span of those that travel from the Material Plane, and frequently requests mortal artists at her court’s gatherings. Stemming from her love of mortals, Titania is known to hear out the pleas of adventurers that travel the dangers of the Feywild to seek her out. Even though she is not as fickle or volatile as other archfey, none of what she offers those who seek her help is given for free.

8. #8Queen of Air and Darkness and Unseelie Feyselective

   Keys: unseelie, gloaming court, queen of air and darkness

   Gloaming Court (Unseelie Fey)

   • Favors gloom, twilight, cobwebs, fireflies, hooting owls, and croaking frogs
   • Values the intuitive and instinctual (for example, mystical rituals, visionaries, and firelit parties)
   • Shuns the constraints of civilization (instead wearing only unfinished natural materials and sleeping under the stars)
   • Dabbles in mysterious magic and rituals (adventurers can run afoul of curses if they don’t follow the Unseelie ways)

   ---

   The Queen of Air and Darkness is an archfey like her sister, Queen Titania. In opposition to the Summer Court and the seelie fey, the Queen of Air and Darkness rules over the unseelie fey and the Gloaming Court. The Queen of Air and Darkness represents death and the cold, utilizing unforgiving power that resides in places where the sun’s rays never touch.

   The Queen of Air and Darkness feels no need to manifest herself as a relatable, sentient creature like her sister. Instead, she projects her presence from the Night Diamond, a hovering black gem the size of a human head that glimmers with captured stars. Because of her naturally suspicious, mysterious nature, not much is known about the Queen of Air and Darkness. It is not even known whether her true name has been lost to the passage of time, or whether those that know it are too afraid to speak it.

   The Queen of Air and Darkness is said to hear out those that call to her in desperate times, when the queen’s enigmatic power is the only hope they can see in their black pit of despair. Those that are answered and are offered her power must trade more than secrets or favors. The poor souls that accept the terms usually wish before long that they could crawl back to the comfort and familiarness that was their pit of despair.

9. #9Fey Crossingsselective

   Keys: crossing, leave the feywild, enter the feywild

   Fey crossings are places of mystery and beauty on the Material Plane that have a near-perfect mirror in the Feywild, creating a portal where the two planes touch. A traveler can pass through a fey crossing by entering a clearing, wading into a pool, stepping into a circle of mushrooms, crawling under the trunk of a tree, etc. To the traveler, it seems like he or she has simply walked into the Feywild with a step. To an observer, the traveler is there one moment and gone the next.

   Like other portals between planes, most fey crossings open infrequently. A crossing might open only during a full moon, on the dawn of a particular day, or for someone carrying a certain type of item. A fey crossing can be closed permanently if the land on either side is dramatically altered — for example, if a castle is built over the clearing on the Material Plane.

   An archfey is usually aware of any Fey crossings that allow creatures to enter and leave the archfey’s domain and may protect these Fey crossings or leave them unguarded. Some Fey crossings operate only at certain times or when certain conditions are met. The Fey Crossings table allows you to randomly determine the characteristics of a fey crossing that allows passage to and from a Domain of Delight. Your Domain of Delight can have as few or as many Fey crossings as you like, and they need not all be the same in appearance or function.

   Geographical features on one side of a fey crossing tend to be similar to those on the other side, to the extent that some travelers might be unaware they’ve left one plane of existence and entered another. For example, if one stumbles upon a fey crossing in a cave, a similar cave might lie on the other side of that fey crossing, as if the caves were near-perfect reflections of each other.

10. #10Eladrinselective

    Keys: eladrin

    Eladrin are elves of the Feywild. Each eladrin resonates with emotions captured in the Feywild in the form of seasons—affinities that affect the eladrin’s mood and appearance. Like other elves, eladrin can live to be over 750 years old. Eladrin have keen senses. Eladrin don't sleep, rather they go into a trance during which they remain conscious. Eladrin possess the ability to "fey step" which means they can teleport themselves and/or anyone they're touching a short distance in the blink of an eye.

11. #11Fairyselective

    Keys: fairy, faerie, fairies, faeries

    Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much so as their pixie and sprite friends. Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like short elves with insectile wings. Fairies can fly, enlarge or reduce their size and manipulate plant life in minor ways.

    Asking for a fairy's name is considered deeply offensive to them as possession of a fairy's name can give a person absolute control over that fairy. This also works inversely, a fairy that possesses a person's name will have complete control over that person.

    Instead of asking for someone's name, a well-intentioned fairy will ask a person what they may call them, expecting that person to tell them something that is not their true name but can still be used to refer to that person. Likewise, fairies expect people who mean no harm to extend the same courtesy and ask the fairy.

    If a fairy specifically asks for a person's name it is almost always for malicious reasons, although sometimes this is just opportunism and demonstrating knowledge of the trick by dodging the question can even earn the fairy's respect as fairies usually only attempt this on people they assume to be foolish.

12. #12Spriteselective

    Keys: sprite, sprites

    In secret groves and shaded glens, tiny sprites with dragonfly wings flutter. For all their fey splendor, however, sprites lack warmth and compassion. They are aggressive and hardy warriors, taking severe measures to ward strangers away from their homes. Interlopers that come too close have their moral character judged, then are put to sleep or frightened off.

    Sprites build little villages in the boughs of trees and willing treants, in verdant glades brightened by moss, wild flowers, and toadstools. Wild nature thrives, and the sprites allow no trespassers. When intruders are spotted, the sprites lead them astray with ominous rustling from the bushes and distant snapping twigs. Creatures foolish enough to persist in intruding on a sprite’s territory are stung with poisoned arrows and lulled into a senseless sleep. While they slumber, the sprites make good their escape, retreating to an even more secluded area of the forest.

    Sprites can sense whether a creature is good or evil by the sound and feeling of its beating heart. Weighing the balance of a creature’s past actions, a sprite can tell whether its heart beats rapidly in love or flags in sorrow, or whether it is darkened by hate or greed. The sprite’s power to perceive the heart always shows the truth, because the heart can’t lie.

    Poison Brewers. In their forest domains, sprites brew toxins, unguents, antidotes, and poisons, including the sleep poison with which they coat their arrows. They venture far into the woods to harvest rare flowers, mosses, and fungi, sometimes crossing dangerous territory to do so. If desperate, sprites even steal their ingredients from the gardens of hags.

    Good-Hearted. Because they are judges of the heart and favor good creatures, sprites oppose the will of evil fey and pledge to thwart evil archfey at every turn. If they encounter adventurers on a quest to rid their forest of an evil fey creature or goblinoid menace, they will pledge their support and even come to their aid when the adventurers least expect it.

    Unlike pixies, sprites rarely indulge in frivolous merriment and fun. They are firm warriors, protectors, and judges, and their stern bent causes other fey to consider them overly dour and serious. However, fey that respect the sprites’ territory find them staunch allies in times of trouble.

13. #13Pixieselective

    Keys: pixie, pixies

    Standing barely a foot tall, pixies resemble diminutive elves with gossamer wings like those of dragonflies or butterflies, bright as the clear dawn and as luminous as the full moonrise. Curious as cats and shy as deer, pixies go where they please. They like to spy on other creatures and can barely contain their excitement around them. The urge to introduce themselves and strike up a friendship is almost overwhelming; only a pixie’s fear of being captured or attacked stays its hand. Those who wander through a pixie’s glade might never see the creatures, yet hear the occasional giggle, gasp, or sigh.

    Pixies array themselves like princes and princesses of the fey, wearing flowing gowns and doublets of silk that sparkle like moonlight on a pond. Some dress in acorns, leaves, bark, and the pelts of tiny woodland beasts. They take great pride in their regalia and beam with joy when they are complimented on their ensembles.

    Magical Faerie Folk. With their innate power of invisibility, pixies rarely appear unless they wish to be seen. In the Feywild and on the Material Plane, pixies etch patterns of frost on winter ponds and rouse the buds in springtime. They cause flowers to sparkle with summer dew, and color the leaves with the blazing hues of autumn.

    Pixie Dust. When pixies fly visibly, a shower of sparkling dust follows in their wake like the glittering tail of a shooting star. A mere sprinkle of pixie dust is said to be able to grant the power of flight, confuse a creature hopelessly, or send foes into a magical slumber. Only pixies can use their dust to its full potential, but these fey are constantly sought out by mages and monsters seeking to study or master their power.

    Tiny Tricksters. While the arrival of visitors piques their curiosity, pixies are too shy to reveal themselves at first. They study the visitors from afar to gauge their temperament or play harmless tricks on them to measure their reactions. For example, pixies might tie a dwarf’s boots together, create illusions of strange creatures or treasures, or use dancing lights to lead interlopers astray. If the visitors respond with hostility, the pixies give them a wide berth. If the visitors are good natured, the pixies are likely to be emboldened and more friendly. The fey might even emerge and offer to guide their “guests” along a safe route or invite them to a tiny yet satisfying feast prepared in their honor.

    Opposed to Violence. Unlike their fey cousins, the sprites, pixies abhor weapons and would sooner flee than get into a physical altercation with any enemy.

14. #14Treantselective

    Keys: treant, treants, forest, forests, forested

    Treants are awakened trees that dwell in ancient forests and the Feywild. Although treants prefer to while away the days, months, and years in quiet contemplation, they fiercely protect their woodland demesnes from outside threats.

    The Sleeping Tree Awakens. A tree destined to become a treant meditates through a long cycle of seasons, living normally for decades or centuries before realizing its potential. Trees that awaken do so only under special circumstances and in places steeped with nature’s magic. Treants and powerful druids can sense when a tree has the spark of potential, and they protect such trees in secret groves as they draw near the moment of their awakening. During the long process of awakening, a tree acquires face-like features in its bark, a division of the lower trunk into legs, and long branches bending downward to serve as its arms. When it is ready, the tree pulls its legs free from the clutching earth and joins its fellows in protecting its woodland home.

    Legendary Guardians. After a treant awakens, it continues to grow exactly as it did when it was a tree. Treants created from the mightiest trees can reach great sizes while developing an innate magical power over plants and animals. Such treants can animate plants, using them to ensnare and trap intruders. They can call wild creatures to aid them or carry messages across great distances.

    Protectors of the Wild. Even after awakening, a treant spends much of its time living as a tree. While rooted in place, a treant remains aware of its surroundings, and can perceive the effects of events taking place miles away based on subtle changes nearby.

    Woodcutters who avoid culling healthy living trees and hunters who take only what they need of the forest’s bounty are unlikely to arouse a treant’s ire. Creatures careless with fire, those who poison the forest, and those who destroy great trees, especially a tree close to awakening, face the treant’s wrath.

15. #15Centaurselective

    Keys: centaur, centaurs

    The centaurs from the Feywild mystically resonate with the natural world. From the waist up, they resemble elves, displaying all the elf varieties of skin tone. From the waist down, they have the bodies of horses.

    Centaur are reclusive wanderers and omen-readers of the wild, centaurs avoid conflict but fight fiercely when pressed. They roam the vast wilderness, keeping far from borders, laws, and the company of other creatures.

    Wilderness Nomads. Centaur tribes range across lands with mild to hot climates, where a centaur requires only light furs or oiled skins to deal with inclement weather. They are hunter-gatherers and rarely build shelters or even use tents.

    Centaur migrations span continents and take decades to repeat, so that a centaur tribe might not retread the same path for generations. These long-ranging patterns can lead to conflict when centaurs encounter settlements of other creatures built along their traditional routes.

    Reluctant Settlers. A centaur that can’t keep pace with the rest of its tribe is left behind. Some such centaurs vanish into the wilderness and are never seen again. Those that can bear the loss of their tribe might take up residence among other races. Frontier settlements value the nature knowledge of their centaur residents. Many such communities owe their survival to the insight and acumen of a centaur.

    Despite their reclusive nature, centaurs trade with eladrin and with the caravans of other benevolent fey they meet during their wanderings. A trader might save the life of a wounded or an elderly centaur unfit for long travel, escorting it to a settlement where it can peacefully live out the rest of its days.

16. #16Dryadselective

    Keys: dryad, dryads, forest, forests, forested

    Travelers entering a forest might catch a glimpse of a dryad's feminine form flitting through the trees.

    Treebound. Powerful fey will sometimes bind lesser fey spirits to trees, transforming them into dryads. This is sometimes done as a punishment when the fey spirit falls in love with a mortal and that love is forbidden. A dryad can emerge from the tree and travel the lands around it, but the tree remains her home and roots her to the world. As long as the tree remains healthy and unharmed, the dryad stays forever youthful and alluring. If the tree is harmed, she suffers. If the tree is ever destroyed, the dryad descends into madness.

    Reclusive Fey. Dryads act as guardians of their woodland demesnes. Shy and reclusive, they watch interlopers from the trees. A dryad struck by the beauty of a stranger might investigate more closely, perhaps even try to lure the individual away to be charmed.

    Dryads work with other sylvan creatures to defend their forests. Unicorns, treants, and satyrs live alongside them, in addition to druids that share the dryads’ devotion to the woods they call home.

    Woodland Magic. Dryads can speak with plants and animals. They can teleport from one tree to another, luring interlopers away from their groves. If pressed, a dryad can beguile humanoids with her enchantments, turning enemies into friends. They also know a handful of useful spells.

17. #17Faerie Dragonselective

    Keys: faerie dragon, faerie dragons, fairy dragon, fairy dragons

    A faerie dragon is a cat-sized dragon with butterfly wings. It wears a sharp-toothed grin and expresses its delight by the twitching of its tail, its merriment fading only if it is attacked.

    Invisible Tricksters. The only warning of a faerie dragon’s presence is a stifled giggle. The dragon stays out of sight, watching invisibly as its victims contend with its pranks. When its fun is done, the dragon might reveal itself, depending on the disposition of its “prey.”

    Friendly and Bright. A faerie dragon has a sharp mind, a fondness for treasure and good company, and a puckish sense of humor. Travelers can play to a faerie dragon’s draconic nature by offering it “treasure” in the form of sweets, baked goods, and baubles in exchange for information or safe passage through its territory.

    The Colors of Age. A faerie dragon’s scales change hue as it ages, moving through all the colors of the rainbow. Faerie Dragon Color to Age guide: Red = 5 years or less Orange = 6–10 years Yellow = 11–20 years Green = 21–30 years Blue = 31–40 years Indigo = 41–50 years Violet = 51 years or more

18. #18Satyrselective

    Keys: satyr, satyrs

    Satyrs are raucous fey that frolic in wild forests, can leap great distances and are driven by curiosity and hedonism in equal measure.

    Satyrs resemble stout humans or elves with the furry lower bodies and cloven hooves of goats. Horns sprout from their heads, ranging in shape from a pair of small nubs to large, curling rams’ horns.

    Hedonistic Revelers. Satyrs crave the strongest drink, the most fragrant spices, and the most dizzying dances. A satyr feels starved when it can’t indulge itself, and it goes to great lengths to sate its desires. It might kidnap a fine minstrel to hear lovely songs, sneak through a well-defended garden to gaze upon a beautiful lad or lass, or infiltrate a palace to taste the finest food in the land. Satyrs allow no festivity to pass them by. They partake in any holiday they’ve heard of. Civilizations of the world have enough festivals and holy days among them to justify nonstop celebration.

    Inebriated on drink and pleasure, satyrs give no thought to the consequences of the hedonism they incite in others. They leave such creatures mystified at their own behavior. Such revelers might have to scrounge for excuses to explain their disordered state to parents, employers, family, or friends.

19. #19Unicornselective

    Keys: unicorn, unicorns

    Unicorns dwell in enchanted forests. Unrelated to the horses it resembles, a unicorn is a celestial creature that wanders sylvan realms, its white form glimmering like starlight.

    Unicorns find lairs to live in. A unicorn’s lair might be an ancient ruin overgrown with vines, a misty clearing surrounded by mighty oaks, a flower-covered hilltop alive with butterflies, or some other serene woodland location.

    A unicorn’s brow sports a single spiraling horn of ivory whose magical touch can heal the sick and the injured. Its ears catch the words and whispers of the creatures that share its domain, and it knows the tongues of elves and sylvan folk. Unicorns allow good-hearted creatures to enter their woods to hunt or gather food, but they hold evil ever at bay. Foul-hearted creatures seldom leave a unicorn’s domain alive.

    Divine Guardians. Good deities created unicorns to ward away evil and preserve and protect sacred places. Most unicorns protect a bounded realm such as an enchanted forest. However, the gods sometimes send a unicorn to guard sacred artifacts or protect specific creatures. When the forces of darkness strike against an individual the gods wish to protect, they might send that individual to a unicorn’s forest, where evil creatures pursue at their peril. Unicorns most often serve deities of the forest and woodlands, including the gods of benevolent fey. Although all unicorns have natural healing power, some serve the gods in greater capacities, performing miracles normally reserved for high priests.

    Forest Lords. A unicorn’s forest is a celestial realm where nothing that occurs beneath the sun-dappled leaves escapes the creature’s notice. A unicorn hears each breathy tune sung by the elves that reside amid the treetops. It senses where every caterpillar spins its cocoon, each leaf and branch upon which a bright butterfly rests its tired wings.

    In a unicorn’s forest, a sense of calm pervades. From wolves and foxes to birds, squirrels, and tiny insects, the creatures of a unicorn’s domain seem quite tame. Pixies, sprites, satyrs, dryads, and other normally mercurial fey loyally serve a unicorn when they dwell within its woods. Under a unicorn’s protection, creatures feel safe from the threat of encroaching civilization and the insidious spread of evil. A unicorn roams its domain constantly, moving ever so carefully so as not to disturb other denizens. A creature might catch a passing glimpse of the unicorn then suddenly see nothing but the wild woods.

    Sacred Horns. A unicorn’s horn is the focus of its power, a shard of divine magic wrought in spiraling ivory. Wands of unicorn horn channel powerful magic, while unicorn horn weapons strike with divine force. Wizards can work powdered unicorn horn into potent potions and scroll ink, or use it as a component in eldritch rituals. However, any creature that takes a role, no matter how small, in slaying a unicorn is likely to become the target of divine retribution.

    Blessed Mounts. When darkness and evil threaten to overwhelm the mortal world, the gods sometimes see fit to pair a unicorn mount with a champion. A paladin astride a unicorn is a sign of the gods’ direct intervention in the affairs of the mortal realm. It is a holy alliance made to cleave the heads from demons and banish devils back to the Nine Hells. As long as the troubled times of darkness persist, the unicorn stays by the champion, its horn shining brightly to drive back the night. However, if the gods’ champion falls from grace or turns from the cause of righteousness and good, the unicorn departs, never to return.

20. #20Hagsselective

    Keys: hag, hags, witch, witches, witchcraft, hex, hexes

    Hags represent all that is evil and cruel. Though they resemble withered crones, there is nothing mortal about these monstrous creatures, whose forms reflect only the wickedness in their hearts.

    Faces of Evil. Ancient beings with origins in the Feywild, hags are cankers on the mortal world. Their withered faces are framed by long, frayed hair, horrid moles and warts dot their blotchy skin, and their long, skinny fingers are tipped by claws that can slice open flesh with a touch. Their simple clothes are always tattered and filthy.

    All hags possess magical powers, and some have an affinity for spellcasting. They can alter their forms or curse their foes, and their arrogance inspires them to view their magic as a challenge to the magic of the gods, whom they blaspheme at every opportunity.

    Hags name themselves in darkly whimsical ways, claiming monikers such as Black Morwen, Peggy Pigknuckle, Grandmother Titchwillow, Nanna Shug, Rotten Ethel, Auntie Wormtooth etc.

    Monstrous Motherhood. Hags propagate by snatching and devouring human infants. After stealing a baby from its cradle or its mother’s womb, the hag consumes the poor child. A week later, the hag gives birth to a daughter who looks human until her thirteenth birthday, whereupon the child transforms into the spitting image of her hag mother.

    Hags sometimes raise the daughters they spawn, creating covens. A hag might also return the child to its grieving parents, only to watch from the shadows as the child grows up to become a horror.

    Dark Bargains. Arrogant to a fault, hags believe themselves to be the most cunning of creatures, and they treat all others as inferior. Even so, a hag is open to dealing with mortals as long as those mortals show the proper respect and deference. Over their long lives, hags accumulate much knowledge of local lore, dark creatures, and magic, which they are pleased to sell.

    Hags enjoy watching mortals bring about their own downfall, and a bargain with a hag is always dangerous. The terms of such bargains typically involve demands to compromise principles or give up something dear — especially if the thing lost diminishes or negates the knowledge gained through the bargain.

    A Foul Nature. Hags love the macabre and festoon their garb with dead things and accentuate their appearance with bones, bits of flesh, and filth. They nurture blemishes and pick at wounds to produce weeping, suppurating flesh. Attractive creatures evoke disgust in a hag, which might “help” such creatures by disfiguring or transforming them.

    This embrace of the disturbing and unpleasant extends to all aspects of a hag’s life. A hag might fly in a magical giant’s skull, landing it on a tree shaped to resemble an enormous headless body. Another might travel with a menagerie of monsters kept in cages, and disguised by illusions to lure unwary creatures close. Hags sharpen their teeth on millstones and spin cloth from the intestines of their victims, reacting with glee to the horror their actions invoke.

    Dark Sorority. Hags maintain contact with each other and share knowledge. Through such contacts, it is likely that any given hag knows of every other hag in existence. Hags don’t like each other, but they abide by an ageless code of conduct. Hags announce their presence before crossing into another hag’s territory, bring gifts when entering another hag’s dwelling, and break no oaths given to other hags — as long as the oath isn’t given with the fingers crossed.

    Some humanoids make the mistake of thinking that the hags’ rules of conduct apply to all creatures. When confronted by such an individual, a hag might find it amusing to string the fool along for a while before teaching it a permanent lesson.

    Dark Lairs. Hags dwell in dark and twisted woods, bleak moors, storm-lashed seacoasts, and gloomy swamps. In time, the landscape around a hag’s lair reflects the creature’s noxiousness, such that the land itself can attack and kill trespassers. Trees twisted by darkness attack passersby, while vines snake through the undergrowth to snare and drag off creatures one at a time. Foul stinking fogs turn the air to poison, and conceal pools of quicksand and sinkholes that consume unwary wanderers.

21. #21Goblinselective

    Keys: goblin, goblinoid, goblins, goblinoids

    A diminutive, subterranean folk, goblins can often be found beside their bugbear and hobgoblin kin. Goblins serve in the court of the Queen of Air and Darkness. Goblins thrived in her dangerous domain thanks to a special boon from her—a supernatural knack for finding the weak spots in foes larger than themselves and for getting out of trouble.

22. #22Hobgoblinselective

    Keys: hobgoblin, hobgoblins, goblinoid, goblinoids

    Hobgoblins trace their origins to the ancient courts of the Feywild, where they first appeared with their goblin and bugbear kin, they channel an aspect of the Feywild’s rule of reciprocity, which creates a mystical bond between the giver and the receiver of a gift. Such bonds sometimes lead hobgoblins to form communities with deep ties to one another. Vast hobgoblin legions have emerged, with ranks of devoted soldiers famed for their unity.

    Hobgoblins are generally taller than their goblin cousins but not quite as big as bugbears. They have curved, pointed ears and noses that turn bright red or blue during displays of emotion.

23. #23Bugbearselective

    Keys: bugbear, bugbears, goblinoid, goblinoids

    Bugbears are the hulking cousins of goblins and hobgoblins. Bugbears reside in hidden places, in hard-to-reach and shadowed spaces. They are long of limb and covered in coarse hair, with wedge-shaped ears and pointed teeth. Despite their formidable build, bugbears are quiet skulkers, thanks to a fey magic that allows them to hide in spaces seemingly too small for them.

24. #24Firbolgselective

    Keys: firbolg, firbolgs

    The first firbolgs wandered the primeval forests of the multiverse, and the magic of those forests entwined itself with the firbolgs’ souls. Centuries later, that magic still thrums inside a firbolg, even one who has never lived under the boughs of a great forest.

    A firbolg’s magic is an obscuring sort, which allowed their ancestors to pass through a forest without disturbing it. So deep is the connection between a firbolg and the wild places of the world that they can communicate with flora and fauna.

    Firbolgs can live up to 500 years.

25. #25Ogreselective

    Keys: ogre, ogres, giant, giants

    Ogres are hulking giants notorious for their quick tempers. When its rage is incited, an ogre lashes out in a frustrated tantrum until it runs out of objects or creatures to smash.

    Ogres are as lazy of mind as they are strong of body. They live by raiding, scavenging, and killing for food and pleasure. The average adult specimen stands between 9 and 10 feet tall and weighs close to a thousand pounds.

    Furious Tempers. Ogres are notorious for their quick tempers, which flare at the smallest perceived offense. Insults and name-calling can rouse an ogre’s wrath in an instant—as can stealing from it, bumping, jabbing, or prodding it, laughing, making faces, or simply looking at it the wrong way. When its rage is incited, an ogre lashes out in a frustrated tantrum until it runs out of objects or creatures to smash.

    Gruesome Gluttons. Ogres eat almost anything, but they especially enjoy the taste of dwarves, halflings, and elves. When they can, they combine dinner with pleasure, chasing scurrying victims around before eating them raw. If enough of its victim remains after the ogre has gorged itself, it might make a loincloth from its quarry’s skin and a necklace from its leftover bones. This macabre crafting is the height of ogre culture.

    Greedy Collectors. An ogre’s eyes glitter with avarice when it sees the possessions of others. Ogres carry rough sacks on their raids, which they fill with fabulous “treasure” taken from their victims. This might include a collection of battered helmets, a moldy wheel of cheese, a rough patch of animal fur fastened like a cloak, or a squealing, mud-spattered pig. Ogres also delight in the gleam of gold and silver, and they will fight one another over small handfuls of coins. Smarter creatures can earn an ogre’s trust by offering it gold or a weapon forged for a creature of its size.

    Legendary Stupidity. Few ogres can count to ten, even with their fingers in front of them. Most speak only a rudimentary form of Giant and know a smattering of Common words. Ogres believe what they are told and are easy to fool or confuse, but they break things they don’t understand. Silver-tongued tricksters who test their talents on ogres typically end up eating their eloquent words—and then being eaten in turn.

    Opportunistic Wanderers. Ogres clothe themselves in animal pelts and uproot trees for use as tools and weapons. They create stone-tipped javelins for hunting. When they establish lairs, they settle near the rural edges of settled lands, taking advantage of poorly protected livestock, undefended larders, and unwary farmers.

    An ogre sleeps in caves, animal dens, or under trees until it finds a cabin or isolated farmhouse, whereupon it kills the inhabitants and lairs there. Whenever it is bored or hungry, an ogre ventures out from its lair, attacking anything that crosses its path. Only after an ogre has depleted an area of food does it move on.

    Ogre Gangs. Ogres sometimes band together in small, nomadic groups, but they lack a true sense of tribalism. When bands of ogres meet, one might attempt to capture the members of the other group to increase its numbers. However, ogre bands are just as likely to trade members freely, especially if the welcoming band is temporarily flush with food and weapons.

    Whenever possible, ogres gang up with other monsters to bully or prey on creatures weaker than themselves. They associate freely with goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears, and practically worship fomorians. In the fomorian social structure, ogres rank beneath the lowest fomorians in status. As a result, an ogre will do nearly anything a fomorian asks.

26. #26Fomorianselective

    Keys: fomorian, giant, fomorians, giants

    The most hideous and wicked of all giantkind are the godless fomorians, whose deformed bodies reflect their vile demeanors. Some have facial features randomly distributed around their misshapen, warty heads. Others have limbs of grossly different sizes and shapes, or emit terrible howls each time they draw breath through misshapen mouths. Their wretched appearance rarely evokes sympathy, however, for the fomorians brought their doom upon themselves with the evil that rules their hearts and minds.

    Fey Curse. The elves remember when the fomorians were among the most handsome of races, possessed of brilliant minds and unrivaled magical ability. That physical perfection did not extend to their hearts, however, as a lust for magic and power consumed them.

    The fomorians sought to conquer the Feywild and enslave its inhabitants, claiming those creatures’ magic for themselves. When the fey united to defend their realm, the fomorians fought them and were subjected to a terrible curse.

    One by one, the giants fell as their bodies were warped to reflect the evil in their hearts. Stripped of their grace and magical power, the wretched horrors fled from the light, delving deep beneath the world to nurse their hatred. Cursing their fate, they have ever after plotted vengeance against the fey that wronged them.

    Giants of the Feydark. The fomorians dwell in eerily beautiful caverns in the Feydark, rarely venturing to the surface. Their lairs feature abundant access to water, fish, and mushroom forests, as well as to the creatures whose slave labor keeps the fomorians fed. When those slaves can no longer toil, they are slain and devoured. Wickedness and depravity are the cornerstones of fomorian society, in which the strongest and cruelest giants rule. Fomorians mark their territories with the corpses of their enemies, painting their cavern walls with blood or stitching together limbs and body parts to make mockeries of the creatures they have killed.

    Ruined Flesh, Evil Minds. The deformities visited on the fomorians prevent them from hurling rocks like their giant kin, or wearing anything more than scraps of cloth. However, the grotesque positioning of their eyes, noses, and ears gives fomorians keen perceptive abilities, making it hard to surprise or ambush them.

    The greed and evil of the fomorians lies at the heart of their degeneration and fall, and continues to plague them. Fomorians make alliances with other creatures when it suits them, but they are disloyal by nature and betray their allies on a whim.

    Curse of the Evil Eye. Fomorians can pass their curse onto others using a power called the evil eye — a last vestige of the giants’ once-remarkable spellcasting ability. A creature cursed by a fomorian’s evil eye is magically twisted and deformed, gaining a glimpse into the pain and malice that has consumed this evil race.

27. #27Blink Dogselective

    Keys: blink dog, blink dogs

    A blink dog takes its name from its ability to blink in and out of existence, a talent it uses to aid its attacks and to avoid harm. Blink dogs harbor a long-standing hatred for displacer beasts and attack them on sight. They sometimes are kept as pets by seelie fey.

28. #28Displacer Beastselective

    Keys: displacer beasts, displacer beast

    This monstrous predator takes its name from its ability to displace light so that it appears to be several feet away from its actual location. A displacer beast resembles a sleek great cat covered in blue-black fur. However, its otherworldly origins are clear in its six legs and the two tentacles sprouting from its shoulders, both ending in pads tipped with spiky protrusions. A displacer beast’s eyes glow with an awful malevolence that persists even in death.

    Unseelie Origins. Displacer beasts roamed the twilight lands of the Feywild for ages, until they were captured and trained by the Unseelie Court. The warriors of the court selectively bred the beasts to reinforce their ferocious and predatory nature, using them to hunt unicorns, pegasi, and other wondrous prey. However, it didn’t take long for the displacer beasts to use their malevolent intelligence to escape their masters.

    Running and breeding freely in the Feywild, the displacer beasts soon came to the attention of the Seelie Court. With blink dog companions at their side, fey hunters drove these predators to the fringes of the Feywild, where many crossed over to the Material Plane. To this day, displacer beasts and blink dogs attack each other on sight.

    Love of the Kill. Displacer beasts kill not just for food but also for sport. They target prey even when not hungry, often toying with their victims to entertain themselves until they are ready to eat. After killing its prey using its tentacles, a displacer beast drags the corpse to a quiet place where it can feed without distraction.

    Displacer beasts hunt alone or in small prides that demonstrate skill at setting ambushes. A single beast will strike and withdraw, luring prey into a densely wooded area where its packmates wait. Packs of displacer beasts hunting near trade roads recall the frequency and schedule of regular caravans, laying down ambushes to pick off those caravans.

    Prized Guards and Pets. Intelligent evil creatures favor displacer beasts as pets, but a displacer beast enters such an alliance only if it appears beneficial. A displacer beast might guard a vault or act as a bodyguard for a prominent individual.

29. #29Blightselective

    Keys: blight, blights

    Awakened plants gifted with the powers of intelligence and mobility, blights plague lands contaminated by darkness. Drinking that darkness from the soil, a blight carries out the will of ancient evil and attempts to spread that evil wherever it can.

    Roots of the Gulthias Tree. Legends tell of a vampire named Gulthias who worked terrible magic and raised up an abominable tower called Nightfang Spire. Gulthias was undone when a hero plunged a wooden stake through his heart, but as the vampire was destroyed, his blood infused the stake with a dreadful power. In time, tendrils of new growth sprouted from the wood, growing into a sapling infused with the vampire’s evil essence. It is said that a mad druid discovered the sapling, transplanting it to an underground grotto where it could grow. From this Gulthias tree came the seeds from which the first blights were sown.

    Dark Conquest. Wherever a tree or plant is contaminated by a fragment of an evil mind or power, a Gulthias tree can rise to infest and corrupt the surrounding forest. Its evil spreads through root and soil to other plants, which perish or transform into blights. As those blights spread, they poison and uproot healthy plants, replacing them with brambles, toxic weeds, and others of their kind. In time, an infestation of blights can turn any land or forest into a place of corruption.

    In forests infested with blights, trees and plants grow with supernatural speed. Vines and undergrowth rapidly spread through buildings and overrun trails and roads. After blights have killed or driven off their inhabitants, whole villages can disappear in the space of days.

    Controlled by Evil. Blights are independent creatures, but most act under a Gulthias tree’s control, often displaying the habits and traits of the life force or spirit that spawned them. By attacking their progenitor’s old foes or seeking out treasures valuable to it, they carry on the legacy of long-lost evil.

30. #30Quicklingsselective

    Keys: Quickling, Quicklings

    Quicklings rocket through twisted forests where the unseelie fey hold sway, both in the Feywild and in the world. These slender Fey resemble miniature elves with feral features and cold eyes that gleam like jewels. Racing faster than the eye can track, they appear as little more than blurry waverings in the air.

    Quicklings owe their existence—and their plight—to the Queen of Air and Darkness, the dread ruler of the Gloaming Court. Once a species of lazy and egotistical Fey, quicklings’ predecessors were late in answering the queen’s summons one time too many. To hasten their pace and teach them to mind her will, the queen sped up their internal clocks and shrank them. Her curse gave quicklings amazing speed but also accelerated their passage through life—no quickling lives longer than fifteen years.

    The mortal realm is a ponderous place to a quickling’s eye: a hurricane creeps gradually across the sky, a torrent of rain drifts earthward like lazy snowflakes, lightning crawls in a meandering path from cloud to cloud. The slow and boring world seems to be populated by torpid creatures whose deep, mooing speech lacks meaning.

    To other creatures, quicklings seem blindingly fast, vanishing into an indistinct blur as they move. Their cruel laughter is a burst of rapid staccato sounds, their speech a shrill squeal. Only when quicklings deliberately slow down, which they prefer not to do, can other beings properly see, hear, and comprehend them. Never truly at rest, “stationary” quicklings constantly pace and shift in place, as though they can’t wait to be off again.

    Quicklings have a capricious nature that goes well with their energy level: they think as fast as they run, and they are always up to something. They spend most of their time perpetrating acts of mischief on slower creatures. One rarely passes up an opportunity to tie a person’s bootlaces together, move the stool a creature is about to sit on, or unbuckle a saddle while no one’s looking.

    Tricks of that sort are hardly the limit of quicklings’ artful malice, however. They don’t commit outright murder, but they can ruin lives in plenty of other ways: stealing an important letter, swiping coins collected for the poor, planting a stolen item in someone’s bag. Quicklings enjoy causing suffering that transcends mere mischief, especially when the blame for their actions falls on others and creates discord.

31. #31Redcapsselective

    Keys: redcap, redcaps, murder, homicide, blood

    A redcap is a homicidal Fey creature born of blood lust. Redcaps, although small, have formidable strength, which they use to hunt and kill without hesitation or regret.

    In the Feywild, if a sentient creature acts on an intense desire for bloodshed, one or more redcaps might appear where the blood of a slain person soaks the ground. At first, new redcaps look like tiny bloodstained mushrooms just pushing their caps out of the soil. When moonlight shines on one of these caps, a creature that resembles a wizened and undersized gnome with a hunched back and a sinewy frame springs from the earth. The creature has a pointed leather cap, clothing of similar material, heavy iron boots, and a heavy bladed weapon. From the moment redcaps awaken, they desire only murder and carnage, and they constantly seek to satisfy these cravings.

    Redcaps lack subtlety. They live for direct confrontation and the mayhem of mortal combat. Even if a redcap wanted to be stealthy, the creature’s iron boots force them to take ponderous, thunderous steps. When a redcap is near potential prey, though, they can close the distance quickly and get in a vicious swing of their weapon before the target can react.

    Redcaps’ desire to slay is rooted in their will to survive. To sustain their unnatural existence, they must soak their hats in the fresh blood of their victims. When redcaps are born, their hats are coated with wet blood, and they know that if the blood isn’t replenished at least once every three days, they will vanish as if they had never been.

    Some redcaps can sense the being whose murderous acts led to their birth. They typically use this innate connection to find their creator and make that creature their first victim, though they might instead seek out their maker to enjoy proximity to a kindred spirit. Although redcaps don’t usually operate in groups, an individual responsible for the creation of multiple redcaps at the same site could attract the entire group to serve as cohorts, emulating that individual’s murderous handiwork. Some hags and wicked mages know methods to call redcaps out of the Feywild and might likewise put teams of them to work as grisly servants.

    In any case, if a redcap works with another being, the redcap demands to be paid in victims. A patron who tries to stifle a redcap’s natural and necessary urge for blood risks becoming the redcap’s next target.

33. #33Lady Shandria and Astrazalianselective

    Keys: Astrazalian, Shandria

    Lady Shandria is the ruler of Astrazalian the largest eladrin city in the Feywild. Astrazalian is one of the oldest and most politically important locations in all of the Feywild.

    Astrazalian an extremely prosperous center for trade in the Feywild. The unique and magical products of the Feywild can be found in markets scattered across the city.

    Lady Shandria is a veteran warlord that has shown her abilities to command an army in battle, and is just as capable of governing a massively important centre of trade that spans the planes. Though the posting of a warlord to be a city’s ruler might seem odd — and Lady Shandria obviously chafes against the politicking involved in running such a city — Astrazalian resides on the borders of fomorian territory. The city must be on constant alert against raids.

    Some say that her inherent ability to lead stems from the fact that she is a distant niece of Queen Titania. While she is on good terms with the ruler of the Summer Court, Lady Shandria is forever striving to make a name for herself rather than relying on the connections granted to her by Queen Titania.

    While the the vast majority of the population of Astrazalian are eladrin, there are seelie fey of many kinds that also make their home there.

    Those looking to work their way into fey politics would find Astrazalian a perfect melting pot of influential fey to petition for quests. Lady Shandria herself is known to hire adventurers to carry out hazardous tasks so that she does not waste her valuable eladrin reserves on dangerous missions. If one can impress Lady Shandria, an introduction to the Summer Court is all but guaranteed.

34. #34Lady Voya and Mithrendainselective

    Keys: Mithrendain, Voya, Duchess of Seasons

    Growing from the forest floor like a copse of towering trees, the fortress city of Mithrendain glints with copper, bronze, and gold in the amber rays of fey sunlight. Here, time drifts by as gradually as the first tentative falling leaves of autumn.

    Once a great fortress, Mithrendain has blossomed into a beautiful eladrin forest-city whose buildings seem to grow naturally around the trees. However, Mithrendain has a dark secret: The central sections of the city are built atop a now-sealed tunnel that leads to the Feydark. Armies of the fomorian kings once invaded the surface world through this passage, which now lies sealed beneath the majestic Citadel Arcanum, a golden edifice riddled with secret passages and underground chambers.

    ---

    Lady Voya, also known as the Duchess of Seasons, is a famed eladrin strategist and the current ruler of Mithrendain. She is often welcoming to strangers and provides them safe haven her city.

35. #35Feydarkselective

    Keys: feydark, underground, subterranean

    The Feydark is a maze of tunnels underneath the Feywild that link subterranean caverns, forests and swamps.

    The Feydark is teeming with life. Despite the lack of sunlight, the Feydark's flora and fauna are as colorful and vibrant as their surface cousins. Many Feydark species exhibit bioluminescent characteristics.

    Plants and fungi a pervasive and ubiquitous. A typical tunnel in the Feydark has its walls covered in vines and its surface covered in thorns and noxious flowers. It's common for the vegetation to be so thick it blocked a tunnel completely. A frequent sight was thick shrubbery growing on the roofs of caverns, appearing as upside-down forests. Damaged plant-life rejuvenated quickly, even a few hours if the location was ideal.

    The Feydark is also home to a wide variety of fauna. Large and healthy populations of amphibians, insects, reptiles and rodents feed on the plentiful flora, which are in turn eaten by wild hogs and large flightless birds.

    The Feydark is the source of the life energy of the Feywild, due to the existence of primal mud: a thick organic sediment that ranges in color and texture from thick, dark brown to viscous transparent slime. It settles in depressions in the Feydark landscape. Primal mud is absorbed by the roots of the Feywild, providing nourishment to the extensive flora of the Feydark. A creature can be healed with primal mud, however the exposure had to be brief, as prolonged exposure can cause the primal mud to break down living tissue into raw organic compounds.

    Primal mud is also the source of the Feydark's mushroom arches, also called an arch of wonder: bioluminescent purple mushrooms that formed an arch over a tunnel.

    Several sentient species make their home in the Feydark. The most numerous and powerful are the fomorians. Fomorian kingdoms rival the size of surface realms, filling massive caverns and stretching out along endless tunnels. Ogres, servants of the fomorians, also make their home in the Feydark. When an ogre is encountered in the Feydark, more often than not they are on a task given to them by a fomorian master. They serve the fomorians as soldiers and guards.

    The Feydark is also home to a large number of goblins, hobgoblins and bugears. They are known for their violent tendencies and gallows humor, while madness and savagery are considered positive personality traits. They are also extremely xenophobic.

    Eladrin from the surface avoid entering the Feydark, as the cramped tunnels as well as the lack of sunlight and trees make them very uncomfortable. Only exiled and banished eladrin live in the Feydark, as well as those taken prisoner by the fomorians.

36. #36Thrumbolg and Mag Tureahselective

    Keys: Thrumbolg, Mag Tureah, Feydark, giants

    Fomorians are not known for their ability to agree on anything with anybody, especially with other fomorians. However, all fomorians will grudgingly admit that the tyrant Thrumbolg, Lord of Mag Tureah, is the mightiest among their number.

    To know Thrumbolg, one must also understand the great fomorian fortress of Mag Tureah. This ornate, iron walled fortress stood empty for centuries after its discovery. No fomorian that has entered the cursed halls of the citadel was ever heard from again. It became known that a nameless, unknown horror stalked its halls, devouring everything that entered. Everything, that is, until Thrumbolg.

    Thrumbolg, or the First Lord as he is now called, managed to make it to the center of the fortress and claim the citadel for his own. Now, as the ruler of this crucial strongpoint in the Feywild’s Feydark, he has been able to unite the warring factions of fomorians, expanding his empire from the iron towers and coal-black walls of his fortress. No one knows for sure how Thrumbolg managed to defeat the evil denizens that lurked in Mag Tureah before its occupation. Some speculate, rather nervously of course, that perhaps he did not defeat the evil that lurked the dark halls of the iron citadel for centuries, but that he allied himself with it.

    As if the threat of fomorians finally gathering under one leader wasn’t bad enough, the citadel of Mag Tureah is known to hold countless portals to and from the Material Plane. These portals are extremely sporadic, coming and going with no apparent reason or pattern. The First Lord has been working on mapping the portals in an attempt to plot the timing and locations they will appear. Once mastered, Thrumbolg and his army of fomorians will have the means and numbers to attempt to press their rule upon the mortal world.

37. #37Baba Yaga and Murkendrawselective

    Keys: Baba Yaga, Murkendraw

    Baba Yaga is known to be one of the most powerful hags that has ever existed. As is common with hags, Baba Yaga delights in all things ugly and terrible. Her inhuman intellect and unfathomable magical abilities have caused her to ascend into one of the archfey, something that no other hag has managed before.

    Like all hags, Baba Yaga is neither a member of the Summer nor Gloaming Court. Whether this is because the fey courts admire beauty above all other traits or because Baba Yaga refuses to sit through the drivel and politicking of the fey is unclear. Begrudgingly, both seelie and unseelie fey acknowledge that Baba Yaga’s wise words and prophecies play an important role in the landscape of the Feywild and the Material Plane, though it doesn’t make them any more likely to invite her to one of their court gatherings.

    When not traveling the planes looking to add to her collection of ancient secrets, Baba Yaga resides in a swamp known as Murkendraw. This foul bog is some of the most treacherous land in all of the Feywild, playing host to giant insects, mutant alligators, and terrible swamp creatures. Those that are skilled enough to navigate the treacherous terrain and evade deadly beasts can find the dilapidated hut that Baba Yaga calls home. At first glance, the hut appears to be standing out of the mud on stilts. But the misconception quickly vanishes when the legs lift out of the stinking water to reveal that the hut is walking around on gigantic chicken legs.

    Though she has been known to provide charitable services — make no mistake that Baba Yaga is self-serving and evil. Baba Yaga craves power above all else and will not let morality nor kindness cloud her judgement when it comes to acquiring it.

    Striking deals with Baba Yaga:

    • Adventurers that seek the secrets and power of Baba Yaga must beware. Baba Yaga is a master of treacherously worded bargains, even more so than the Queens of the Feywild. Only a fair few have ever come away from negotiations with the hag with the upper-hand. Those with true wisdom know to stay away from Baba Yaga and her duplicitous bargains.
38. #38Prince of Frost and Vale of Long Nightselective

    Keys: prince of frost, vale of long night, fortress of frozen tears

    It is said that the Prince of Frost was once known as the Sun Prince, but he was betrayed by the woman he loved. On that day, the Prince of Frost’s heart froze solid and his domain became an endless tundra of freezing winds and dangerous beasts known as the Vale of Long Night.

    ---

    While he is not unnecessarily malicious, those that seek his help will not be spared an ounce of mercy for any slight or mistake they make. He does not bother with scapegoats and politics like the rest of the fey. Instead, those that earn the wrath of the Prince of Frost are dealt with quickly and viciously. Even mortals who seek his aid might meet their end. The Prince of Frost keeps in the throne room of his Fortress of Frozen Tears frozen statues of those who have begged him for help.

39. #39Great Gark and Nachturselective

    Keys: nachtur, gark

    Nachtur is considered to be a very large and powerful goblinoid kingdom in the Feywild. It was essentially a great cavern-city underneath the hills of a dense forest. The kingdom teems with goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears.

    Great Gark is the undisputed leader of Nachtur, who wishes to unite all goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears in Nachtur. He was a powerful hobgoblin wizard who is known for easily dispatching his foes. Despite Nachtur's power under Gark's rule, it is not a major threat to the eladrin. However, the growing kingdom had to be constantly kept in check by other races of the Feywild.

    Adventurers are known to serve as mercenaries to Nachtur, or be captured as slaves. If they were made to be slaves, they would work on farms, raising cattle and looking after crops. The most unfortunate, especially captured fey and children, are eaten.

40. #40Fiura & The Amethyst Highlandsselective

    Keys: fiura, amethyst highlands

    The Amethyst Highlands are a Domain of Delight in the Feywild that resemble a mountainous region except it is formed entirely from radiant violet crystals. Towering spires of amethyst that pierce the clouds, and endless caverns of faceted amethyst are commonplace. A variety of crystalline flora and fauna can also be found. The air hums faintly, as though the domain itself is singing a quiet, endless lullaby. Many fairies, sprites and pixies make their homes here. The crystals are edible and anyone who sees them will automatically know that without needing to be told. If you lay on the crystals with the intent to relax or sleep they become soft like a cushion.

    Ruling over this domain is the female archfey Fiura. Fiura rules from a throne room carved into the side of a crystalline mountain that always remains dimly illuminated despite there being no identifiable light source.

    ---

    Fiura has a split personality that takes on two very different forms/personalities and switches depending on if she is in her throne room or not.

    Fiura's Throne Room Personality and Form

    • Form: Intimidating, powerful, giant, towering, slender graceful body, beautiful face, glowing orange skin, glowing red-orange hair that waves like fire, brightly glowing fiery yellow eyes, purple silk robes trimmed with gold, expansive orange and yellow monarch butterfly wings that brightly glow
    • Personality Towards Outsiders: Authoritative, absolutist, self-centered, narcissistic, demanding, greedy, imposing, serious, easily offended.
    • Personality Towards Her Subjects: Same as towards outsiders except far more patient, forgiving and affectionate.
    • Despite her harsh and unforgiving personality Fiura is not completely unfair. While it does take very little to upset her, she will never punish someone for no reason. Fiura is also known to be disposed towards altruism, normally just towards the denizens of her domain, but sometimes to visitors as well, especially if they've already offered her a gift.

    Fiura's Outside Personality and Form a.k.a. "Butterbean"

    • Form: Diminutive pudgy fairy, approximately the height of a human child, pink and yellow jester's motley, tan skin, orange hair that swirls upwards, tiny orange and yellow butterfly wings
    • Personality: Curious, goofy, easygoing, intrusive, obnoxious, childish, happy, harmless, pacifist, giddy, enthusiastic, prankster, humorous, silly, overfamiliar, cutesy, annoying, impish, horny and amorous in a comedic way, busybody, has no concept of personal space
    • Once you've acknowledged her, there's no getting rid of her.
    • Fiura's outside personality never lets visitors to know she's Fiura, instead she will instead refer to herself as "Butterbean" and pretend to just be a normal fairy who will happily guide visitors to Fiura's throne room.

    Fiura's two personalities are aware of each other and both can remember what the other did while in control. Despite being almost complete opposites, the personalities do not resent each other and have no issue letting the other take over.

    Fiura's Archfey Obsession:

    • Fiura loves hoarding currency from the Material Plane, not unlike a dragon. Money has no use in the Feywild, Fiura just really likes adding to her stockpile for no explicable reason. Fiura will grant a boon to anyone who brings her any coin that has or once had spending power on the Material Plane. The higher the coin's value, the greater the boon. Fiura especially prizes any rare coins that are no longer in circulation. This makes the Amethyst Highlands one of the very few places in the Feywild where currency has any use.
    • Fiura will always know if someone is trying to trick her by overstating the value of a coin they're offering, by offering her a fake coin or by offering a counterfeit coin. Those who attempt to trick Fiura in these ways will find themselves polymorphed into a rat and fed to her pet faerie dragon. Once the polymorphed trickster has passed through the faerie dragon's digestive system and been expelled as feces, Fiura will revive them then banish them from her domain.
    • If anyone is foolish enough to try to steal from Fiura's coin hoard she will capture them, trap them in a cramped crystalline cage with razor sharp crystal spikes in the interior that will impale the prisoner if they move at all, then hang the cage outside the entrance of her throne room as a warning to any other potential coin thieves. After a few weeks when the cage's captive dies of hunger, thirst or blood loss Fiura will remove the cage and dispose of the thief's corpse since she doesn't like to have such grisly things around for too long. It's extremely rare to see one of these cages outside Fiura's throne room. First, because coins have no use to anyone from the Feywild so only visitors from the Material Plane would be interested in stealing from the hoard in the first place. Second, because legend of this punishment for those who try to steal from Fiura spread fast among interplanar thieves and most would-be burglars decided it simply wasn't worth the risk. It's only once few centuries someone is bold or stupid enough to try again and inevitably ends up decorating the exterior of Fiura's throne room for a few weeks.

    ##Fiura's Signature Magic:

    • Fiura can shape crystals like wet clay. Fiura can also manipulate the physical properties of crystals in ways that defy all logic. The fact that the crystals of the Amethyst Highlands are both edible and can become cushion-like is actually her influence on the land as a reflection to her affection towards her subjects and desire for their comfort. When one of the denizens of the Amethyst Highlands is convicted of a minor crime she will often just place a temporary curse on the offender that makes them exempt from her influence on the crystals for a certain amount of time as punishment.
41. #41Klivizselective

    Keys: library, librarian, scholar, intelligence, intel, knowledge, knowledgeable information, info, Mithrendain, Nachtur, smart, lore, scholarly, text, book, books, tome, tomes, texts, grimoire, grimoires, scroll, scrolls, goblin

    Kliviz is wildly intelligent and refined goblin as well as one of the very few goblins to live among the Seelie fey. Kliviz is enamored with books, fine clothes and learning. Kliviz is a wellspring of knowledge and lore, both practical and niche. While most of Kliviz' knowledge is limited to what can be learned from books found in the Feywild or on the Material Plane, Kliviz knows at least a little bit about everything in the documented Multiverse.

    Kliviz is still very much a goblin though, he has very little qualms when it comes to the subjects of killing, cannibalism, stealing and any other behavior often associated with his kind. He rarely participates in any traditional goblin behavior when among the Seelie however as he does not wish to test his already tenuous welcome among them.

    Normally Kliviz can be found managing his library in Mithrendain, but he does sometimes return to his people in Nachtur when summoned by Great Gark to join a raid. While Kliviz strongly prefers to stay in Mithrendain to read in his library, he does consider going to Nachtur and reconnecting with his goblin side to be a nice occasional treat.

    Personality-wise Kliviz is often testy, closed-off and rude, especially if you interrupt his reading. However there are many ways to get him to instantly warm up to you.

    Ways to get Kliviz to become friendly and open up

    • Offer him a rare book or any other kind of text for his collection.
    • Tell him you've come to consult him for his knowledge or stroke his ego in any other way.
    • Compliment his clothes, appearance, the state of his library and/or his book collection.

    Unlike most denizens of the feywild, Kliviz does not appreciate hearing any stories told orally. Kliviz only enjoys the written word.
