The Feywild
General Feywild lore and rules
The Feywild — Overview
The Feywild
Type: Parallel Plane of Existence
Description
The Feywild is a plane of boundless magic and untamed emotion that exists parallel to the Material Plane. It is a land of extreme beauty and extreme danger, where the forests are deeper, the colors more vivid, and feelings more intense.
Key Characteristics
- Emotions are amplified — joy becomes euphoria, sorrow becomes despair
- Time flows differently — hours in the Feywild can be days, weeks, or years on the Material Plane
- Promises are binding — words carry magical weight; oaths and deals are supernaturally enforced
- Names have power — giving your true name to a fey creature gives them influence over you
- Nature is wild — the landscape shifts with the moods of its inhabitants
Rules for the Party
- Never give your true name freely — use nicknames or titles
- Never accept a gift without understanding the cost — fey gifts always come with strings
- Keep your promises — breaking an oath in the Feywild has real consequences
- Be polite — rudeness offends the fey deeply and can have dangerous results
Prismeer
Prismeer
Type: Feywild Domain — Splintered
Original Ruler: Zybilna (Archfey)
Current Rulers: The Hourglass Coven
Description
Prismeer was once a beautiful and prosperous Feywild domain ruled by the archfey Zybilna. It has been split into three realms — Hither, Thither, and Yon — each controlled by one of the three hags of the Hourglass Coven, who overthrew Zybilna and froze her in time.
The Three Splinter-Realms
| Realm | Ruler | Terrain |
|---|---|---|
| Hither | Bavlorna Blightstraw | Flooded swampland |
| Thither | Skabatha Nightshade | Dark, twisted forest |
| Yon | Endelyn Moongrave | Stormy mountains |
The Palace of Heart's Desire
At the center of Prismeer stands Zybilna's palace, where the archfey remains frozen in time. The party's ultimate goal is to reach this palace and free her.
