The Plane of Faerie is a mysterious place, filled with wonders beyond imagining. This guide seeks to
inspire dungeon masters who wish to send their party into this realm of wonder. It gives a
comprehensive framework for the rules and laws that govern the Feywild, as well as ideas for specific
locations, encounters, items, quests, and so on. You won’t find adventures or detailed descriptions
within this document, but you will find advice and inspiration on how to create these adventures,
settings, and characters yourself.

Includes:
tables with locations, fey crossings, time changes, weather effects, random encounters,
and even a 100-option Wild Magic table.

The Rules of the Feywild
The fundamental rules of the Feywild are unlike
those of the Material Plane. The laws of nature aren’t
quite as fundamental in the Feywild, and what would
be man-made laws in the Material Plane are often far
more fundamental. This chapter aims to give an
overview of the bizarre rules that govern the Feywild
and what impact they have on its inhabitants.
Emotion Shapes All
Nothing within the Feywild is real unless someone
feels it should be. That rule should be the guiding
principle within the entirety of the Feywild.
Everything in the Feywild is either shaped or heavily
affected by the surrounding emotions. The ground,
the plants, the light, the weather, everything is the
way it is because of emotion.
The more people are around, the less impactful
individual emotions become. Conflicting emotions
tend to balance out, and the area tends to converge
towards a specific dominant emotion. Areas in the
Feywild can therefore still be identified (though not
necessarily mapped),
Persuasion is Power
If emotions shape the world, logically the player
characters should be able to use their emotions to
change it as well. Given enough persuasion, it should
be possible to bend a tree to their will or to shape a
mountain so it lets them pass.
Don't be afraid to let your PCs try and shape the
world around them. Consider it a reward for having
figured out the inner workings of the Feywild. Though
be sure to set the DC high enough. The party will not
have the experience of a Feywild native to truly bend
the world to one's will. A DC 15 Charisma
(Persuasion) check for minor effects, a DC 20 check
for bigger changes, and a DC 25 check for truly
impressive changes should do the trick.
To help the PCs learn the power of emotion, make
sure to have the party’s emotions cause unintended
effects as well. If a PC becomes angry, tell them a
storm starts brewing or the ground starts shaking. If
a PC is noticeably happy, have the clouds part and
flowers bloom around them. Don’t let emotions just
happen, but make them part of the world.
Time is an Illusion
Not just space is shaped by emotions, but time as
well. ‘Time flies when you’re having fun” isn’t just a
figure of speech within the Feywild, but an accurate
description of reality. How you’re feeling determines
how fast time is moving around you. If you’re having
fun, time around you is going to move a lot faster
than if you’re depressed. This is why you usually
won't find clocks or other timekeeping devices in the
Feywild.
When dealing with spells or magical effects which
have a set duration, that time refers to the internal
time of the caster. If a spell lasts for 8 hours, it will
end when the caster feels like 8 hours have passed.
Like with space, time also converges as more
entities are involved. This means that within cities
time tends to move at a pretty constant rate. Time in
a more joyful city will however still move faster than
in a sombre city.
For instructions on how to use time when
travelling to and from the Feywild, as well as a
concrete way of converting time when travelling
between regions, see the Time Warp section.
No absolutes
Nothing in the Feywild is real unless someone feels it
is. There are no absolute laws of motion, no
mathematical absolutes and no fixed reference
points. If every faerie stopped believing in gravity,
there would be no gravity, and if everyone stopped
believing in the Feywild, it would cease to exist.
There are more subtle aspects to this as well.
There’s no such thing as a fixed direction, so you
can’t just follow a compass to get to where you want
to go. You can’t even retrace your steps to get back to
where you came from. How travelling through the
Feywild works is discussed in the chapter on
traversing the Feywild (p. 10).
Out of Sight…
When looking into the distance, things look murkier.
Not foggy or unfocused, but as if zooming in on a
painting. It’s impossible to see details at a distance,
even when using something like a telescope. This is
because the further away things are, the more they
are in flux.
2

No Reason Needed
The lack of logical consistency can be used to a DM’s
advantage. If a player misses a session, just act like
they’ve never been part of the Feywild adventure in
the first place. When they return, act as if they were
never missing; the PCs must be misremembering
something. When dealing with the Feywild it’s best
not to look for a logical reason for when things
outside of the game affect the game. Play into it. The
Feywild is a weird place, and by breaking the normal
storytelling rules you can really drive that point home
to your players.
A trip to the Feywild is also the perfect opportunity
to have a player change something about their
character. For once they don’t have to come up with
an internally coherent way of explaining the sudden
change.
Never Tell Me the Odds
Using too many coincidences in a story can often
make it feel contrived and unrealistic. This of course
makes them perfect for the Feywild. Just as the
normal laws of physics don’t apply here, the laws of
probability also take a step back. What are the odds
that the party would just happen to run into the one
thing they’re looking for? At least 80%, maybe more.
The reason for this is simple. If something is on
the party’s mind, it’ll definitely affect their emotions.
These emotions shape the Feywild, and would make
it far more likely for the party to encounter whatever
it is they're thinking about.
Feel free to throw as many coincidences and
unlikely events at the party as you like, but when
doing so, the less subtle the better. You actively want
to shatter their suspension of disbelief. If your
players think you’re just a bad storyteller, you're
probably not going far enough. Make it obvious that
whatever happened would’ve been incredibly unlikely.
Most Stories are True
The Feywild is a world where the fantastical is
mundane, where coincidences are commonplace, and
where magic flows freely. There is therefore little
reason for an inhabitant of the Feywild to make
something up. Additionally, as discussed later, the
Fey cannot tell a lie.
It is for these reasons that most inhabitants of the
Feywild assume that most stories are true. This also
extends to outside of the Feywild: most stories
involving fairies tend to be true, no matter how
unlikely they seem.
3
As a DM, this can be used to your advantage. It
can be useful to have someone tell the party a grand
tale involving the Feywild or a bizarre fairytale with
its usual implausible events and plot twists. The
truth of this tale can then be a clue to help solve a
problem they might encounter in the Feywild.
The tale doesn’t even have to be especially
fantastical. “Old man Boris says fairies are tying his
shoelaces together and stealing his keys” could very
well be an indication that there’s a fey crossing
nearby.
The Rule of Three
It is of course widely know that all good things come
in threes, as do all bad things. Third time’s the
charm, but three’s also a crowd. In the Feywild, three
is very much the magic number. For this reason,
things in the Feywild tend to happen in threes. When
designing an adventure, consider splitting it into
three distinct parts. When you want an archfey to
give the party a quest, consider making it three
different smaller quests.
The party can also abuse this rule if they know
about it. If they really want something, they better
ask thrice.
The Unwritten Laws
There are certain rules all fey must adhere to.
However, there is no one entity that enforces these
rules, nor is there any form of punishment. The fey
are simply unable to break these rules. If one of
these rules does end up being broken, the emotional
disturbance caused by it will spur the Feywild itself
to right the wrong.
Tell No Lies
Most fey, with the exception of the eladrin, are unable
to knowingly tell a lie. However, this does not mean
they can be trusted. The fey are experts at giving
vague answers and dodging questions. Even when
being perfectly honest, they’ll still refrain from
speaking in absolutes or giving clear answers,
because this would make it obvious when they were
trying not to be honest.
This means that if you’re trying to role-play an
encounter with a faerie, you should try to be as
vague as possible. Never speak in absolutes, never
give a clear answer, use flowery language, dodge the
question, give irrelevant information, and so on.
One way to force the fey to speak plainly is to
repeat the question thrice, as per the rule of three.
Break No Oath
Any oath, contract, promise, or bargain made within
the Feywild or with a faerie is magically binding. Only
if both parties fulfil their end of the bargain or
mutually and freely agree to terminate the contract
can it be ended. This means a faerie cannot willingly
break a promise, even if conditions change which
would make fulfilling it a lot more difficult.
If someone breaks an oath, the magic of the
Feywild will punish them for it. This usually involves
extracting something of equal value from the
oathbreaker, or putting the oathbreaker under the
control of the claimant.
Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean the
Feywild will claim something tangible, especially if a
service was promised. The fey bargains table (p. 40)
may be able to give some inspiration for what can be
taken.
A Gift for a Gift
If a faerie gives you something, they’ll expect
something in return. Accepting something therefore
binds you to give something back. If you don’t
immediately give something back and deep down
inside feel unwilling to do so in the future, this will
be considered equivalent to breaking an oath, with all
the consequences thereof. This is also the reason
why you should never accept food or drink offered by
a fey.
The gift you give in return doesn’t have to be of
equal value, but it has to be given honestly and with
good intentions. The feeling behind it is far more
important than what is actually given.
In Autumn, which is the season of giving, this rule
is more relaxed. An Autumn fey may give a gift and
expect only your willingness to give to others in
return. Not giving something back will therefore not
be considered the breaking of an oath, but being
cold-hearted and selfish towards others will.
Fey Weaknesses
There are a few ways of dealing with the fey, or at the
very least stop them from annoying you. These
weaknesses are often used by people in the Material
Plane who live close to a fey crossing, but can also be
used within the Feywild.
Cold Iron
Iron represents cold hard reality, it cuts through lies
and reflects the truth. This makes it the perfect foil to
the Feywild’s wacky antics.
Iron and steel burn fey creatures when touched,
but don’t deal any extra damage. Steel weapons are
however considered magical when dealing damage to
fey creatures. Iron is rarely used by the inhabitants
of the Feywild, and when it is used it’s usually as a
means of torture (as is the case with redcap boots).
Attaching a horseshoe to a door or building an iron
fence around a house is a great way of protecting it
against fey intruders.
Running Water
Running water tends to change the flow of magic
around it. This means that if a faerie crosses a river,
the flow of the river might drag its magical abilities
with it. A faerie can therefore temporarily lose some
or all of its powers after crossing a river. This makes
them very reluctant to cross running water and
makes streams a great way of losing any fey which
might be chasing you.
Fey Logic
Another way of dealing with the fey is to use their
own bizarre logic against them. Everything which
seems like it would make sense unless you stop to
think about it for a moment would absolutely make
sense within the Feywild.
For example, wearing your clothes inside-out is a
time-honoured way of confusing the fey.
The Law of Names
As is generally the case with magical beings, knowing
someone’s true name gives you power over them. This
is especially true within the Feywild, where
everything is magic and words and thoughts grant
power. One way of defeating a powerful fey is to learn
its true name and speak it. They will then be bound
to either serve you or relinquish their powers.

Entering and Leaving

most planes, the only ways of getting there are with

 A lot of fey crossings only open infrequently, based
on seemingly arbitrary conditions or events. These
events are often associated with (sometimes rather
arbitrary) boundaries, like at the transition between
night and day or between winter and spring, It is at
these times when the barrier between the realms is
thinnest. You can use the following table for some
inspiration.
Fey Crossing Conditions Table
d12 Opens…
Feywild will often be tempted by its unparalleled
beauty and wonders beyond imagining. They will be
tempted to join its festivities, swim its lakes, climb its
trees, eat its fruits, and so on. Each of those things
makes them more and more connected to the
Feywild, and in turn less connected to the Material
Plane.
Even if someone manages to resist the temptation,
an exit still needs to be found. There are however few
clear crossings back to the Material Plane. This
leaves them with only a few options:

1 During a solar or lunar eclipse.
2 Under the light of the last waning moon of a
lunar cycle.
3 Under the light of a full moon.
4 While a rainbow is present in the sky.
• Get an archfey or other powerful fey to help out.
This will usually evolve a trade or quest (remember:
a gift for a gift).
• Wish for home. Emotions shape the Feywild, which

Faerie Paths
Paths between fey crossings are called faerie paths.
They’re often marked by greener grass, unusual
flowers, and similar phenomena. The fey crossings
these paths connect tend to open relatively
frequently. Faeries often travel along these paths, and
prank, annoy, or even curse anyone who blocks their
path. This is why it’s commonly considered bad luck
to make camp or build a house along these paths.

Leaving the Feywild

Ha!
If entering the Feywild willingly is hard, leaving it
freely is close to impossible.
A creature from the Material Plane wandering the
Feywild is an aberration to the Feywild, one which it
will try to rectify. This is often done by trying to turn
it into a being of the Feywild. A creature travelling the

doesn’t sound like something which lends itself to

especially since you're going through all the trouble
of reading this document!

7
 An easy solution would be to just say that when
travelling outside of the Feywild, everything within
the Feywild moves at the same pace relative to you.
That sounds like a cop-out if I ever heard one.
If we use the time warp rules, it would make sense
for time to work differently for different regions. We
can’t assume the Feywild cares about the emotional
state of someone when they aren’t in the Feywild, and
having the time warp depend on the current
emotional state would make it far too easy for the PCs
to game the system. To make a sensible system, we’d
need to both invert the time warp expectations of the
previous paragraph and take into account that the
more emotions are involved, the more solid things
become within the Feywild. Because of this, we’ll
assume that the time warp when entering the
Feywild depends on what region or city of the Feywild
you’re entering.
For locations filled with sadness, a day in the
Material Plane would feel like forever, while for a
region filled with happiness such a day would feel like
it was over in an instance.
Since we’re dealing with regions with a lot of
entities, the randomness tends to balance out, which
means there should be no need for any rolls. The
conversion table below should be sufficient. Simply
change the number of days the party has been away
from the Feywild as instructed by the following table.
Feywild Time Warp Table
Location Time warp
Horrendous Days become years
Sad Days become months
Sombre Days become weeks
Below average Days become two days
Average None (days become days)
Above average Days become 12 hours
Pleasant Days become 6 hours
Happy Days become hours
Idyllic Days become 5 minutes
This time warp can also be used when travelling
between cities and regions of the Feywild. Time moves
faster in happy regions than in sad regions. Since
time moves differently between regions, when going
from a happy to a sad region and back, almost no
time would have passed in the happy region.
Conversely, when moving from a sad region to a
happy region and back, the sad region may have felt
like months or even years have passed since your last
visit.
To use the above table for travelling within the
Feywild, simply replace the ‘days’ part of the region
you’re entering with the corresponding unit of the
region you’re leaving. So for example, when entering a
sad region from a happy region, months become
minutes. When leaving an idyllic region for a
horrendous one, the tens of minutes spent in the
idyllic region will have felt like years in the
horrendous one.
If travelling back and forth between regions of the
Feywild is an important part of your campaign, it
may be best to keep track of a kind of absolute time
by converting everything to “normal” days. For
example, if the party spends a day (= 4 * 6 hours) in a
pleasant region, 4 days of absolute time will have
passed. If they then enter a sad region, those 4
absolute days will then mean 4 months have passed
within the sad region.
I wouldn’t worry too much about time differences
when travelling. Time will move faster when the
journey is pleasant, but the distance travelled will
also be shorter. Just be sure to still check the party’s
happiness for the eventual time warp when leaving
the Feywild.
Fey Shenanigans
The time warp rules can also be abused by the fey.
Some try to trick outworlders into joining parties and
revelries to ‘prank’ them. Just a few days spent
among these fey could mean the outworlders
would’ve been missing for months or even years.
Unseelie fey play a crueler trick. They kidnap an
innocent soul and torment them endlessly. After they
return, an old and frail echo of their former selves,
their loved ones would’ve hardly noticed they’ve been
missing.

Memory Loss
The DMG also gives an optional rule for memory loss
when leaving the Feywild. This is however largely
unconnected to the framework established in this
document.
More importantly, I’m doubtful of the play value of
this rule. It increases the information gap between a
player and their character, undoes any interesting
character developments, and generally leads to more
feel-bads than interesting scenarios. I therefore
suggest you just ignore this optional rule entirely. If
you do want to implement the memory loss rule, I’d
make it less severe by making the memories become
hazy and unclear, rather than just gone altogether.
Another far more interesting option is to hint at
things that to the party’s knowledge never actually
happened. Think of an adventure the party could’ve
had, and leave hints that this adventure actually took
place. Have them find a magic item they got as a
reward, a letter with a poem mentioning their great
deeds, and so on. This doesn’t create an information
asymmetry between the players and their characters
and might lead to some fun consequences. If you
want to give your players the opportunity to make the
DC 10 Wisdom saving throw, simply inform those
who succeed about the adventure so they can play
along. I’d also up the DC to something like 15 or even
20, since they’re not rolling for the entire adventure
but only for a specific part.
If you need some inspiration for what kind of
adventure the party may have forgotten, here's a
table with some suggestions.

Forgotten Adventures Table
d6 Forgotten adventure
1 The party saved a baby stolen by a hag coven,
but one of the party members may have gotten
cursed in the process. They also managed to grab
a few potions (see hag potions, p. 37).
2 The party saved a family of gnomes from a
fomorian attack with some very clever
distractions. They still have a very special gourd-
shaped rock to remember them by.
3 The party came face to face with a Winter archfey.
Though she decided to let them go, the effects of
this encounter still linger. Whenever a party
member cries, their tears are cold and freeze as
they roll down their cheeks. One of the party
members may have promised their firstborn to
her.
4 The party tried to defend a wounded satyr from a
group of redcaps. They managed to fend off or
defeat the redcaps, but could not save the satyr.
A blood-stained pan flute serves as a sad
reminder.
5 The party managed to solve an archfey’s maze
and retrieve the sword hidden within. They now
carry a special sword with them (see seasonal
weapons, p. 36), but feel at least a year older.
6 The party failed to find a specific fruit requested
by an eladrin noble. As a result, they now bear a
mark on the palm of their left hand marking them
as undesirables among that noble’s family.
Traversing the Feywild
Traveling through the Feywild is a strange experience.
The landscapes of the Feywild are endlessly diverse
and unimaginably beautiful, but they are also
unpredictable and chaotic, infused with magic and
shaped by emotion. Traversing them should be a
unique experience, as weird and unfamiliar as
anything in the Feywild.
In this chapter, I’ll try to give an overview of what
can be found within the Feywild, but more
importantly how these things are connected and
interact. The goal is to make the Feywild feel like a
coherent but entirely alien world, governed by
incomprehensible but entirely consistent rules.
The Seasons
Seasons in the Feywild aren’t bound to a specific
time, but to a specific place. The Feywild is divided
into four realms, corresponding to the four seasons:
Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. These realms
are very much woven into the fabric of the Feywild
and are heavily linked to the emotions to which they
correspond.
The origin of these realms is an unknowable
mystery. Whether Summer exists because it is willed
into existence by the Summer Court or because it
echoes the emotions associated with the summer of
the Material Plane is a question without an answer.
The same is true for Winter. Autumn and Spring,
however, do not suffer from this ambiguity. They are
the result of the emotions of Summer transitioning
into the emotions of Winter and vice-versa.
Conveniently, each of the seasons can also be
linked to one of the four elements (fire, earth, water,
and wind)
Summer
Summer is a realm of lush trees, green grass, and
whatever else one would associate with the earthly
season of summer. It is also the realm of endless
deserts and dense jungles, of warm beaches and
stormy seas.
Emotionally, Summer is the realm of passion,
warmth, love, anger, and determination. Whatever
emotions set the soul on fire also warm the Feywild.
For this reason, Summer is associated with the
element of fire.
It is no surprise that the Summer fey tend to be
very passionate. They revel in song and dance and
have the most extravagant parties. They have
passionate love affairs and equally passionate break-
ups. Nothing is ever boring in Summer.
Summer fey are also quick to anger. Their favour
can turn quickly, and wronging one might cause a
lifetime of animosity. The resentment of a Summer fey
is never subtle. You’ll know when you have wronged
one, and some might go to the ends of the world to
get their revenge.
Winter
Winter is the realm of ice and snow, filled with snow-
covered woods, frozen lakes and icy plains. The few
plants that grow there are blackened and bare.
Emotionally, Winter is the realm of sadness, regret,
loneliness, and resentment, but also of quiet
contemplation and serenity. Whatever causes
someone to feel cold and distant does the same to the
Feywild. Winter, being the realm of sadness and
serenity, is associated with the element of water.
Winter fey tend to be very distant and uncaring.
Most wish nothing more than to be left alone or to
inflict on others the same pain and sadness they feel
themselves.
Autumn
Autumn is the transition from Summer to Winter. To
stave off the winter feelings, kindness and goodwill
are shared by all. For this reason, Autumn is the
season of the harvest. The plants there are a
constant source of fruits and other crops, which
regrow quickly after being harvested.
Trees in Autumn take on a variety of colours: red,
brown, orange, yellow, and even purple. Leaves are
constantly falling from the trees, though they tend to
dissipate as soon as they hit the ground, and the
trees never seem to run out.
Autumn is also the season where most mushrooms
can be found. These mushrooms come in all shapes
and sizes. A forest of giant mushrooms is definitely
not out of the question.
Not everyone in Autumn is as eager to share. Think
of the earthly feast of All Hallow’s Eve, which is also
associated with autumn. In the darker parts of
Autumn, the brown leaves turn purple and kindness
turns to fear. Monsters and hags roams these lands,
10
eager to terrify all they encounter, though giving
them an offering may dissuade them and compel
them to leave you alone. Gourds and pumpkins are
associated with these parts of Autumn and are often
considered ill omens.
Emotionally, Autumn is the season of caring and
sharing, of understanding and goodwill. But as
discussed above, it can also be the season of fright
and panic. These represent the two ways of
approaching the transition from summer to winter:
either with kindness, trying to save others from its
effects, or by fear of what is to come. (Note that these
are merely the associated feelings, Remember that
Summer doesn’t actually become Winter.)
Autumn, being the season of the harvest, of
holding steady for the coming winter, is associated
with the element of earth.
Spring
Spring is the transition from Winter to Summer. It’s
filled with joy and optimism, as the sadness melts
away and gives way to hope.
Trees in Spring are always blossoming, and come
in every conceivable colour. Flowers are always
blooming, and sometimes grow to enormous sizes.
Perhaps a forest of giant flowers can even be found.
Though beauty pervades Spring, more so than any
other season, it is not always a joyful and happy
place. Beauty often turns sour, it causes feelings of
superiority and disdain. Ugliness is frowned upon in
Spring, and might not make it as happy a place for
everyone.
Emotionally Spring is the realm of joy, love and
happiness, but also of jealousy and vanity. These are
the two ways of approaching the transition from
winter to summer: either by being happy about the
coming of summer or by being jealous of other
people’s joy and wanting it all for oneself. (Again,
Winter doesn’t actually become Summer, these are
merely the associated feelings.)
Spring, being the uplifting season of change, where
birds sing and love is in the air, is associated with the
element of wind.
11
Travelling Between Seasons
The seasons are geographically cyclical, which means
it’s impossible to enter a season from any season
other than its preceding season.
To travel to the Winter realm, one has to pass
through Autumn. There is no direct connection
between Summer and Winter, and no way to go
directly from Spring to Winter.
Say you start your journey in Summer. If you want
to travel to Winter, you’d first have to pass through
Autumn. Once you’ve reached Winter, if you then
turn back the way you came, you’ll pass through
Spring instead of Autumn, since Spring follows
Winter. If you’d want to head back to Autumn, you’d
need to go all the way back to Summer first. If you
leave Summer, then immediately try to turn back,
you’ll simply end up wandering through Autumn
instead, unable to find Summer again.
There are some ways of circumventing these
restrictions. Crossing through the Material Plane is
perhaps the most straightforward one since it’s the
easiest way of escaping the rules of the Feywild. This
is one of the reasons faerie paths (paths between fey
crossings) are relatively common and heavily
travelled.
Also, keep in mind that distance is relative. If
you’re in Summer, travelling all the way through
Autumn and Winter to get to Spring might seem like
a long trek, but with the right disposition and
enough charisma, it could be a relatively short
journey.
Dawn and Dusk
There’s no such thing as bright sunlight or black
skies within the Feywild. It is in a constant state of
twilight. This, however, doesn't mean the sky has the
same uniform look everywhere.
The skies of the Feywild can be roughly divided
into two regions: Dawn and Dusk. Dawn is where the
sky is brighter and Dusk is where the sky is darker.
As you walk away from Dawn and towards Dusk, the
sky goes through the colours of the twilight, going
from orange to red to crimson to purple to dark blue.
You can only really walk towards Dawn or Dusk if
you’re actively trying to. If you’re just nonchalantly
walking in a certain direction which seems like it’s
heading dawnwards, you can quite easily end up in
Dusk without noticing.
Dawn does not fully correspond to Summer, and
Dusk does not fully correspond to Winter, but there
is a correlation. Most of Summer lies within Dawn,
but at least some parts lie within Dusk. The same is
true for Winter and Dusk. This is essentially the
Feywild version of days being longer during summer
and shorter during winter. For Autumn and Spring,
the odds of being in Dawn or Dusk are roughly equal.
Dawn and Dusk are also heavily influenced by
emotion. If the general mood of an area turns sad,
the skies will turn to Dusk. If an area becomes
happy, Dawn is soon to follow. This generally means a
shift rather than a change. When deep into Dusk,
happiness won't normally bring a bright sky, but it
might make the sky brighter than usual.
Correspondingly, sadness in Dawn might shift the
sky more towards Dusk, but will almost never cause
significant darkness.
Because Dawn and Dusk shift based on emotions,
locations can't really be said to be located within
either Dawn or Dusk. A city might for example be in
Dawn during happy times, but shift to Dusk in times
of great sadness.
Celestial Objects
The Sun
When you wander far enough dawnwards, you’ll
eventually see a bright red sun peeking out from over
the horizon. This sun looks roughly five times as big
as the sun in the Material Plane. It is always at the
dawn-most point of the sky.
The more duskwards you go, the more the sun
dips below the horizon until eventually it leaves your
view at the border between Dawn and Dusk. At this
point the sky is crimson. This means that walking
dawnwards would look a lot like watching a massive
sunrise. No matter how far you travel dawnwards,
only half the sun can ever be seen.
The Moon
The moon of the Feywild is a lot more personal than
the sun. It’s a permanent fixture of the Feywild sky
and appears in the same spot to all local observers,
but the phase they see is different for everyone.
The phase of the moon often acts as an omen. A
waxing moon means a positive portent, while a
waning moon is often an ill omen. A full moon
indicates a moment of great importance.
The Stars
Stars are simply sparkling lights in the sky. A star
appears, shimmers and shines for a while, and
disappear again. The Dusk sky is constantly filled
with sparkling lights, and even the Dawn sky can be
seen sparkling if one looks closely enough.
Often these stars form detailed constellations,
telling the tales of long-forgotten gods or mighty
archfey of yore. Sometimes a bright star will act as a
beacon, guiding weary travellers to where they need
to go, whether they know where that is or not.
If you’re taking a Spelljammer campaign or
something similar into the Feywild (you beautiful
soul), I’d suggest using the same rules as for
anything else in the Feywild: other stars and planets
only become concrete once you get close enough.
Those blinking stars in the sky aren’t actually real (at
least according to our Material Plane understanding
of the word real). No matter where you’d end up in
the Feywild cosmos, magic and emotion still shape
the landscape. Perhaps those planets could be
bizarre echoes of other planets within the Material
Plane? (Also, while you're at it, any spaceships
should be powered not by magic, but by imagination.)
12

Weather
Like most things in the Feywild, the weather is also
the direct result of emotion. Unlike Dawn and Dusk,
which will often be the result of aggregate emotion,
weather will usually be the result of an unusual
emotional event. When someone is suddenly gripped
with great sadness, it might cause rain or even snow
in the surrounding area. Other sudden emotions may
cause other effects. You can use the following table
as inspiration.
Plants can still be planted and grown, usually for
crops. However, the process isn’t what you’re used to.
Growing a plant mostly requires encouragement and
positive vibes. Like everything in the Feywild, they
are shaped by emotion. Water and sunlight won't
nurture them, love will.
The Objects and Weapons chapter has some
natural objects which might be able to help inspire
some aspects of Feywild nature (p. 33).

Weather
Emotion Weather

Anger Thunder and lightning

Confusion Mist

Despair Dark clouds

Frustration Strong winds

Hope Clear skies

Pain Hail

Regret Snow

Relief A gentle breeze

Sadness Rain

Changing the weather is an easy way of having the

party’s emotional state affect the world around them
and might be a great way of clueing them in to the
power of emotion.
Weather will, of course, be a lot more extreme in
the Feywild than in the Material Plane. Don’t be
afraid to exaggerate the size of raindrops, the force of
the wind, or the thickness of the mist.

Plants
Unsurprisingly, plants in the Feywild don't behave
like plants in the Material Plane. First of all, like most
things in the Feywild, they’re on average quite a bit
bigger. They also aren’t bound by any natural cycle of
life and death. Plants in the Feywild just are. They
are an intrinsic part of the Feywild tapestry, formed
and shaped by the same emotions that shape the
land and seas. A tree in the Feywild isn't just a tree,
it’s the idea of a tree, the emotions associated with
trees.

13
Roads
The rules that govern the Feywild would make it
quite impossible to build a conventional road there.
Where it has to go, how long it has to be, and what
route it could follow would change constantly. This
doesn’t mean there are no roads, it simply means
that they’d have to be magical.
Roads within the Feywild follow rules rather than
paths. A road may, for example, lie at the half-way
point between Summer and Winter, wind its way
between places of great joy, or follow the path a
famous hero once travelled. These roads are often
named after the rule they follow (so respectively for
the given examples: the Autumn Road, the Road of
Joy, and the Hero’s Road.)
Following preset rules also means that roads tend
to have a specific starting and endpoint, and often
always pass through certain locations. Roads are
often the safest way of getting from one place to
another without the risk of getting lost along the way.
Of course, these roads are still bound to the
bizarre rules of the Feywild. The perceived length will
depend on the emotional state of those travelling it,
and it is under no obligation to make any kind of
rational sense. Roads may twist and turn, loop back
on themselves, make u-turns, or even branch off,
and still eventually reach their destination.
A fork in the road doesn’t necessarily mean there’s
a right and a wrong way. Often one way is simply
longer or more dangerous. One fun way to add a fork
to a road is by not making it horizontal, but vertical.
Describe two different-looking roads, depending on if
you’re looking up or down. Looking up and walking
along the road takes you down the upper road,
looking down takes you down the lower road. A party
may even suddenly get separated this way if they’re
not careful. “Take the upper road” is also a nice
cryptic piece of advice a friendly faerie might give.
Few roads travel between seasons, mostly because
those that do are still bound by the cyclicality of the
seasons. If a road connects a location in Summer to a
location in Autumn, you can follow that road as
expected to reach Autumn, but if you start in
Autumn and try to reach Summer, you’ll end up
eternally walking that road and never actually getting
there.
Buildings
Buildings are relatively rare in the Feywild. Of its
various races, only the elves tend to build structures,
and even then those are usually integrated into the
natural surroundings. The most notable buildings in
the Feywild are those built by or for the various
archfey, though most archfey don’t live in buildings.
These archfey buildings tend to be far larger and
elaborate than any palaces in the Material Plane.
Fey architecture usually doesn’t make sense. The
palace of an archfey might have a lot of tall towers,
way more than would be sensical or practical.
Different parts of a building can be connected in all
sorts of weird and unusual ways, from twisting
hallways to floating stairs. Doors will often be opened
with magic rather than with something as quaint as
a doorknob, perhaps by saying a specific word or by
gently knocking.
The fey care a lot about beauty, which means it’s
rare for a building not to be expertly crafted and
meticulously decorated. “Form over function” is
definitely the name of the game.
If stone is used in construction, as is often the
case for the big elven cities, it is almost exclusively
white quartz. This material gives off a soft white light
in the Feywild, giving most buildings a magical glow.
The Feydark
Like the Material Plane, the Feywild also has an
underdark, sometimes called the Feydark. As with
the Feywild compared to the Material Plane, the
Feydark is the exaggeration of the underdark: bigger
caverns, more complicated tunnels, weirder fungi,
and a lot scarier.
More than anything, it is the realm of the
Fomorians. Driven here because of their
hideousness, they now rule large parts of the Feydark
as cruel overlords, tormenting and enslaving all they
encounter.
14

Mapping the Feywild
The most important thing to keep in mind when
trying to map the Feywild is that it is completely
impossible to do so in any conventional way.
First of all, there’s no such thing as absolute
distance. Things can be as far or as near to each-
other as feels right. If you feel confident or happy
when trying to get to your destination, the road there
will seem noticeably shorter and less troubling. When
determining travel distance, Charisma checks can be
used to see how much influence the party is exerting
on the Feywild to shorten (or lengthen) their journey.
There’s also no absolute direction. Though there’s
always a lighter and darker part of the sky (Dawn
and Dusk), the places these lead to are far from fixed.
If you want to head to a specific location, the most
important thing is wanting to get there. Let your
emotions guide you, and they will literally lead the
way.
There’s one big exception, and that’s roads. Roads
tend to have fixed starting and endpoints, and may
even always pass through specific locations, so it’s
technically possible to map the Feywild as a
collection of places (without a fixed location)
connected by a network of roads.
Like a Boardgame
There’s one kind of map which lends itself
surprisingly well to the Feywild, and that’s the map
of most traditional roll-and-move style boardgames
(e.g. Candyland or Game of the Goose). In those
games, there’s usually a starting location, an end
point, and a number of random spaces in-between.
The actual travel time depends on how high your rolls
are and how useful the places you land on are.
This can easily be translated to a map of specific
road. A road going from point A to point B might look
something like this:
B If you want to create a map for your campaign
A roads too long, though. For a party of 4, expect an
The goal would be to have something happen
whenever the party lands on a space between A and
B. The more spaces they land on, the more
encounters they'll get and the longer the journey will
feel.
15
To advance on the road, every player has to make a
Charisma check. Have every player who seems
confident or happy roll with advantage and every
player who seems insecure or unhappy roll with
disadvantage. Each player contributes a number of
moves equal to the highest of the following DC’s they
beat (-3 if they beat none):
DC: – 0 5 10 15 20 25
Move: -3 -2 -1 0 +1 +2 +3
The number of spaces the party advances on the
board is equal to 2 plus the sum of each member’s
contribution, to a minimum of 0. If the result is a 0,
the party seemingly fails to make any progress and
might trigger the same space again.
There are a few ways of assigning events to the
specific spaces on the map. One way is to have a
space correspond to a specific place or event. If the
road occasionally passes a certain point, that point
might be associated with one of those space. Do note
that this means the road doesn't always go past it.
The party will walk along the entire road, so if the
road always passes a certain point, it’s impossible to
not see it and that would mean it has to be a node
(like point A and B) and not a space on the board.
Another way is to have a random encounter
happen on a space. It might be handy to have a list of
events ready for this occasion (the travel encounters
table on page 20 might be able to help).
There’s also the option of having the random
encounters depend on how well the party rolled on
their Charisma checks, with higher rolls leading to
more positive encounters. I’d advise against this,
however, since this has the downside of punishing
players twice for the same bad rolls, and might make
the long journey even longer if the party keeps failing
on their Charisma checks. This could even start to
snowball when this causes sadness within the group.
It also makes positive rolls quite boring.
using this method, simply pick a few nodes
(important places within your campaign) and connect
these using board game-style roads. Don't make the
encounter roughly every 3 spaces, or every 4 spaces
for Charisma-heavy parties or higher level parties. If
you expect your party to be doing a lot of travelling,
it’s probably best to use roughly 5 spaces between
nodes, or 8 for what are meant to be long roads.

Parallel Features
Every location in the Material Plane has a
corresponding place within the Feywild which
represents the emotions associated with that place. A
waterfall, for example, becomes the awe and wonder
associated with a waterfall. These places are
generally bigger, more beautiful, and far more
exciting. As inspiration for Feywild locations, as well
as for where a fey crossing might lead, here’s a list of
what a Material Plane location might correspond to.
A Lake
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A giant, continuously spinning whirlpool
surrounded by otherwise calm Summer woods. In
the centre lies a small island seemingly unaffected
by what’s happening around it.
2 An inverted lake: a large, dry valley around which
lies a flooded forest. The valley is populated with
legged sea creatures, while the forest is populated
with fish-tailed forest creatures. The edge of the
flooded forest is a giant waterfall.
3 A vast lake in Winter’s Dusk, where glowing snow
falls from the sky like falling stars. Touching the lake
causes it to freeze instantly, making it possible to
walk on it.
4 A vast Spring lake full of giant waterlilies in various
shades of pink and purple. The lake can be crossed
by walking over or riding the giant lily pads.
An Island
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A large Summer island with lush trees, small rivers,
and a rocky shore. The island floats a few metres
above an ocean, with the rivers forming small
waterfalls.
2 A beach which lies just below water level, with trees
and plants seemingly growing out of the water. The
water is perfectly still and looks like a mirror.
3 A giant tree trunk in the middle of an ocean, the
remains of a giant tree which once grew there. It
looks like it cracked rather than being cut down, but
the remains of its crown are nowhere to be found.
Other giant trees can be seen on the horizon.
4 The back of a giant fey turtle. The shell looks like a
Summer forest.
A Forest
d12 Corresponding feature
1 A great Summer forest, with tall grass, giant
bushes, and enormous trees.
2 A thickset Summer jungle, only illuminated by the
occasional glowing fruit or vine.
3 A great Autumn forest, with giant trees in every
shade of red, brown, orange, and yellow. Leaves
keep falling and dissipating as they touch the
ground.
4 A dark Autumn forest, where the leaves are various
shades of purple and crimson. Many small orbs of
lights (possibly will-o’-the-wisps) can be seen
floating between the trees.
5 A forest in Autumn’s Dusk, full of dimly glowing
pumpkins. They grow all along the forest floor, as
well as in bushes and trees.
6 An Autumn forest which has a constant powerful
wind blowing through it, carrying an enormous
number of leaves along with it. Every tree looks
completely windswept, but they nevertheless do
not seem to have lost their leaves.
7 A Winter forest which looks like a regular Feywild
forest, except everything is entirely made of ice.
Every tree, bush, flower, and leaf looks like an
incredibly detailed ice sculpture.
8 A cold Winter forest, with black, leafless trees and
a snow-covered floor. Every tree trunk looks like a
different face screaming in agony.
9 An idyllic Spring forest, with a floor covered in
flowers and the trees covered in blossoms of every
conceivable colour.
10 A Spring forest filled with twisting trees, curling
vines, and oddly-shaped flowers.
11 A Spring forest with giant flowers instead of trees,
as if the surrounding world has suddenly grown
massive.
12 A forest in Spring’s Dusk where the trees are made
of crystal. Touching them causes them to briefly
light up in a random vibrant colour.
16
A Desert
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A desert of black sand in Summer’s Dusk, with
glowing red gems shattered throughout (these
gems burn everything they touch).
2 A red desert with dunes moving like waves along
its surface as if it’s an ocean of sand.
3 A desert made entirely of reflective grains of
sands, with different colours of light flowing along
its surface, reflected by the sand.
4 A flat desert dotted with hills formed by sand
flowing from certain points in the sky as if falling
through an hourglass.
An Ice Field
d4 Corresponding feature
1 An endless, perfectly clear ice sheet in the heart of
Winter. Ice crystals a few metres in height piercing
the ice dot the landscape.
2 Snowy Winter hills where beautiful snowflakes over
a metre in diameter fall from the sky (and possibly
on top of the players). They shatter into a million
pieces once they hit the ground.
3 A frozen Winter ocean, with waves of ice moving
along its surface and occasionally crashing and
shattering into a million tiny shards.
4 A Winter landscape made entirely out of icicles of
various shapes and sizes.
A River
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A wild and turbulent river. It meanders through a
lush Summer forest. If someone tries to follow it
either upstream or downstream, they eventually
end up back where they started.
2 A Spring river with cherry blossom trees lining its
banks. The surface of the river is covered in pink
cherry blossom leaves.
3 A calm, winding, dark river within Dusk, illuminated
by the light of many will-o’-the-wisps floating above
its surface.
4 Floating water winding its way between trees as if a
river had given up on gravity but decided to at least
keep flowing.
17
A Marsh or Swamp
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A Summer swamp with a water-covered floor. Tall
grass hides the water completely.
2 A purple-fogged Autumn swamp with giant
mushrooms in lieu of trees. Glowing green
mushrooms provide some light beneath the giant
mushroom caps.
3 A cold Winter swamp, its floor covered with a thick
ice sheet. Frozen tree trunks jut out from below the
ice sheet.
4 A dark Spring swamp, overgrown with thorny vines.
Many poisonous flowers can be found here,
growing on and around the vines.
A Mountain Range
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A ridge of immense rocky spikes with tips piercing
the heavens.
2 A ridge of giant geometrically shaped crystals, as if
small stone crystals had been enlarged to the size
of mountains.
3 A mountain range which seemingly curves in on
itself, like a crashing wave.
4 Giant natural stone archways, as if holes carved
through mountains. Lush Spring plains can be seen
and accessed through the archways, but going
behind them simply leads to more rocky terrain and
more similar archways.
A Volcano
d4 Corresponding feature
1 A black mountain with a spiral of flames spewing
from the top and disappearing into a massive
swirling black cloud.
2 A glass mountain, almost perfectly transparent.
Within it molten glass can be seen winding its way
to the top.
3 A terraced mountain with over a hundred levels,
with scalding hot water cascading down each
terrace and flowing into the next. At the top is a
giant geyser.
4 A tall mountain with giant red crystals at the top.
Eternal fire seems to be burning within them.
By Season
If your party is already in the Feywild and travelling
within a specific Season, it might be more useful to
have the features sorted by season. So here are the
exact same features, but organised by season.
Summer
d10 Feature
1 A great forest, with tall grass, giant bushes, and
enormous trees.
2 A thickset jungle, only illuminated by the
occasional glowing fruit or vine.
3 A swamp with a water-covered floor. Tall grass
hides the water completely.
4 A mountain range which seemingly curves in on
itself, like a crashing wave.
5 A black mountain with a spiral of flames spewing
from the top and disappearing into a massive
swirling black cloud.
6 A wild and turbulent river. It meanders through a
lush forest. If someone tries to follow it either
upstream or downstream, they eventually end
up back where they started.
7 A giant, continuously spinning whirlpool
surrounded by otherwise calm woods. In the
centre lies a small island seemingly unaffected
by what’s happening around it.
8 A desert of black sand in Dusk, with glowing red
gems shattered throughout (these gems burn
everything they touch).
9 A red desert with dunes moving like waves
along its surface as if it’s an ocean of sand.
10 A flat desert dotted with hills formed by sand
flowing from certain points in the sky as if falling
through an hourglass.
Autumn
d10 Feature
1 A great forest, with giant trees in every shade of
red, brown, orange, and yellow. Leaves keep
falling and dispersing as they touch the ground.
2 A dark forest, where the leaves are various
shades of purple and crimson. Many small orbs
of lights (possibly will-o’-the-wisps) can be seen
floating between the trees.
3 A forest in Dusk, full of dimly glowing pumpkins.
They grow all along the forest floor, as well as in
bushes and trees.
4 A forest which has a constant powerful wind
blowing through it, carrying an enormous
number of leaves along with it. Every tree looks
completely windswept, but they nevertheless do
not seem to have lost their leaves.
5 A purple-fogged swamp with giant mushrooms
in lieu of trees. Glowing green mushrooms
provide some light beneath the giant mushroom
caps.
6 A ridge of immense rocky spikes with tips
piercing the heavens.
7 A tall mountain with giant red crystals at the top.
Eternal fire seems to be burning within these
crystals.
8 A calm, winding, dark river within Dusk,
illuminated by the light of many will-o’-the-wisps
floating above its surface.
9 Floating water winding its way between trees as
if a river had given up on gravity but decided to
at least keep flowing.
10 An inverted lake: a large, dry valley around
which lies a flooded forest. The valley is
populated with legged sea creatures, while the
forest is populated with fish-tailed forest
creatures. The edge of the flooded forest is a
giant waterfall.
18
Winter
d10 Feature
1 A forest which looks like a regular Feywild forest,
except everything is entirely made of ice. Every
tree, bush, flower, and leaf looks like an
incredibly detailed ice sculpture.
2 A cold forest, with black, leafless trees and a
snow-covered floor. Every tree trunk looks like a
different face screaming in agony.
3 A cold swamp, its floor covered with a thick ice
sheet. Frozen tree trunks jut out from below the
ice sheet.
4 A ridge of giant geometrically shaped crystals,
as if small stone crystals had been enlarged to
the size of mountains.
5 A glass mountain, almost perfectly transparent.
Within it molten glass can be seen winding its
way to the top.
6 A vast lake in Dusk, where glowing snow falls
from the sky like falling stars. Touching the lake
causes it to freeze instantly, making it possible to
walk on it.
7 An endless, perfectly clear ice sheet. Ice crystals
a few metres in height piercing the ice dot the
landscape.
8 Snowy hills where beautiful snowflakes over a
metre in diameter fall from the sky (and possibly
on top of the players). They shatter into a million
pieces once they hit the ground.
9 A frozen ocean, with waves of ice moving along
its surface and occasionally crashing and
shattering into a million tiny shards.
10 A landscape made entirely out of icicles of
various shapes and sizes.
19
Spring
d10 Feature
1 An idyllic forest, with a floor covered in flowers
and the trees covered in blossoms of every
conceivable colour.
2 A forest filled with twisting trees, curling vines,
and oddly-shaped flowers.
3 A forest with giant flowers instead of trees, as if
the surrounding world has suddenly grown
massive.
4 A Dusk forest where the trees are made of
crystal. Touching them causes them to briefly
light up in a random vibrant colour.
5 A dark swamp, overgrown with thorny vines.
Many poisonous flowers can be found here,
growing on and around the vines.
6 Giant natural stone archways, as if holes carved
through mountains. Lush Spring plains can be
seen and accessed through the archways, but
going behind them simply leads to more rocky
terrain and more similar archways.
7 A terraced mountain with over a hundred levels,
with scalding hot water cascading down each
terrace and flowing into the next. At the top is a
giant geyser.
8 A river with cherry blossom trees lining its banks.
The surface of the river is covered in pink cherry
blossom leaves.
9 A vast lake full of giant waterlilies in various
shades of pink and purple. The lake can be
crossed by walking over or riding the giant lily
pads.
10 A desert made entirely of reflective grains of
sands, with different colours of light flowing
along its surface, reflected by the sand.
Travel Encounters
Of course, the Feywild is far from a realm of peace
and quiet. Players travelling through the Feywild
would encounter many strange creatures and events.
Note that not everything needs to be a combat
encounter, and weirding the players out can be a
much more effective way of introducing them to the
wonders of the Feywild.
I’ve included a table with some random
encounters. These are fairly season-agnostic,
although it probably wouldn't hurt to add a seasonal
twist to them depending on which season the party is
currently in. Some of them assume the party is
travelling along a road, but most work pretty much
anywhere. They’re not super detailed, but should be a
good jumping-off point. You’ll need the Monster
Manual and Volo's Guide to Monsters for some of the
encounters. Some of the magic items given as
rewards (marked with an asterisk) can be found in
the section on magic items (p. 34).
Travel Encounters
d100 Encounter
1-3 The party sees a group of redcaps attacking a
satyr (Wybnum). If the party manages to save
him, he’ll insist on helping out, but will mostly
end up being annoying and easily distracted.
4-6 A fomorian stumbles across the road chasing a
pixie, knocking down everything in its path. The
pixie seems to be having a lot of fun with this,
but will nevertheless reward the party if they
manage to save her.
7-9 A female autumn eladrin (Eldarnae) is plucking
small lambs in a field of barometz trees (trees
which grow bark-horned, grass-coated sheep).
In exchange for a gift, she gives the party a few
barometz seeds*.
10-12 A brightly coloured wind starts blowing, and
every character feels a surge of magic coursing
through their body. Every character with some
magical capabilities must make a DC 15
Charisma saving throw or roll on the Feywild
Wild Magic Table (p. 43).
13-15 The party encounters an intelligent talking fox. It
seems friendly and says it wants to help out, but
it actually wants to trick the party into giving it
something of emotional value.
16-18 The party comes across a bridge which is being
held up by a massive hill giant. If someone tries
to cross it, they either have to succeed on a DC
20 stealth check or fail on a DC 15 Charisma
(Performance) check in order not to distract the
giant.
19-21 The party comes across three pixies asking for a
trade. See the fey bargains table (p. 40) for more
details.
22-24 A large owl swoops down and perches
somewhere close to the party. It starts speaking,
but only speaks in cryptic sentences, along the
lines of “time turns along the winding paths“,
“hope exists only for the hopeful”, “the end is
near, but nearer still is the beginning”, and “the
dance of summer will bring its light”. None of it
means anything, and every request for
clarification is met with either more cryptic
sentences or a repeat of a previous statement.
25-27 Large bubbles float by on a cold wind. If a
creature pops a bubble they take 2d4 psychic
damage as they come to a sudden realisation
that they were wrong about something they
used to believe fervently.
28-30 An androgynous spring eladrin bard (Alanion)
passes by. If the party treats them well, they’ll
sing a song so beautiful it feels as if the party
took a long rest.
31-33 The party encounters a satyr revelry. Anyone
who decides to join the festivities has to make a
DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or becomes unable
to leave the revelry willingly.
34-36 A (group of) korred(s) shows up demanding hair.
If the party freely gives them some hair, or if
they manage to steal some, they might decide
to run and take it to an enemy of the party to
use with the scrying or dream spell.
37-39 The party encounters a group of quicklings tying
their shoes together and pulling other pranks.
The quicklings are very fast, so it’s difficult to
find out exactly what is happening at first.
40-42 A tree is dying and asks the party for a story
before it goes. After its death, it turns into a
summer eladrin wearing a treeform necklace*.
43-45 A boulder or body of water close to the party
becomes angry and starts screaming. It
eventually transforms into a corresponding
elemental and attacks the party.
20
46-48 A field of bright yellow flowers grows across the
party’s path. If someone walks through them,
they have to succeed on a DC 12 Constitution
saving throw or fall asleep. If they do, they
slowly sink away into the field until woken up. It
takes a minute to fully sink into the ground.
49-51 A sleeping troll blocks the party’s path. If they
try to sneak past it, the exact same sleeping troll
blocks their path again after travelling a bit
further. Only removing the troll from the path in
some way breaks the loop.
52-54 The party comes across a crying pixie (Wattle)
sitting on a turkey tail mushroom, apparently
down on her luck. If the party manages to cheer
her up (probably by giving her a gift of some
sort), she will grant the party a single wish. Turns
out she can’t actually grant wishes, but will still
try to do anything in her power to make the wish
come true. She cannot be dissuaded from
trying, even if the party wished for something
seemingly impossible.
55-57 A (group of) centaur(s), fearing what outworlders
might do to the surrounding forest, confronts
the party. If the party can demonstrate their
respect for nature, they are let go or perhaps
even aided. Otherwise, they will have to fight.
58-60 Everything around the party except for the road
they are walking on seems to grow the further
they walk along the road until they are
surrounded by giant flowers, mushrooms, blades
of grass, or whatever is appropriate for the
season. Giant bugs (see p. 51) can be seen and
perhaps start attacking the party. After travelling
some more, the party’s surroundings turn back
to their usual size (assuming there’s such a thing
as usual in the Feywild).
61-63 A brownie (Caughi) offers her services to the
party. However, she ends up complaining about
any task they try to make her perform (while still
performing the task). She refuses to stop
working for the party, and forcing her to stop or
insulting her in any way makes her angry and
incurs her wrath and the wrath of her nearby kin.
64-66 The party unknowingly enters a glade home to
an army of sprites. The punishment for this is
death, though the party may be able to talk their
way out of this verdict.
21
67-69 The party comes across scarecrows dressed like
members of the party. When touched, they turn
suddenly to life and start attacking the party.
70-72 Trinkets and other small objects the party is
carrying seem to go missing. Objects equal to
20 minus the highest passive perception score in
the party go missing before the party notices. If
the party tries to look for what’s causing this, a
DC 16 Wisdom (Perception) check reveals that a
small group of invisible pixies is responsible.
They’ll tell the party where they’ve hidden the
objects in return for something else. The fey
bargains table (p.42) could act as inspiration.
73-75 Every tree the party passes seems to have the
shape of a face on its trunk. A DC 15 Wisdom
(Perception) check reveals that the eyes of these
faces seem to follow the party. If the party does
not pay attention, the trees try to grab the party
member who’s last in line.
76-78 A giant purple troll ambushes the party out of
nowhere. Things seem off about it. It’s moving
remarkably fast, and while apparently aggressive
seems to go out of its way to not harm the party
or the environment. Attacks against it seem
ineffective and somehow delayed. A DC 17
Intelligence (Investigation) check reveals it to be
an illusion created by a group of pixies.
79-81 The party comes across a river with large chunks
of ice floating down it. If they investigate
upstream, they find a waterfall where the ice
seems to be forming. The cause of the ice flow
is a Sword of Unending Winter* stuck in the rock
behind the waterfall.
82-84 The party comes across a group of friendly hill
giants trying to make a mountain they just
planted grow. To do this, they need either the
help of a pixie or a strong enough feeling of
accomplishment. If the party manages to help
out, they get a Mountain Seed* in return.
85-87 The party encounters a human child (Billy) no
older than 10. He apparently ended up here
after following a group of satyrs into the woods.
He had a lot of fun with these satyrs, but has
since lost track of them and would now like to
return home. However, unbeknownst to the kid,
the time he's been away from the Material
Plane, though seemingly short for him, has
actually been at least 20 years.
88-90 The air suddenly turns to deep Dusk as a large
raven approaches the party. If they give it a gift
or are otherwise friendly to it, the raven leaves
and the air turns back to the way it was. If they
attack it, the raven turns into a hag.

91-93 The party encounters a talking frog who claims

to be an enchanted prince. Only a kiss would
break the spell. Anyone who kisses the frog
must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving
throw or be poisoned for the next hour. After
being kissed, the frog turns into an oni, who
mocks the party for falling for his obvious trap.

94-96 Storm clouds appear in the sky and lightning

starts flashing down. Every so often a party
member has to make a DC 13 Dexterity saving
throw or take 3d10 lightning damage. The cause
of this storm is an angry brownie (Ragh) who was
insulted by some pixies. If they manage to calm
(or kill) the brownie, the storm subsides.

97-99 The party hears a voice coming from a lake. If

they approach the lake, they are handed a
magnificent golden sword by a beautiful faerie
lurking beneath the water.
If they accept the sword, the faerie leaves
immediately. To everyone with a passive
Intelligence (Investigation) score of 18 or less,
the sword looks like a magical sword. If a player
attunes to the sword and has a passive
Intelligence (Arcana) score of 15 or less, they are
convinced this is a vorpal sword, or whatever
other magical weapon they strongly desire. In
reality it is a frail wooden sword which gives a -2
bonus and has a 50% chance of breaking on
impact.
If they refuse the sword, the faerie becomes
angry and attacks the party. It has the stats of
either a water elemental or a marid (whichever is
more appropriate), but with size medium and
the fey creature type.

100 The party encounters an archfey who gives them

three quests. See the Names and Quests
sections (p. 24) of the chapter on Fey Politics for
more information.

22
Fey Politics
The politics of the Feywild are nothing like those of
the Material Plane. Power and influence are woven
into the fabric of the Feywild. Lords of the fey are
therefore extraordinarily powerful beings, and their
dominion extends to more than just lands and titles.
Most archfey arise as a manifestation of feelings or
emotions, though it is possible for certain fey to
ascend to archfeyhood. Even so, if someone ascends
to archfeyhood it will often seem like they’ve always
been an archfey. Like a lot of things in the Feywild,
the origins of most archfey is essentially unknowable.

Alignment They simply are.

When dealing with the Fey, it’s probably best to take
every idea of traditional alignment you might have
and throw it out of the window. There is no true good
or evil, lawful or chaotic in the Feywild. There is only
playful and malicious, seelie and unseelie (as
described below).
Most fey creatures are described as chaotic by the
DMG, which according to traditional alignment puts
them at the opposite end of lawful: they don’t much
care for rules and decide based on their own morality
what can and can’t be done. That’s not how the fey
operate, though. The fey do follow some sort of law:
the rules of the Feywild (which are important enough
to have their own chapter!). The rules they follow are,
however, impossible to understand for any Material
Plane brain, which makes the fey seem incredibly
chaotic. The biggest difference, however, is that these
rules are innate, they’re part of the fabric of the
Feywild. The fey cannot choose whether to follow
them or not. All this makes lawful vs chaotic mostly
meaningless when dealing with the Feywild.
Appearance
Archfey don’t have to have a permanent form, but
most will at least take on a characteristic
appearance, often with certain features unique to
them. They’ll usually take a humanoid, often elf-like
form. Their apparent age can vary wild, and often has
little to do with their actual power. Even the most
powerful fey can take the form of a child or elderly
person. Titania, for example, is often depicted as a
young girl.
The following table can provide some inspiration
for weird physical characteristics an archfey might
have. Be sure to have this characteristic correspond
to their associated powers or emotion.
Archfey Characteristics

The most powerful beings in the Feywild are called

Archfey are essentially masters of emotion. They
have either mastered their emotions enough to shape 7 Dress 7 Shimmering stars
the Feywild to their will or embody an emotion so
perfectly that whatever the Feywild’s reaction to that 8 Body 8 Ethereal flames

wanted in the first place.

Some Archfey, like Titania (ruler of the Summer
11 Wings 11 Bright light
Court), have dominion over an entire realm, while
others are content to simply wander the Feywild 12 Aura 12 Rainbows
looking to help, harass, or prank whatever crosses
their path.

23

Names
The true name of an archfey is almost always kept
secret, since knowing an archfey’s true name would
rob them of their power. Archfey, therefore, tend to be
referred to by their titles, often given to them in
legends and stories. These are often quite mundane,
referencing common natural phenomena or emotions.
These titles can be quite different from one-another,
sometimes referencing different aspects or alluding to
a different role or even gender. For example, the Lord
of Loves Past might also be the Guardian of Forgotten
Glory.
Archfey are sometimes given titles similar to those
given to royalty or nobility in the Material Plane.
Except they're not, say, the king or queen of a place,
but of a feeling or concept. These titles don’t actually
confer any power and are mostly bastardisations of
their true Sylvan titles, which are more precise but
impossible to translate. The queen of a certain
emotion would simply have mastered control of that
emotion, rather than actually ruling it.
The tables on this page allow you to quickly create
an archfey title. Don’t hesitate to make the name
more fancy or archaic after rolling for one.
Encountering Archfey
While archfey seem to function as the deities of the
Feywild, they are a lot more approachable. The odds
of randomly running into one are also quite a bit
higher, both because of how probability works in the
Feywild and because the archfey often have an
interest in outworlders.

 When planning an encounter with an archfey, I
highly encourage you to come up with your own
archfey or at least make the archfey in question not
too significant for the entire Feywild. Walking into the
Feywild and meeting Titania is like walking into the
Shadowfell and immediately bumping into the Raven
Queen. It makes the world seem small and hurts
verisimilitude. Remember, the Feywild is an entire
world in and of itself and not just a single location.
Fighting archfey would be something reserved for
the highest levels, and even then sounds like a very
dangerous proposition for the PCs.
Examples
You don’t need this document if you want examples
of the more prominent archfey, even Wikipedia has a
pretty exhaustive list (see List of Dungeons &
Dragons fey deities), though it’s not really up-to-date
with current D&D. For some more concrete examples,
see the Monsters chapter (p. 47).
Quests
Archfey are often the primary movers behind a
Feywild adventure. They give out quests, offer
rewards, demand tributes, or simply order
outworlders around for their own amusement.
The primary reason an archfey might seek the
services of a party of outworlders has to do with the
unwritten laws. Outworlders are not bound by the
laws of the Feywild and are therefore free to claim
things that by right do not belong to them, free to lie
and deceive, free to take and not give back, and so
on. They're also not part of the endless conflict
between seelie and unseelie, which means one side
can use them to possibly gain an advantage against
the other.
That being said, a lot of archfey simply enjoy
messing with outworlders for no particular reason. If
the party wasn't summoned by an archfey but merely
runs into one or requests a favour, the archfey might
send them on a few quests for their own amusement.
Because of the rule of three, most quests will
consist of three parts. The following table gives some
examples of what these quests might be, though I
definitely encourage you to find quests tailored to the
archfey giving the quest.
25
Archfey Quests
d8 Quest
1 Pluck a talking flower which only grows at the
centre of a giant maze. The maze shifts constantly,
and confusion fills the mind of all who enters it.
Many confused creatures can be found endlessly
wandering its winding paths, completely oblivious
to where they are or what they’re doing there.
2 Steal a jewel from a minor archfey’s castle. The
jewel was lost in an ancient bet but is of great
personal value to the quest giver. Since the rules of
the Feywild forbid the archfey from taking it back
themselves, they need outsiders to steal it back.
3 Retrieve a necklace worn by a winter eladrin
(Arianel), who lives inside a cold, dark cave. Once
upon a time, her lover wished for a gift to rival her
unrivalled beauty and was given a cursed necklace
by an unseelie archfey. Because nothing could rival
her beauty, it turned Arianel invisible. Thinking her
gone, the lover traded away their life to lift the
curse. Arianel saw this happen but was unable to
stop it. The cave is formed by Arianel’s sadness,
and any fey who tries to enter it is overcome by the
same sadness.
4 Steal an apple from a hag coven. Once upon a
time, a young girl was given a magical apple by the
archfey. The young girl turned out to be a hag
baby. A fey cannot take back a gift, so the archfey
needs outworlders to reclaim the apple. The hag is
now part of a hag coven.
5 Find something truly boring. The archfey assumes
outworlders like the party would know about that
kind of stuff. Most mundane-looking objects in the
Feywild turn out to be surprisingly interesting,
making this harder than expected.
6 A giant the size of a mountain is overcome with
anger and destroying everything in her path. Calm
her down.
7 Remove the sword stuck in a stone in the middle of
a dark wood. The sword is made of iron and was
placed there in anger by a cold-hearted
outworlder. Its corrupting influence is what
darkened the surrounding woods.
8 Pluck a fruit from the tallest tree in a giant orchard.
The tree in question is over a kilometer tall. Its only
fruit grows at the very top. Various beasts live along
its trunk.

The Courts
Traditionally, the fey can be divided into two courts:
the Seelie Court and the Unseelie Court. The seelie
fey are generally friendlier, while the unseelie fey are
generally far more malicious.
The Seelie Court
The Seelie Court, also known as the Summer Court,
represents the seelie fey.
The name “Summer Court” is misleading, since the
dominion of the Summer Court isn’t necessarily
limited to Summer, and not everything in Summer
falls under its dominion. It simply rules over those
who follow the seelie way of life, which is associated
with the season of Summer. Since Autumn and
Spring are where Summer and Winter flow over into
each-other, seelie fey will also thrive in both.
Seelie fey aren’t necessarily good, but they're
generally friendlier than their unseelie brethren. They
are often willing to help out outworlders, or at least
give them a chance to prove themselves. That being
said, being associated with Summer does make them
quick to anger and fond of revelry. Their (mostly)
harmless seelie pranks will turn to torment if they
feel slighted or mistreated.
They also have a love for beauty, elegance, and
splendour. Ugliness is often considered worse than
malice, which can make it hard for some of the less
sightly outworlders to gain their favour.
The current ruler of the Seelie Court is Titania,
Queen of Summer (along with her consort Oberon).
She does not rule the seelie fey in any traditional
sense, nor are most seelie fey forced to obey her
commands. She is simply the most influential archfey
within the Summer Court and therefore has more
power over the Feywild and its workings than other
fey. Her will becomes law almost by default. Together
with her entourage of other Summer archfey and her
legions of sprites and pixies, she spends most of her
time throwing lavish parties.
Examples of seelie fey include most pixies, sprites,
centaurs, satyrs, and fey giants.
It’s possible to split the Summer Court and the
Seelie Court. In that case, the Summer Court would
be ruled by Tiandra and simply rule over the fey of
Summer, while the Seelie Court would function as
described above. 5e isn’t clear on this distinction,
and I personally feel it isn’t necessary.
26
The Unseelie Court
The Unseelie Court, also known as the Gloaming
Court, represents the unseelie fey.
The power of the Unseelie Court works in much
the same way as that of the Seelie Court. It rules over
those who follow the unseelie way of life. The current
ruler of the Gloaming Court is The Queen of Air and
Darkness.
Unseelie fey aren’t necessarily evil, but they tend to
be a lot crueler than their seelie brethren. Their ideas
of pranks often involve pain and torment, and their
idea of fun often involves taking away the fun of
others. This makes the seelie court a lot less
pleasant, ruled by fear and rife with internal conflict.
Examples of unseelie fey include redcaps,
meenlocks, quicklings, and fey trolls, as well as
rejected or maligned former seelie fey.
Some sources will differentiate between the
Unseelie Court and the Winter Court (which would
then be ruled by the Prince of Frost), while others
will consider them one and the same. I think making
them different courts is a lot more interesting. The
seelie-unseelie conflict (a conflict between fey) doesn’t
necessarily have to be the Summer-Winter conflict
(the primary conflict which shapes the Feywild), and
just because the Seelie Court and Summer Court are
the same doesn’t mean the Unseelie and Winter
Court have to be. Splitting them adds some political
nuance and allows for richer worldbuilding. Winter,
in this case, can be a lot more barren and desolate,
ruled by emotions like sadness and despair, while the
Unseelie fey thrive in Dusk, regardless of season.
Conflict
The unseelie fey despise the seelie fey’s way of life.
The bizarre Summer ideas of love and fun sicken
them. Similarly, the seelie fey tend to think of the
unseelie fey as cruel creatures, stealing the joy of
others and leaving nothing but ugliness in their
wake.
However, open warfare doesn’t tend to happen.
Most battles are fought through trickery and
mischief. A fight for control of a castle will almost
never involve an actual battle but might involve a
wager or challenge. Trying to get outworlders (like the
PCs!) to do something could definitely be part of this,
especially if it would involve breaking the rules of the
Feywild. Getting caught up in a wager between
archfey could be an interesting part of a Feywild
campaign.
Lesser Courts
While the Seelie Court and Unseelie Court are the
biggest and most dominant courts, the Feywild is
definitely big enough to allow for smaller gatherings
of powerful archfey.
An easy way of adding courts is to have one for
each season, i.e. the Autumn Court, Winter Court,
and Spring Court. A court for the seas, called the
Coral Court, is often added to this list.
Most smaller courts should still be either seelie or
unseelie, mostly because of their composition and not
because they’re directly ruled by one of the big
courts. It’s just that seelie and unseelie fey almost
never willingly cooperate. This also means you might
want to split the seasonal courts into a seelie and
unseelie. For example, the Autumn Court could be
split into a seelie court known as the Harvest Court
and an unseelie court known as the Court of Fear.
If you want some inspiration for coming up with
your own court, the Archfey Titles table (p. 24) works
for creating courts as well. Simply roll for either the
[adjective] Court or the Court of [Noun].
Courtless Fey
Not every fey has to belong to a court. For example,
most hags tend to be courtless, since their ugliness is
often too much for even the unseelie fey to deal with
(even though their methods would be perfectly
acceptable). These fey tend to form their own regions
and niches, away from any interference by the courts.
Religion
Very few gods concern themselves with the goings-on
of the Feywild. There is also little need for worship in
the Feywild. Outworlders pray in the hopes of
shaping reality in their favour, but the inhabitants of
only need to want something badly enough and the
Feywild itself will provide. Why turn to the gods when
you can be your own personal deity?
While the archfey can seem like gods, they are
worshiped more as leaders or teachers than as
deities, and nobody really prays to them. They were
referred to as fey deities in previous editions, but to
me this feels like trying to make the Feywild act like
any other plane. It’s far more interesting to have the
archfey not simply be gods with the usual priests and
temples.

27
Creatures of the Feywild
Like most worlds, the Feywild is home to many
different species. The traditional inhabitants of the
Feywild are called fey, fairies, or fair folk. Basically
any creature with the creature type fey has its origins
in the Feywild, but that doesn’t mean other types of
creatures can’t show up, either by being created
magically or by travelling through a fey crossing.
Eladrin
The eladrin are the elves of the Feywild. They were re-
introduced in Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, where
they have undergone quite a change from previous
editions. They’ve gone from very high elves in
previous editions to very weird elves in 5e. This
change brought them more in line with the rest of the
Feywild. They now have a strong connection to both
the seasons and emotion, which are two central
themes within the Feywild. Their ability to change
appearance based on their emotional state and the
Fey Step ability also helps them feel more connected
to the Feywild, mocking the idea of a rigid form or
location.
I won’t delve into the connection between the
eladrin and the Feywild since this has already been
done in Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. Definitely read
through the section on eladrin and the Feywild if
you’re interested. If you want your players to
encounter eladrin, stats for them can be found in
Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes as well.
If one of your players wants to play an eladrin,
stats for the player race can also be found in
Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes. I would suggest two
changes, though: change their creature type to fey
(the precedent for this has been set by the
Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica centaur) and add
Sylvan to their list of languages. These changes make
them more distinctly Feywild-based and bring them
more in line with their monster stats.
While the drawings of eladrin in MTF are great,
they lack a clear description, so here’s a quick one.
They have eyes without pupils or irises that glow a
certain colour based on an eladrin's current season:
yellow for summer, orange for autumn, blue for
winter, and green for spring. Leaves of their
respective season sprout from their hair. Their ears
are longer than their Material Plane brethren, and
they are also on average taller and lankier. Veins like
those of a leaf run along the side of their face.
Their entire colour scheme changes as they change
seasons. Their skin colour changes to roughly the
same colours as their eyes, but the tint can vary
greatly. The colour of their hair also tends to use the
same colours, but other colours are possible as long
as they correspond to the current season, like brown
for autumn or pink for spring.
They tend to dress to match their season, usually
in outfits inspired by the nature around them. City
eladrin often go barefooted and wear elaborate robes.
Changing seasons requires a long rest, which
makes sense from a gameplay perspective, but makes
it harder to role play emotional change as seasonal
change. One solution to this is to have the seasonal
change slowly take effect before the long rest. The
leaves in the hair of an eladrin changing to winter
might slowly start withering and falling and their
eyes and skin might start to turn blue. An eladrin
changing to summer might start glowing. Changing
the eye colour to the future season is also a great way
of indicating an emotional change.
Gnomes
Gnomes, like elves, have fey ancestry. However, their
connection to the Feywild in 5e is a lot less
pronounced. The 5e gnomes are a bit too normal-
looking for my tastes. Adding them as-is to the
Feywild seems like it would be doing it a disservice.
Taking a cue from 4e, the eyes of Feywild gnomes
could be either perfectly black or dark blue, lacking
irises and pupils like those of the eladrin. They
should also shine with faint magical energy.
To make them more unique and more fitting with
the nature-infused feel of the new eladrin, I’d also
suggest making their hair look like grass. This would
allow them to camouflage easily in patches of dirt or
tall grass. Some would wear flowers to their hair to
add to the illusion.
Gnomes within the Feywild live underground,
driven there after escaping their enslavement by the
fomorians. This would mean they wouldn’t often be
encountered when wandering the Feywild unless the
party is specifically looking for them or if the party
has something they might want. I suggest only
introducing gnomes if your party contains a gnome
or has frequent dealings with gnomes. Otherwise,
they’d probably feel pretty out of place.
28
Pixies and Sprites
Pixies and sprites are by far the most iconic
inhabitants of the Feywild. I won’t go into too much
detail on what they are and how they behave here
since the Monster Manual does a good job of this, In
short: pixies seek fun and excitement, love to prank,
and can often be heard giggling even when they’re
trying to hide. They are adept at magic, especially
illusions, and are generally opposed to violence.
Sprites are far more serious and combative and won’t
hesitate to attack someone they perceive as a danger
to themselves or the surrounding nature. They tend
to carry weapons and are adept at making poisons.
Pixies and sprites are perhaps the most common
sentient creatures in the Feywild, but their small size
and ability to go invisible might not make this
immediately obvious. It’s safe to assume that at any
point when wandering the Feywild at least some
sprites or pixies are spying on the party. Doing
something to anger a sprite or entice a pixie is the
easiest way to lure them out of hiding.
Sprites tend to be servants of an archfey. They act
as messengers, spies, and sometimes even soldiers.
Pixies serve another, perhaps far more important
function. They tend to be the shapers of the Feywild,
changing Summer leaves to brown, causing buds to
grow on Winter trees, creating frost on an autumn
lake, and so on. If an area changes season, it’s likely
that pixies are involved. The Feywild probably looks
the way it does because of both the magical and
emotional influence of these tiny agents of beauty
and chaos.

Satyrs
Satyrs (or fauns) are the other common inhabitant of
the Feywild. They’re goat-legged, goat-horned
humanoids who love nothing more than to revel. They
care for little more than their own amusement, and
often lure (or even kidnap) outworlders to join their
revelries.
Satyrs tend to live in groups, though only because
it’s easier to party this way. They usually don’t have a
strong attachment to a particular group and will
leave a revelry if they think more fun could be had
elsewhere. A wandering satyr will often be skipping
and loudly playing an instrument, oblivious to its
surroundings.
Stats and additional information can be found in
the Monster Manual.
Goblinoids & Brownies
Goblins are commonly associated with the realm of
the fae in folklore, so they definitely wouldn’t be out
of place in the Feywild. That being said, they’re kind
of the bread and butter of D&D enemies, and
including them would make the Feywild feel more
mundane. Perhaps a better option is to replace
goblins with brownies, using the same stats but with
the fey type instead of the goblinoid type.
Brownies look like small, ugly humanoids with
long noses and long pointy ears. They have a leathery
brown skin which is covered with varying levels of
hair, from the occasional small tufts to a complete
coat of fur. They either wear ragged clothing and
tattered hats or nothing at all.

29
 Brownies are helpful but mischievous fey. They
tend to do chores for those who treat them well, but
mistreating them will rouse their ire. Their
punishments are usually more annoying than
harmful, though it is often hard for any fey to know
the difference when dealing with outworlders.
Presenting them with clothing is considered an insult
and will incur a similar vengeance.
Groups of free-roaming brownies are always on the
lookout for people to prank or annoy. They do not
consider their own actions mean-spirited or harmful,
so anyone who tries to intervene will be considered a
hostile threat that must be dealt with using more
serious (but often still humorous) means.
Centaurs
Official D&D apparently doesn’t know what it wants
to do with centaurs. They’ve been both fey and
monstrosities in previous edition, and in 5e their
monster type is monstrosity (even though they speak
Sylvan), but the playable race in the Guildmaster’s
Guide to Ravnica has the fey type. They come from
the same mythological traditions as satyrs, and
definitely fit into the theme of the Feywild, so it would
be weird to leave them out.
Centaurs are a prime candidate for being the
serious fey. While most of the other fey are carefree
and mischievous, the noble centaur is more
disciplined and duty-bound. They are shepherds of
nature, planting, cultivating, and defending the
feywild’s rich flora. This doesn’t mean all centaurs
should be serious all the time. Younger centaurs
especially can be more playful, merrily skipping
through the woods and making garlands out of
flowers.
Giants
Giants both fit the folklore theme of the Feywild as
well as the stuff-is-bigger theme, making them a
perfect match for the Feywild. The giants of the
Feywild are, however, a lot gentler than the MM
would suggest. They tend to be friendly and caring, in
tune with the surrounding nature. As expected, they
prefer the mountain regions of the Feywild, where
they act as guardians and keepers, nurturing the
mountains in ways that won’t make any sense to
someone from the Material Plane. That being said, a
Jack and the Beanstalk-type giant would definitely fit
right in. Just be sure to have it speak in rhyme or
give it some other quirk.
Ogres and trolls are also part of the giant family
and are also quite at home in the Feywild. While
they’re obviously unseelie, I advise you to make them
at least seem quirky and not just evil. Especially for
trolls, traditional folklore elements like riddles and a
bridge toll are fun ways of introducing them as more
than just generic monsters.
Of special note here are the fomorians, tyrant
rulers of the Feydark. They were cursed for their
wickedness and banished to the underdark of the
Feywild. More information about them, as well as
stats, can be found in the Monster Manual.
30
Hags
There are a lot of resources out there about running
hags. They’re far too interesting for me to do them
justice in just a single paragraph. Volo’s Guide to
Monsters is a good place to start if you want to know
more. I did include a few hag items (most notably a
bunch of potions) in the chapter on objects and
weapons.
Hags tend to travel to the Material Plane to
reproduce, stealing a human child and replacing it
with a hag baby. When in the Feywild, they prefer
regions shrouded in Dusk, and especially Autumn
forests and swamps.
The following hags can be found in the Feywild.
This list excludes night hags since they live in Hades.
Outworlders
Outworlders (anyone from outside of the Feywild) are
relatively rare. However, they do tend to draw a lot of
attention to themselves, which often makes them feel
more prominent than they are. Many fey love nothing
more than to mess with outworlders, both because
it’s a unique experience and because their presence
causes an emotional disturbance which the Feywild
itself would try to fix.
Of the outworlders, elves are the most likely to fit
in. Their fey origins make them not stand out as
much, and their connection to both magic and
nature would allow them to quickly adapt to the
workings of the Feywild.

Animals
When fey spirits are conjured in the form of an

Plane counterpart. Therefore, one could assume

Objects and Weapons
This chapter lists some interesting objects for the
party to find when wandering the Feywild.
Natural Objects
Barometz Seed
Seed, uncommon
A fuzzy seed which grows into a Barometz plant, a
small tree which grows sheep.
After being planted, it will become fully grown in
4d12 hours or half as long if the planter makes a DC
12 Charisma (Performance) check speaking kind
words to it. When fully grown, it grows 1d4 bark-
horned, grass-coated sheep.
Feywild Apple
Wonderous food, common
An apple from the Feywild. It is bright red and double
the size of a regular apple. Eating it takes an action
and restores 1d4 +1 hit points and restores 1 point of
exhaustion.
Slanderous Gourd
Wonderous food, common
A mysterious gourd which grows within the dark
Autumn woods of the Feywild.
When picked up, a jagged face etched into it
appears, which then starts insulting the bloodline of
whoever picked it up.
33
Berries
Most plants in the Feywild can grow berries, though
they are most common in Autumn. Finding berries
can sometimes be a bit tricky, since most plants only
grow them rarely. They come in all shapes, colours,
and sizes.
As with all things in the Feywild, berries tend to be
infused with magic. Eating one will usually cause a
magical effect (see the table below), and the effect
may even differ between berries of the same plant. A
faerie might be able to help identify the effect of a
specific berry, but this will often be at a price. The
identify spell can also be used to suss out its effect,
though one would need to identify each berry
individually.
Berry Effects
d12 Effect
1 Sleep. You fall unconscious for the next hour until
you take damage, or until someone uses an
action to shake or slap you awake.
2 Confuse. For 1d6 turns, at the start of each turn,
roll a d10. (See the confusion spell.)
3 Poison. You are poisoned for the next 1d6 turns.
4 Silence. You cannot speak for 1d6 turns.
5 Reduce. Your size is halved for 1d6 turns. (See
the reduce spell.)
6 Nothing. Nothing
7 Magic Surge. Roll on the Feywild wild magic
table.
8 Levitate. You levitate 20 ft. above ground for the
next 1d6 turns. (See the levitate spell.)
9 Extra Fresh. You can breathe cold air for 1d6
turns. (See the dragon’s breath spell.)
10 Brighten. You glow green for 1d6 turns. (See the
faerie fire spell).
11 Enlarge. Your size is doubled for 1d6 turns. (See
the reduce spell.)
12 Heal. Restore 1d6 + 2 hit points.
Magic Items
Bag of Bearing
Wondrous item, uncommon
This small bag has an interior space somewhat larger
than its outside dimensions, but this interior feels
moist and acidic. This is because it leads to the
inside of a bear.
Everything put inside the bag is stored within the
stomach of a giant fey bear which roams the Autumn
woods of the Feywild. The bag can hold up to 20
pounds, not exceeding a volume of 5 cubic feet. The
bag weighs 3 pounds, regardless of its contents. Non-
consumable objects will not be digested or excreted.
Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.
All the usual bag of holding rules and restrictions
apply. Please don't turn it inside out.
Bottle of Winds
Wondrous item, rare
A seemingly empty bottle. When it is opened by
removing the plug, strong winds blow out of the
opening. The wind exerts no force on the bottle itself.
Each creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of
where the opening is facing must succeed on a DC 12
Strength saving throw or be pushed 5 feet away from
it. Any creature must spend 2 feet of movement for
every 1 foot it moves when moving against the wind.
The wind disperses gas or vapour, and it
extinguishes candles, torches, and similarly
unprotected flames in the area.
To plug the bottle, a DC 12 Strength check is
required.
Cloak of Woven Wind
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
A cloak that looks like swirling clouds. While it can
be manipulated as if made of cloth, touching it feels
like heavy winds moving past your fingers.
Once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to
cover yourself with the cloak. When you do, you turn
into a gust of wind and may move up to 60 feet (this
uses your movement for the turn), after which you
turn back. Any creature that was standing along your
path must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be
pushed 10 feet along your path and be knocked
prone. If there’s a strong wind affecting the area
you’re moving through, you must follow its path.
Heartshot Arrow
Wondrous ammunition, rare
An ornate wooden arrow with a sharpened pink gem
as an arrowhead.
After the arrow is shot from a bow, when it comes
to a complete stop, it disappears into a cloud of pink
smoke and sparkles. It reappears completely intact at
the precise location from which it was shot as soon
as that space is unoccupied, after which it hovers for
6 seconds before falling to the ground.
A creature struck by this arrow has to make a DC
12 Wisdom saving throw or becomes charmed by the
first creature it sees for the next minute or until it is
dealt damage by that creature.
Jar of Shame Dirt
Wondrous item, rare
This earthen jar is filled with dark red dirt. When the
dirt comes into contact with a creature's face, it has
to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be
overcome with shame for the next minute. If the
target’s Intelligence is 5 or lower, it automatically
succeeds.
While overcome with shame, a creature has
disadvantage on all Charisma checks and Charisma
saving throws and is frightened of every creature
within 5 feet.
The jar has enough dirt for three handfuls.
Throwing the dirt requires an action.
Mountain Seed
Wondrous item, rare
This seemingly normal-looking rock will grow into a
small mountain when planted. The mountain sprouts
an hour after being planted, and grows roughly 10 m
(30 ft) in diameter and 3 m (10 ft) in height per hour.
However, the mountain needs constant
encouragement. A DC 18 Charisma (Persuasion)
check is required after it sprouts and every two hours
after. If this check fails or no check is made, the
mountain feels discouraged and starts shrinking at
twice its growth rate (until it shrinks back to the size
of a seed). The same thing happens if the mountain’s
growth causes significant sadness.
It reaches a maximum diameter of 400 m (1200 ft)
and a height of 120 m (400 ft) after 60 hours.
34
Pixie Dust
Wondrous item, rare
A small vial containing the dust left behind by a
pixie. It contains enough dust to sprinkle on three
creatures.
When some pixie dust is sprinkled on a creature, it
gains a flying speed of 30 feet while it is thinking
happy thoughts. This effect lasts for one hour.
When damaged, a flying creature must make a
Wisdom saving throw. The DC equals 12 or half the
damage taken, whichever number is higher. If it fails
the save, it ceases being happy and falls to the
ground.
Ring of Gathering Fire
Ring, uncommon (requires attunement)
A translucent, faintly glowing red ring shaped like a
continuous ray of fire.
While wearing the ring, you can pick up, carry,
and set down small flames as though they were
physical objects without being burned. The fire
requires no fuel while you carry it, but once out of
your hand requires fuel as normal.
While wearing the ring, the hand it is on is
immune to fire damage.
Spider Wig
Wondrous item, rare
A dirty, unkempt wig popular among hags.
While wearing the wig, it grows one spider per
hour. It can hold up to five spiders and stops growing
new ones if it’s full. You can use an action or bonus
action to pick a spider from the wig. The spiders act
like regular spiders and do not feel compelled to obey
you.
Close examination of the wig, even with an identify
spell, gives no clue as to where the spiders come
from.
Treeform Necklace
Wondrous item, uncommon
Once per day, the wearer can use an action to
become a tree with roughly the same proportions as
the wearer. They can use a bonus action to stop
being a tree.
35
Staff of the Twilight
Staff, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
Maximum charges 9
Recharge 1d12 after a long rest
A tall wooden staff. Its colours shift based on how
much light is hitting it. Illuminated parts of the staff
look orange or crimson, darkened parts purple or
blue.
After every long rest, choose either trick or treat.
You can cast any of the spells belonging to that
choice using your spellcasting ability and this staff as
a spellcasting focus.
• Trick. You can cast silent image (2 charges),
dissonant whispers (3 charges), and enemies
abound (5 charges).
• Treat. You can cast bless (2 charges), cure wounds
(3 charges), and create food and water (5 charges).
After casting a trick or treat spell, roll 1d20. If you
roll equal to or lower than the number of total spent
charges, roll on the Feywild wild magic table. Any
spell slots or sorcery points you would gain as a
result become charges instead.
You can spend a charge after using the staff to
knock on a door of a building. If you do, the occupant
closest to the door must make a DC 13 Wisdom
saving throw or feel compelled to open the door. If the
occupant would be hostile towards you, it has
advantage on this throw.
Woebegone Wand
Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
Maximum charges 3
Recharge 1 charge per hour it spends below freezing
A clear wand of unmeltable ice.
While holding the wand, you can use an action to
expend 1 charge, causing snowflakes to fall in a 15-
foot cube you can see within 90 feet. Any creature
within that area must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw against your spell save DC or become overcome
with sadness. While overcome with sadness,
whenever a creature tries to perform an action
(including movement), it has a 30% (1–6 on a d20)
chance of skipping that action instead. A creature
with an Intelligence of 2 or less or which is immune
to being charmed cannot be affected by this effect. As
an action (without the 30% fail rate), a sad creature
can make another Wisdom saving throw to try and
end its sadness.
Seasonal Weapons
These are weapons designed to play up the seasonal
theme of the Feywild. The Summer and Winter
weapons are fairly straightforward, while the Autumn
and Spring ones reference the traditional imagery of
their respective seasons.
Eladrin attuned to these weapons automatically
change season, but if your party would be willing to
play along, you can easily make the sword affect all
creatures in a similar way. The Sword of Eternal
Summer could make the bearer more passionate and
energetic, while the Sword of Unending Winter could
make them sad and depressed.
These weapons don’t have to be swords and can
easily be changed to suit whatever scenario or
character you have in mind. Some esoteric weapons
like a sickle or a scythe could be fun.
Sword of Eternal Summer
Longsword, rare (requires attunement)
A fey longsword that constantly radiates bright red
light. The blade seems to be made of a translucent
material, though it is very hard to see through the
glow.
The sword sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius
and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
Attacks made with this weapon deal an additional
1d4 radiant damage.
Any creature damaged by this weapon sheds dim
red light in a 10-foot radius for the next minute. Its
outline becomes visible even through illusions and it
can't benefit from being invisible.
An eladrin attuned to this sword becomes aligned
to summer and cannot change season.
Sword of Everlasting Autumn
Longsword, rare (requires attunement)
A fey longsword with a wooden blade. Swinging the
sword leaves a trail of falling autumn leaves which
slowly fall to the ground and then dissipate. 
Putting the blade into earthen ground for at least
10 minutes causes mushrooms to grow around it in a
circle with a diameter of roughly 5ft. The type of
mushroom depends on the environment.
Attacks made with this weapon deal an additional
1d4 necrotic damage and you gain hit points equal to
the damage dealt in this way.
An eladrin attuned to this sword becomes aligned
to autumn and cannot change season.
Sword of Unending Winter
Longsword, rare (requires attunement)
A fey longsword covered in frost which, when wiped
away, reveals a clear blade made out of solid ice. The
blade does not seem to melt at even the highest of
temperatures. It feels extremely cold to the touch and
prolonged contact causes frostbite.
The blade freezes everything it touches. When put
in water, it will turn water within a radius of 5 feet
into solid ice. The blade is sharp enough to be pulled
out of this ice assuming the hilt can still be pulled.
Attacks made with this weapon deal an additional
1d4 cold damage.
Hit points lost to this weapon cannot be healed at
a temperature below 21°C/70°F.
An eladrin attuned to this sword becomes aligned
to winter and cannot change season.
Sword of Ceaseless Spring
Longsword, rare (requires attunement)
A fey longsword with a pink crystal blade and a
handle wrapped in ivy. Swinging the sword leaves a
trail of cherry blossom leaves which slowly fall to the
ground and then disappear. 
Putting the blade into a patch of grass for at least
10 minutes causes flowers to grow within 5ft of the
sword. The type of flower depends on the
environment.
Attacks made with this weapon deal an additional
1d4 psychic damage.
Any creature damaged by this weapon has
disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other
than you until the end of its next turn.

Hag Potions
These potions are created by hags. Since they’re
mostly made by throwing various animal parts
together and hoping for the best, they’re not quite as
finely crafted or calibrated as those made by
alchemists and the likes.
The general design behind these is that they give a
positive effect combined with an involuntary negative
effect caused by the positive effect. Be careful what
you wish for and all that.
Their effect duration is also quite random and
cannot be determined until drunk. I've defaulted to
2d6 minutes for these, but you're of course free to
change this.
If you want to up the randomness of the potion,
consider having the potion heal (1d12 – 1d8) damage,
which would make it capable of both healing or
hurting whoever drinks it.
Potion of Aviation
Potion, rare
A purple potion which is perfectly buoyant with the
surrounding air.
After drinking this potion, you gain a flying speed
of 60 feet when going up or sideways for the next 2d6
minutes. Your falling speed is reduced to 5 feet/turn
while under the effects of this potion.
Potion of Commotion
Potion, rare
A volatile red potion which forms ripples even when
held perfectly still.
After drinking this potion, any creature that can
see you at the start of its turn (including your allies)
must succeed on a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw. If
it fails, it must use its action before moving on each
of its turns to make a melee attack against a creature
other than itself (if possible).
Unless surprised, a creature can avert its eyes to
avoid the saving throw at the start of its turn. If the
creature sees you afterward, it must immediately
make the save. If it fails, it must spend its next
available action that turn to make the melee attack.
The potion’s effect wears off after 2d6 minutes.
37
Potion of Contortion
Potion, uncommon
A gooey green potion. It’s quite viscous, but not at all
sticky.
After drinking this potion, your body becomes
impossibly flexible for the next 2d6 minutes. Even
your bones seem unusually bendy. While under the
effect of this potion, you have disadvantage on
Strength and Constitution checks and saving throws,
but have advantage on Dexterity checks and saving
throws.
Potion of Domination
Potion, rare
A viscous dark red potion. It feels heavy.
After drinking this potion, your Strength score
increases by 6 (your modifier increases by 3) for the
next 2d6 minutes. Your body, however, is not used to
this new-found strength. Any time you interact with a
breakable object or ally you need to make a DC 14
Intelligence saving throw or end up either damaging
or breaking it.
Potion of Locomotion
Potion, uncommon
A constantly swirling blue potion.
After drinking this potion, your movement speed is
doubled for the next 2d6 minutes. You are however
not accustomed to this incredible speed. Every time
you try to turn more than 45 degrees or try to stop
before using all your movement in a given turn, you
need to make a DC 14 Intelligence saving throw or
end up continuing straight ahead. If you end up
colliding with something, both you and whatever you
hit take 2d6 bludgeoning damage.
Potion of Observation
Potion, rare
A clear potion filled with small sparkling specks.
After drinking this potion, you see through walls
and solid objects up to 5 feet thick for the next 2d6
minutes, but not through liquids. This effect is not
voluntary, which means for the duration of the effect
you can only see liquids (this includes the insides of
most creatures), and objects which are more than 5
feet thick.
Fey Magic
The Feywild, being a plane of magic, should have its
own unique quirks and spells. This chapter contains
a few those things I couldn’t fit in anywhere else.
Fey Spells
Some spells are unique to the Feywild, or at least
closely related to it. Archfey are able to grant magical
powers, so it would make sense for them to also be
able to create new spells.
I advise you to only hand these spells out for story
reasons or through magic items. If you do want to
make them available as default spells, I suggest only
adding them to the druid, college of glamour bard,
nature domain cleric, wild magic sorcerer, and
warlock of the archfey spell lists.
Channel Chaos
1st-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: Instantaneous
You channel the chaotic energy of the Feywild and
cause wild magic to surge within you. Roll on the
Feywild wild magic table.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional
d100 for every slot above 1st. Choose one of the
rolled eff ects and ignore the others.
Faerie Form
4th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: S, M (a tooth and diamond dust worth
at least 20 gp, both of which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
You take on the form of a pixie, and everything you
carry with you shrinks to match your new size. You
gain the Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution of a
pixie, as well as its speed, magic resistance, and
superior invisibility ability. Any damage your
weapons would deal becomes 1. You turn back as
soon as you take any damage, and the damage
carries over to your normal form.
Intensify Emotion
2nd-level enchantment
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 ft.
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
You attempt to intensify the emotions of a group of
people. Each humanoid in a 20-foot-radius sphere
centred on a point you choose within range must
make a Charisma saving throw; a creature can
choose to fail this saving throw if it wishes. If a
creature fails its saving throw, any emotions it was
feeling are greatly intensified, and the creature starts
openly expressing those emotions if it wasn’t already
doing so. Alternatively, choose one of the following
effects.
• If a target is hostile towards a creature of your
choice, you can make it frightened of that creature
for the duration of the spell.
• If a target is not hostile towards a creature of your
choice, you can make it charmed by that creature
for the duration of the spell.
A frightened or charmed target can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the effect on itself on a success.
When the spell ends, the creature goes back to its
original emotional state, unless the GM rules
otherwise.
Lesser Wish
3rd-level conjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self
Components: V
Duration: 24 hours
Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can
cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the
very foundations of reality in accord with your
desires. This isn’t it.
By speaking aloud, you summon a pixie or other
fey creature of the DM’s choice. This creature’s sole
purpose is to fulfil the caster’s wish, and it will do
anything it can to do so. It does not take orders and
doesn’t usually listen to suggestions. It disappears
after it feels it has fulfilled the wish or after 24 hours.
38
Seasonal Shift
2nd-level transmutation (ritual)
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 120 ft.
Components: V, S, M (a fl ower petal for spring, a
blade of grass for summer, a fallen leaf for autumn,
or a pine needle for winter)
Duration: 1 hour
A 20-foot-tall cylinder with a 40-foot radius centred
on a point you choose within range slowly becomes
affected by a season of your choice. These changes
take the full hour to completely take effect, although
the effect is immediately noticeable. After the hour,
all magic fades and nature slowly takes back control.
• Spring. All plants within the area rejuvenate
and start blooming. Flowers start growing where
there is suitable soil.
• Summer. The temperature within the area rises
substantially. Ice melts; Rain, snow, hail and
other precipitation stops; and any leaves within the
area become green.
• Autumn. Leaves of deciduous trees within the area
turn brown and some start falling. All fruits and
vegetables grow ripe enough to be harvested.  • Each creature uses
• Winter. The temperature within the area drops to
below freezing. Snow starts falling, water freezes,
and plants and the leaves of deciduous
trees shrivel.
Tree Shape
2nd-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: S
Duration: instantaneous
You touch a tree, causing it to bend and twist as you
see fit. It can be used to block a path, support a
structure, or even to attack or trap an enemy.
You can use the tree to make a melee spell attack
against a creature within 10 ft. of the tree. On a hit,
the creature either takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage
or becomes grappled (the escape DC is equal to spell
save DC).
39
Winds of Change
5th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 ft.
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
A strange and colourful wind starts blowing within a
100-foot cube that you can see within range. The
wind affect each creature it touches in strange and
unusual ways.
Any creature within the cube or which enters the
cube for the first time has to make a Charisma saving
throw. If they succeed, they are unaffected by any of
the effects of this spell.
As a reaction, if a creature within the cube is
about to perform an action, you can say the word
“change” to force it to perform a different action. An
attack action can be replaced with an attack action
against a different target, a spell can be replaced with
a different spell.
While the winds of change are blowing, the
following effects occur within the cube. The wind
doesn't affect creatures or objects it isn’t touching.
- Intelligence instead of Strength,
- Dexterity instead of Wisdom,
- Charisma instead of Constitution,
and vice-versa for ability checks and saving throws.
(Feel free to use this for roleplay purposes as well.)
• Bludgeoning damage becomes psychic damage,
piercing damage becomes force damage,
slashing damage becomes acid damage
fire damage becomes cold damage,
lightning damage becomes thunder damage,
radiant damage becomes necrotic damage,
and vice-versa. (Poison damage remains unchanged.)
• Each charmed creature is frightened instead and
vice-versa.

Fey Bargains
Often when asking a fey for a favour they’ll want
something in return. A gift for a gift and all that. For
the same reason, they’ll often be willing to offer a
reward when given something they desire. These
bargains almost always involve seemingly intangible
things, like a bit of love or a happy thought. Since
there is no difference between emotion and reality
within the Feywild, these things are considered as
tangible and fungible as anything physical would be
in the Material Plane.
A fey will almost never voluntarily explain what
either end of a bargain means. This isn’t always
because they’re being malicious, but also because
the fey are cryptic by nature, and because they’re
often unable to explain it in terms that would make
sense to a Material Plane brain. Don’t be afraid to
have the fey elaborate on what is being exchanged, as
long as you keep it vague, confusing, and completely
unhelpful.
In addition to the more esoteric things, a fey might
also want something with a lot of sentimental value.
A gift from a lost lover or a treasured memento are
excellent bargaining chips in the Feywild.
As inspiration for what a fey might offer or want,
I’ve included two tables. For both tables, the left
column gives the words a fey might use to describe
that end of the bargain, while the right column
indicates what is actually being offered.
For the costs table, the last eight options (the ones
on the next page) are roleplaying costs. If you don’t
think your players would willingly play along with
them, I’d suggest not offering them as part of a trade.
Only a greater restoration spell can remove the
negative effects of a fey bargain, but this will be
interpreted as breaking an oath, and will at the very
least incur the wrath of the fey in question, if not the
whole of the Feywild.
Fey Bargains — Costs
d20 Cost Meaning
1 Some magic If you’re a spellcaster, you lose a
1st-level spell slot.
2 A bit of luck Whenever you roll with advantage
and one of the rolls is a 1, the result
of that roll is 1.
3 Resilience You permanently lose one hit die.
You also lose maximum hit points
equal to the average value of that
die, rounded up.
4 Some charm You have a -2 penalty to persuasion
checks. If you are proficient in
Persuasion, you lose this proficiency
instead.
5 Some skill You lose proficiency in a skill or tool
of the DM’s choice in which you do
not have expertise.
6 Knowledge You lose all access to a spell of the
DM’s choice. If you can’t cast spells,
you have a -2 penalty to History
checks or lose proficiency in History
instead if you were proficient in it.
7 Ancestry You lose one racial trait (other than
ability score increases, age,
alignment, size, speed, or
languages) of the DM’s choice.
8 Attention You have a -5 penalty to your
passive Wisdom (Perception) and
passive Intelligence (Investigation)
scores.
9 Scepticism You have disadvantage on saves
against being charmed and on
checks to determine if something is
an illusion.

10 Rest Every short rest you take has a 1 in

10 chance of having no effect. (Roll
a d10 at the end of every short rest.
On a 1 the short rest failed.)

11 Urgency Any base speed you might have is

reduced by 5 feet.

12 Readiness You have a -2 penalty on initiative

rolls.

13 A true story One interesting event, encounter,
quest, or background element
chosen by the DM seemingly no
longer happened: all objects
obtained during it are lost and all
consequences of it are reversed in a
way which leaves the fewest ripples.
Only the PC still remembers it.
14 Friendship An NPC friend of the DM’s choice
now hates you utterly and
completely.
15 A memory You lose all memory of a specific
event.
16 Hope You lose all hope that a personal
quest will ever succeed or a
personal goal will ever be reached,
as chosen by the DM.
17 Taste Everything now tastes exactly like
spiceless chicken to you… except
for chicken, which tastes like
nothing you’ve ever tasted before.
18 Warmth You no longer seem to generate any
body heat. Your breath causes frost
instead of fog when blowing at a
window.
19 Ignorance You suddenly know a fact about
something or someone which
completely changes your opinion of
that person or thing (or perhaps
even your worldview in general) for
the worse. Ignorance really was
bliss.
20 Love You no longer love one person,
object, or cause, as chosen by the
DM.

Fey Bargains — Rewards

feat.
2 Fey words You learn Sylvan. If you’re a
spellcaster, you gain the ability to
cast healing word as if you always
have it prepared.
3 Persistence You have advantage against death
saving throws.
4 Stability You have advantage on Dexterity
(Acrobatics) checks when trying to
keep your balance and you cannot
be knocked prone, ever.
5 Expertise Double your proficiency bonus in a
skill or tool of your choice that you
are already proficient in.
6 Possibility Once per long rest, you can re-roll
all dice of an ability check you just
failed but which could've
succeeded, but on the second roll
the DC is changed to 20.
7 Safety Once per short or long rest, you
may choose to have advantage on a
saving throw.
8 Control Once per long rest, when asked to
make an ability check, you can
choose to make a Charisma
(Persuasion) check instead.
9 Courage You gain immunity to the frightened
condition.
10 Freedom Once per long rest, you can cast the
freedom of movement spell on
yourself, without paying any costs.
11 Change You may reassign up to 2 of your
ability scores (up to the maximum,
usually 20), change one cantrip, and
change one class or subclass option
(e.g. a battle manoever, invocation
or metamagic option).
12 Information DM: fill in a part of the PC’s
backstory or give some critical plot
information. Have this knowledge
suddenly appear rather than having
the faerie tell it.

Monsters
Introduction
There is sadly a dearth of fey creatures available in
official material. I’m afraid I can’t offer too much help
with this yet, but I can offer you some archfey and
giant insect statblocks.
Some of these monsters have a “twist”. This is an
extra action or ability which unlocks a a certain
point, often when a condition is met. This is here to
both make combat more engaging and unpredictable
as well as to play up with weirdness of the Feywild.
Archfey
These are the masters of the Feywild, beings of
immense magic, and some of the most formidable
foes the party might face (see p. 23 for more
information). Trying to defeat or even kill an archfey
is usually a fool’s errand, and these statblocks are
designed to reflect this. All of these break at least
some implicit or even fundamental rules.
Note that these archfey tend to have little or no
damaging spells. their CR rating is therefore quite
arbitrary (more so than usual, at least) and should
not be taken as an indication of how beatable they
are. A well-prepared party might stand a chance, an
unprepared party probably won’t come close.
An archfey won’t usually try to kill or even hurt the
PCs. Outworlders are far too interesting for that. A
successful fight from an archfey’s point of view tends
to involve the PCs being bound to them in some way.
An archfey won’t easily lose either. Reducing one to
0 hit points will normally cause them to disappear
and reform somewhere else within the Feywild.
The Apple Tree Man
Fear Quert, the Apple Tree Man, looks like a bark-
skinned old man with a leafy beard. He usually
shows up by stepping out of the oldest tree in an
orchard and can freely move between the oldest tree
of any orchard.
He’s a kind and gentle archfey who helps farmers
in need with their crops. Farmers sometimes pay him
tribute by leaving gifts next to the oldest tree in their
orchard, in the hopes that he will bless them with a
good harvest.
Within the Feywild, he lives mostly in Autumn, the
season of harvest and goodwill.

different saving throw to break), and can innately cast the
following spells at will, requiring no components:
Druidcraft, plant growth, entangle, barkskin
Magic Resistance. The man has advantage on saving
throws against spells and other magical effects.
Superior Tree Stride. Once on his turn, the man can use 10
feet of his movement to step magically into one living tree
within his reach and emerge from a second living tree within
120 feet of the first tree, appearing in an unoccupied space
within 5 feet of the second tree. Both trees must be Large or
bigger. If the tree is the oldest tree within 120 feet, the man
can move to another oldest tree anywhere, on any plane.
Actions
Awaken Tree. A tree within 60 feet of the man becomes an
awakened tree loyal to the man until dismissed.
Apple Growth. The man touches a tree and it grows 2d6
Feywild apples (see p. 33).

Twist
Regrow. When the man drops to 0 hit points, his body is
absorbed into the earth and reforms out of the oldest tree
within 120 feet. The new body has 3d8 + 12 hit points.

The Grand Duke of Vainglory
The Grand Duke of Vainglory embodies vanity. He
loves nothing more than his own image and is
obsessed with depictions of himself. His followers
tend to be lovers of all things beautiful, and they
adore him absolutely,
He has a beautiful elven face, bright pink skin,
purple hair, and pitch black eyes with pupils which
resemble a swirling galaxy. Once someone looks into
those eyes, it is almost impossible for them to look
away. He dresses in elaborate robes with far more
ruffles than could ever be practical.

saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Unassailable Vanity. The grand duke cannot be damaged
while there is a medium or larger, visible image of him
within 120 feet.
Superior Innate Spellcasting. The grand duke’s innate
spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 24). He can
concentrate on multiple spells at once (each requires a
different saving throw to break), and can innately cast the
following spells at will, requiring no components:
1st level: charm person, command
2nd level: enthrall, crown of madness
3rd level: counterspell, dispel magic, remove curse
5th level: dream (can only send himself)
The Grand Duke lives in a giant castle in Spring’s
Dusk, filled with portraits and statues of himself. His
face is etched into every door and every window
contains a stained glass image of himself. His eladrin
servants are almost as fanatically obsessed with him
as he is.
The grand duke’s strategy in a battle is usually to
have each member of the party fall deeply in love with
him. If this fails, he will have his new followers deal
with the nonbeliever.
An enthralled party can be let go, but their love of
the grand duke will linger, perhaps for eternity.
Charming Aura. Each creature of the grand duke’s choice
that starts its turn within 120 feet of the grand duke and is
aware of him must succeed on a DC 24 Wisdom saving
throw or become charmed for 1 minute. A charmed
creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of
its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a
creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for
it, the creature is immune to the grand duke’s Charming
Presence for the next 24 hours.
Painting Stride. Once on each of his turns, the grand duke
can use 10 feet of his movement to step into a medium or
larger painting of himself and emerge from another large
painting of himself.
Actions
Multispell. The grand duke casts multiple spells per turn
as long as their total level is less than 4.
Legendary Actions
The grand duke can take 3 legendary actions, choosing
from the options below. Only one legendary action option
can be used at a time and only at the end of another
creature's turn. The grand duke regains spent legendary
actions at the start of his turn.
Cast a spell. The grand duke casts casts a spell of 2nd level
or lower from his spell list that takes 1 action to cast.
Twist
The twist activates as soon as there are no images of the
grand duke visible within 120 feet of him.
Seeming. The grand duke can now cast the spell seeming
(5th level) at will. (Note that he can make the targets look
like images of himself, thereby making him invulnerable as
long as they’re visible.)

The Lady of Falling Leaves
Fynhar, the Lady of Falling Leaves, is closely
associated with the season of autumn. She embodies
the bittersweet feelings of moving on, of looking back
at what you’re leaving behind and looking forward to
new beginnings. She loves the beginning of stories,
yet rarely cares for the end.
She looks like a large eladrin, with dark orange
skin and pupilless eyes which glow orange. Her hair
is seemingly made of soft branches and she is clad in
robes of autumn leaves. Both her hair and robes
seem to be constantly shedding leaves which
dissipate as soon as they touch the ground. Even

Reactive. The lady can take one reaction on every turn in a
combat.
Actions
Change of Fate. One character of the lady’s choice with 60
feet has to make a DC 23 Charisma saving throw. On a
failed save, change one of the following aspects of the
target: prepared spell list, up to 5 known spells, the weapon
they’re holding (to something of similar strength), or any
physical attribute. Alternatively, the target has to re-roll
their ability scores. The change has to be reasonable, as if

though they never seem to grow back, the number of
leaves seems to remain constant.
As a seelie fey associated with Autumn, she tends
to be friendly and giving, and to her, change is the
greatest gift of all. She’ll often try to intervene if she
thinks a situation has remained constant and
unchanging for a long time. Her followers are
instructed to change things, whether it be redirecting
the flow of a river, helping someone turn over a new
leaf, or completely upending an entire empire.
The lady will usually try to have some fun with a
party trying to take her on. Once they’ve had enough,
she might send them on a few (usually 3) quests.
it presents an alternate reality. (It’s best to prepare for
these changes in advance.) The lady can revert any change
as a bonus action.
Bonus Actions
Leafy Step. As a bonus action or as a reaction in response
to taking damage, the lady can disappear in a cloud of
falling leaves and reappear in an unoccupied space within
120 feet.
Reactions
Change! After a creature the lady can see has declared an
action, the lady can force that creature to make a DC 23
Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, that creature has
to choose a different action. An attack action can be
replaced with an attack action against a different target, a
spell can be replaced with a different spell.
Leafy Step.
Legendary Actions
The lady can take 2 legendary action. Only one legendary
action option can be used at a time and only at the end of
another creature's turn. The lady regains spent legendary
actions at the start of his turn.
Leave! One creature or object of the lady’s choice within
reappears in an unoccupied space within 60 feet of its
original location.
Twist
Change of Scenery (Recharge 5—6). As an action, the lady
can shroud the area within 200 feet of her in a thick
magical fog until the start of her next turn. The entire area
becomes heavily obscured for the duration. As the fog
clears, every creature within the area is transported to an
entirely new location, as if someone had quickly changed
the decor.

The Wild Child
The Wild Child, also known as the Prince of Beasts,
is an archfey who embodies a love of animals and of
the animal kingdom. He usually takes the form of a
young elven boy, clad in furs and wearing a furry
hood with deer antlers.
The child lives in his own personal forest, filled
with animals of all shapes and sizes from many
different regions and biomes. If an outworlder
wanders into his forest he will turn them into an
animal and add them to his “collection”. His forest is
filled with many such animals, a lot of them yearning

throw, he can choose to succeed instead.
Magic Resistance. The child has advantage on saving
throws against spells and other magical effects.
Superior Innate Spellcasting. The child’s innate
spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 20). He can
concentrate on multiple spells at once (each requires a
different saving throw to break), and can innately cast the
following spells at will, requiring no components:
• True polymorph (can only turn objects or creatures into
beasts or back into their original form)
• Dominate beast (7th level)
• Conjure animals (9th level)
• Conjure fey (9th level, beasts only)
to return to their old lives. No animal transformed by
the child can freely leave his forest. Any direction
they wander will simply lead to more forest.
The child’s strategy in a battle is usually to turn
every member into an animal via true polymorph.
When doing so, he will try to pick an animal that
suits the PC’s personality.
A party of animals might be able to convince the
child to let them go, but only by promising him
something of value. The child might also send them
on a few quests (usually 3) in exchange for their
freedom.
Switch-a-roo. As a bonus action, the child can switch
places with any beast within 120 feet of him as long as
there is enough room at both ends of the exchange.
Legendary Actions*
The child can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the
options below. Only one legendary action option can be
used at a time and only at the start of another creature's
turn. The child regains spent legendary actions at the start
of his turn.
Command Beast. One beast that the child can see within
60 feet of him must succeed on a DC 20 Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, it must use its movement to move
towards another creature of the child’s choice, taking the
shortest safe route. It must then use its action to make a
melee attack against that creature.
(Note that this happens at the start of a player’s turn, so if
that player has been polymorphed the child can essentially
take over their turn).
Twist
The twist activates as soon as the child drops to below 50%
of his maximum hit points.
Wild Shape (At Will). As a bonus action, the child can
assume the shape of any beast. He can stay in this form
until he reverts to his normal form as a bonus action. He
automatically reverts if he falls unconscious, drops to 0 hit
points, or dies.
While transformed, the child’s game statistics are replaced
by the statistics of the the beast he transformed into, except
he retains his alignment, personality, and Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma scores. The child can still use all of
his abilities while in beast form and his attacks in beast
form are magical.
