3 weeks of downtime:
Caught up with the people I rescued; Ferdinand gave me a "magic carp" which can survive outside of water; Magpie has a quest for the group:
Week 1- Got a quest- Spirited Away- We need to escort Magpie around the Feywild until she can find her brothers
Born sickly, so father prayed to something; she got better but her 7 brothers vanished; she supposedly has a way to find them
Brothers supposedly turned into birds by an unknown force
Week 2- did some research into the Patron Magpie mentioned that transformed her brothers into ravens; learned 3 things:
There are 4 Archfey courts. 2 are known: The Litter and The Peat, The Court of Jest, The Tree of Infinity and the Dewdrops
The Litter and The Peat- Led by Lord Cals
Cals is supposedly the oldest of the Archfey, maybe older than the Feywild itself; very patient to the point of waiting for millenia for something;
Court is located in a place frozen in time with non-euclidean geometry from a devastated society
The Court of Jest- Led by Cirrus the Jester
Cirrus is a complicated individual; court is made up of theatre types and performers; obsessed with providing the best entertainment; Cirrus's jokes sometimes skew into cruelty and mockery
Court doesn't have a set position, it just moves around
Cirrus generally appears to people as a formless, indistinct clown wearing a wooden mask
The Tree of Infinity
The big ass tree omnipresent in the distance; most trees in the forest are part of the tree of infinity
Led by a dryad called Dailili who appears to people as a tall dryad with magenta eyes; no secret that she wants to assimilate everything into herself
The Dewdrops
A court of endlessly singing fey creatures who are sycophants to a powerful pixie called Tattlebug Moonflower, princess of the Dewdrops
Court travels in a promenade bringing "happiness and joy to all"; in reality it's all destructive storms
Followers comprise mainly of kuo-toa and bullywogs
Week 3- went to the circus and continued my research
Ran into a totally normal laborer who was obsessed about beginnings at the circus;
Got a letter from a "secret admirer"
Got an invitation to an eatery; supposedly from the sentinels of equality
Rumors/Things of interest:
There are clowns running around that don't belong to the circus
Woke up in an apartment that didn't belong to me with a note that there's an Archfey wandering around the city
