Feywild

The Feywild, also known as the Plane of Faerie or simply Faerie,as well as Isan Meidan by the its natives, was an "echo" of the Prime Material Plane suffused with potent magic, and unrestrained emotions. It was the place from which fey originated, and from where the first elves arrived onto Tila'thyu.

Geography

The Feywild was a place of unrestrained and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The plane is always bathed in twilight of the setting (or perhaps rising) sun, with lanterns and fireflies providing additional, haunting lights. Visitors to the plane found that all sensations, both sensory and emotional, were heightened. Smells were stronger, colors were more vivid, and sounds were clearer, but at the same time shadows were darker and impulses were harder to control. Strong emotions even altered the landscape of the Feywild itself, wilting flowers trailed the despondent or furious and carefree animals traveled alongside chipper and cheerful individuals.   As an "echo" of the Prime Material plane, its geography was similar although not entirely identical to that of Edarmyrni, but the natural landscape was markedly more dramatic and beautiful in the Feywild, with mountains standing straighter and sharper, rivers flowing clearer and faster, flowers bloom brighter and more fragrantly, and weather manifesting in supernatural ways. While most Prime locations and landmarks had analogues in the Feywild, sites of civilization in the Prime could be so unimportant in the Feywild as to be easily missed, while natural landmarks might be significantly more majestic or extreme. Navigating the Feywild was further complicated by the fact that distances did not always make sense. While two landmarks might be the same distance apart as in the Prime when traveling in one direction, they might be inexplicably further or closer on the return trip.   Further complicating any visit to the plane was that time did not flow the same in the Feywild as on the Prime. While any visitor would experience time flowing as normal, it was often the case that more time was passing in the Prime, sometimes on the order of weeks, months, or years longer than expected, although it was also possible for little or no time to have passed instead. More concerning, leaving the Feywild could have dire consequences. Lost time could suddenly "catch up" to a mortal, sending them into fits of exhaustion or hunger, or even killing them instantly if many years had passed. At the same time, those with no fey ancestry might find their memories of time spent in the Feywild going hazy, if not vanishing altogether.   Arcane magic ran more freely and powerfully in the Feywild than it did in the Prime, and it was for this reason that so many of its inhabitants and landmarks were suffused with magic. As an additional consequence of this all-encompassing magic, arcane spells tended to be amplified in power or duration when cast in the Feywild, and other times would manifest in entirely unexpected ways.

Localized Phenomena

Motes of energy that originated in the Feywild manifested as feywild sparks. These were highly sought after by adventurers that dared to brave the plane's perilous wilderness.   It was believed the barrier between the Feywild and the Material was especially weak on Ches 19 of the Calendar of the Darastri. This occasion was celebrated as a holiday across many more rural communities of the world.   The most common means of traversing in or out of the Feywild was through a fey crossing, which often required special knowledge of how to pass between the planes.
