Campaign Starter

8 years after your first visit, you and your companions return to the Witchlight Carnival to recover what went lost and perhaps save the Feywild from a looming darkness.

You were but a child, or a child in heart and mind, when you visited the Witchlight Carnival. You dreamed of the rides, the attractions, and food, but your heart sank when you arrived and realized you could not afford the ticket. Fortune favored you, however, and you made your way into the carnival regardless, giving you a day of delight that lifts your heart to this day.

Yet when you returned from your wondrous day at the carnival, you did not return whole. Something you have missed every day of your life.

As the years went by, you and lived life with your "curse". You were all in Hupperdook when you saw a portal open and then that feeling of lost intensified as if you lost it yesterday. You and your companions have the chance to recover what you lost and just maybe save the Feywild in the process.

Truths of the Witchlight

• The Carnival is said to visit many worlds and rides the edge of the border between your world (Exandria/Wildemount) and the realm of the fey - The Feywild
• A strange corruption is said to have set into the Fey and the borderlands between the realm of the Fey and our world. Some believe it is a collision between these worlds and another
• In the land of the fey, the archfey Zyblina has gone quiet. Those attuned to this patron have not heard from her in more than a year.
• For unknown reasons, the numbers eight and three have power in the realm of the fey.
