Feywild
The Feywild is a location of enigma and wonder
It is located in south of Greccland; The last bastion of magic in an increasingly mage-phobic world.
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.
The Feywild is an "echo" of the real Ileth, it lies in the gap between the material plane and the beyond. As an "echo" of the Prime Material plane, its geography was similar although not entirely identical to that of Ileth, 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 travelling 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.
All manner of fey species were found within the Feywild. Though most fey owe their allegiance to one of two great courts: the Seelie fey and Unseelie fey. The large number of fey that owe no allegiance are called Wyldefey. The Two courts are each led by a queen: One, Titania the Summer Queen and her husband Oberon. The other is led by Queen Map the Ice Queen
A Note on the Shadowfell The Shadowfell, which will be discussed more in-depth later, is not so much a separate plane from the Feywild than a darker area on it. Portions of the Feywild are simply more in-tune with darkness and evil than with the natural grace and beauty of the Feywild. Such places are ruled by the Dark Powers, mysterious figures of malevolent magic, rather than the fey Courts, and are home to undead, shadow creatures, and hideous abominations of flesh and shadow rather than the fey.
