The Tears of Endings and Beginnings

The Tears of Endings and Beginnings is a natural marvel located in the Feywild, where the confluence of the Azure and Crimson Rivers cascades down a near mile-high cliff. This magnificent waterfall, blending deep blue and bright red waters, creates a visual spectacle that epitomizes the mystical beauty of the Feywild.

Mythical Properties

The waterfall is not just a sight to behold; it's shrouded in legends and magical properties. It's said that the tears shed at the top of the falls carry the power to alter memories. Those brave enough to plunge with the waters might find their most painful memories erased or long-forgotten moments restored. However, this mystical process is unpredictable and perilous, with no assurances of the outcome or survival from the immense fall into the Lake of Dreams below.

The Lake of Dreams

Survivors of the fall find themselves in the Lake of Dreams, an enigmatic body of water above the Coral Court of Shale Dothore. While the lake's name suggests tranquility, its location near the domain of Baba Yaga means that perils lurk in every shadow. The Mistwood that surrounds it is home to hags and other malevolent beings, making the journey back from the lake a treacherous endeavor, that is, if you survive the fall.

Legacy of King Chronolos

The Tears of Endings and Beginnings is named after an event of profound sadness and resolve. King Chronolos, the once-ruler of the Feywild, is said to have wept at this very spot as he made the heart-wrenching decision to leave his realm for the Material Plane, a journey from which he would never return. His tears, imbued with the sorrow of departure and the hope for a new beginning, are believed to have endowed the waterfall with its unique magical properties.

Taking the plunge knocks you unconscious, and you're teethering between consciousness and death, between this world and another. You remember coming up for air, but the River that leads to the lake of dreams is nowhere to be found, you are instead submerged in a thick and murky river, as black as charcoal, with an overwhelming scent of decay. Pale ghostly faces can be seen throughout. The waves of the River Styx crash over you, and when you come up for air you're now in the rapids of the waterfall back in the feywild. You must now make death saving throws, until you either die, or survive, hoping to have recovered the lost memories that call to you from the Styx.
