[@majorzipf8947]

Yes! Totally agree. I love the contrasting themes of beautiful whimsy and twisted misery. Subverting expectations and making your players questions EVERYTHING is such a joy.

[@CrispysTavern]

The Feywild is such an interesting and surprisingly dynamic location for games! Folk horror, whimsical fairy tale, dark political intrigue, all of them and more fit perfectly with the Fey. I’m building a political game in a home brew take on the Feywild and it’s been a great time! Looking forward to some inspiration from this video.

[@GinnyDi]

Love the Feywild, too! In this case I think the Shadow Realm is a cool place to set your fey courts for a different, more gothic vibe than the more traditional Seelie/Unseelie dynamic in the Feywild.

[@CrispysTavern]

@@GinnyDi Yeah I made this comment before I realized the full context of the video. The Shadow Realm seems like a cool take though! I love the idea of creatures selling memories, definitely stealing that one for myself.

[@semipessimistic]

Do you think this setting could represent the unseelie court? With all it’s dark fey influence?

[@GinnyDi]

Totally! I think you could easily drop much of this setting into the Feywild - make it so that the Unseelie court is perpetually night, give outsiders "shadow corruption" if they spend too long there, use the Shadow Fey concepts for Unseelie fey, etc. That's what I love about modular content like this. It can be a whole plane, or you can just take what you like and put it into your own game however it suits best.

[@AdorableTheNerd]

the direction this video had my particular thoughts turning in was how much of this would be useful for my ethereal plane, which in my setting is more commonly known as the Dream realm, a sort of collective unconscious fashioned of the mortal emotions and imaginings layered on top of one another for many millennia. the Deep Dreaming contains many realms of shadow and darkness, especially where it bumps metaphysically up against the shadowfell, and now i wanna steal so many of these mechanics and concepts and adapt them into a dream realm adventure :D

[@davidfarnham5623]

for anyone curious, there is a domain of dread in Ravenloft called "The Shadow Rift" that had dark fae with it's own seelie and unseelie court. It is accessed by the neighboring realm of Tepest that has to deal with fae all the time. There were even 2 modules in an old edition. I am currently running a campaign in Tepest and using those dark fae and it's incredible, my party is terrified. One of the characters even got their shadow stolen.

[@Tralldan]

Ah, stealing shadows, the most fae thing a fae could ever do.

[@theSheighani42]

Oh shit o.0 so, really hoping they have a double running around. Idea of soul or Self attached to shadow, or like in The World of Darkness something akin to a Fetch...

[@jamesfavell1731]

In my setting, there’s an Elven nation called Davael. Davael is a theocracy dedicated to beings they call the ‘Bright Creators’, whom they believe originally made the world but whose glory was usurped by the other Gods. The Davaeli are fiercely devoted to the Bright Creators, and the most loyal are allowed to drink from the Bright Font, becoming Eladrin - the chosen children of the Creators. The problem is the story is not true and the Bright Creators are just a bunch of capricious, dangerous and bored Fey who basically pranked a nation of several million elves into religious extremism for kicks and profit.

[@theSheighani42]

That... Sounds legit xD

[@jasonreed7522]

My favorite part of world building is coming up with "what really happened" vs "each culture's record". In your case the elves believe their religion, everyone else has the normal DnD religion, and the absolute truth is that some Fey are doing Fey things and messing with an entire kingdom or empire sized realm.

[@wendyblair3079]

I love this idea! I’m curious as to your thoughts on how to write/run dark fey aristocracy. I’m a little in the dark (no pun intended lol) on the subject of fantasy aristocracy in general, but I really want to add some in to my campaign rn. Thanks in advance!

[@figboi]

We engage in a mild amount of tomfoolery moment there

[@markkoehr5003]

Kenna's backstory got my brain spinning the most. Just thinking about if Kenna hired the mage to take her and her child somewhere (like they were on the run from something or moving or whatever) and the Kenna's child wonders off or is lured off the shadow roads. So Kenna ran off after her child to protect them. But she is abused by the memory thief and loses her memory of her child. So her child is now lost plane of shadows. Maybe they gang comes across her child during their adventure. Maybe this is before Kenna regains her memories so she doesn't know its her child yet. Maybe child got corrupted by the shadows. Maybe the child gets entangle in a rival fairy court of Aravni's, or even one of those lost courts you mentioned. Idk, so many possibilities.

[@solarcupid2583]

The fact that you uploaded this the DAY I finalized my changeling's backstory. They're one of the "switched with a human baby" ones, and was found out when they went to help the local blacksmith and touched pure iron for the first time. They were then banished in a very traumatic incident given that they didn't even know that they were one. There's a whole lot more details, but that's the basics of it. I'm also going with classic fae rules so this changeling can't lie. They don't have the whole gift stuff though because I imagine that's a societal thing, not instinctual. I'm so excited for session one next week

[@ProfBoggs]

Do you have a 5e source for classic fae rules, perchance?

[@solarcupid2583]

@@ProfBoggs not officially, but there's some cool homebrew rules you can find by googling "Fey dnd 5e" or "playing fey dnd" a lot of it it just flavor stuff based on actual Celtic mythology, like the favors system. Some of the ones that come to mind are true names and iron weakness. The true name rules are basically, if you give a fey your true name, they can use command, suggestion, geas, and other spells like that on you at will. (Which spell they use depends on the strength of the fey) you automatically fail the saving throw as well. As for the iron, fey creatures take double damage from iron weapons, have disadvantage attacking enemies with iron equipped, and take minor burning damage when touching it

[@ProfBoggs]

@@solarcupid2583 tyvm :)

[@loveearth30]

Playing in a game completely shadow realm based does sound highly appealing to me. I enjoy the combination of mystical fey and dark less "pleasant" aspects that come across as sorta horror based. I very much enjoy giving my dms room to completely terrorize my characters, and I also enjoy being surprised with backstory things and this setting seems to naturally lean pretty heavily into aspects that could do that.

[@graphicfire]

I'm playing a fey warlock of the seelie court, there's not much content I've seen based on that unseelie seems to be the one with all the content and lore. Peeps love their dark faeries. Also I tend to picture the characters from the Dresden files wile playing.

[@zeppelopod]

Dresden Files is EXCELLENT for weird dark fae shenanigans.

[@mollywantshugs5944]

My favorite part of the fey is the sheer alienness of the fey in folklore. In particular the idea that they have a bunch of social rules and even laws of nature that they take very seriously which the human characters don’t understand

Definitely going to pick up these books and run some shadow adventures. Actually spent all day yesterday--when I should have been working on my campaign timeline--brainstorming and jotting down notes for adventures. Oh, yeah. I'm going to steal Aravni. I've been itching to run a drama/intrigue campaign in a court setting, and she gave me a great jumping-off inspiration--a character struggling between her desire to do good by helping the heroes and her desire to increase her and her family's standing in the court by screwing the heroes over. Actually, Krix gave me another bit of inspiration: when you mentioned him feeding on shadows, I got this image in my head of a character pouncing on someone's shadow and ripping chunks out of it with his teeth, literally eating it. That's led to some interesting places. (What does a shadow screaming in terror and agony sound like? I figure it's a faint, whispery sort of sound, but intense. Like water dripping when you're trying to sleep: you don't hear it at first, but once you do, you can't stop hearing it.) So thanks, Ginny. You're an inspiration! 🙂

[@dmore]

I was in a session yesterday and found myself needing to tell a folklore tale of my people. I started telling this dark, sad story… something of a warning used to keep children on the path, something turned into plays and theatre.

I just had an idea for a Fey Villian for my spelljammer campaign, basically a corrupted Dryad character who wants to spread nature, that being overwhelming plant life across the systems. She basically has her Dryad Tree being a living ship. She is linked to it and when the humans of her planet transformed her tree Into a ship it also twisted the will of the Dryad causing her to engulf her planet in vines and overgrowth until all humans were extinct. But now she goes around to other planets and plants seeds so that other Dryad's can wage war against humanity for their over expansion and destruction of nature. One of my PCs was even magically charmed and forced to serve in her army for 3 years and now, the spell has been broken and he is lost in the Astral Sea, having nightmares from the things he did while under her control. The villian herself has turned from a dryad Into more of an evil goddesses of wrath as she gained power and influence over multiple planetoids should be a fun villain to run ^-^

[@giggityguy]

I really love how deceptive fey can be. Even to experienced players who should know better, it's hard to make yourself think of them as every bit as dangerous as something like a fiend. They're unpredictable, which makes them even more interesting as villains. I'm ruminating on a campaign where the BBEG is an archfey, whose whole gimmick is that she gives luck and lavish gifts to those that adore her, but always bends the results to her own ends. It should make the party very suspicious of everything that seems like good luck or good loot, though not before a few nasty surprises teach them that lesson! It's got to be very unsettling to have a enemy that makes everything beautiful instead of setting things on fire.

My players made a deal with a Fey Lord to trade an artifact that the Fey had for one of their own, but didn't have one. So they slew a red dragon and claimed it's hoard so they could afford to pay a Naga Sage for the location of a suitably powerful artifact to trade to the Fey. The Naga said, "That which you seek resides within the Plane of Shadows," and even gave them a scroll of planeshift to help them get there. They NOPED out of the entire questline so fast it gave me whiplash! XD Just decided to go somewhere else, ANYWHERE ELSE instead XD They might not ever go to the Shadows. They are closing in on another artifact that is powerful enough to satisfy the Fey Lord, though they may not want to part with it...
