You guys dropped this video the exact same day I launched the party I dm for goes to the FeyWild, the stars have aligned, the circles carved, time for FeyWild campaigns.

[@Maragaoc]

The fact that this feywild video vanished yesterday and showed up today without any warning is so meta

[@anmimc]

I shape my Feywild details around this quote I heard: The shadowfell is our plane depressed. The Feywild is our plane manic.

[@cameroncox2739]

So like if Bob Ross dropped acid?

[@trevorlange]

@@cameroncox2739 Versus Edgar Allen Poe on opiates haha

[@Vespuchian]

I like that quote, I think it sums up the feeling nicely. If I ever had to describe the two to my players I'd describe the Feywild as the world amplified, like film overexposed and with the colour saturation turned way up, where all the landscape features were exaggerated and things moved slightly too fast. Conversely, the Shadowfell as a world fallen to entropy, dull and greyed out, eroded down into crags and gravel and time stretched into monotony.

[@EGrahamBass]

My favourite idea of the feywild (and the one I use in my campaigns) is from the movie Annihilation. The idea of this constantly growing world where nature and people blur into one, the magic in the air twists and mutates "refracts" everything. It's a fascinating take on the idea of fey and faerie and I love it.

[@SumoWilli]

Seems like the video travelled through the feywild itself

[@Macrona]

How is this not a more popular channel? This is exactly the kind of content I want an infinite backlog of

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Looks like leaving that bowl of milk on the porch paid off! Great video full of resources for inspiring faerie realm adventures and encounters :)

[@seraaron]

26:41 basically just sounds like the index of a monster manual 😂

[@inkblotCrisis]

My DM would put his version of the Feywild as dealing with perception. When you first enter The Feywild it seems magical and closer to the imagined view of it, slowly (or suddenly, time is iffy) the perception shifts and it turns into a normal looking forest. The Fey will pay closer attention to you if you're a first time traveler since you still have the 'wonder' they've lost over the course of eons.

[@brendanmckenna7613]

I will never get tired of you guys mentioning the Dresden Files.

[@chickenmonger123]

It’s the greatest secret epic fantasy series I’ve ever experienced.

[@ZrinNZ]

In my Feywild (if my players ever go there), I am going to have the Twk men from Jack Vance's Dying Earth. Little tiny men who ride dragonflies and take messages from place to place in exchange for salt.

[@Dynme]

A lot of discussion in the video of the Feywild as a chaotic place, but in my homebrew I intend to actually make it a lawful plane. I plan to play up the parts about faeries never telling lies and how difficult (and dangerous) it is to break a deal with them. Faeries never tell lies because doing so in the Feywild causes actual mental pain, and giving a faerie your word is practically like submitting to a Geas spell. I am trying to decide, though, if I want to keep the Seelie and Unseelie courts or just have a single one. Having both would be nice, but I'm not sure if I have enough space for both, so to speak...

[@matthewchapman1146]

One of my player’s is dying to go to the Fey Wild. This has been really helpful. Now I can make the Fey Wild beautiful before the Living Gate opens and starts spewing Lovecraftian cosmic horror all over the place.

[@Trenell83]

If you look at the 4e Dungeons and Dragons books like the Heroes of the Feywild, Monster Vault and I believe Monster Manual 2 they could give you great inspiration for the Fey wild. They describe some of the titles of fey courts with Eladrin, how the Feywild is the bright colorful yet still dangerous twin of the material world just like the Shadowfell is the dark twin.

[@mandisaw]

+1 The Feywild was almost as well-represented as the Shadowfell in the various 4e publications, with at least a few entire articles in Dungeon & Dragon focused on Feywild-related themes, or exploring ways of incorporating either a little or a lot of its elements into your game. Dragon 405 and 420 were good, and Rodney Thompson did a lengthy write-up of the eladrin city of Mithrendain in Dragon 366 that is especially worth checking out if you're looking for someplace more "civilized".

[@leem4386]

People saying they’re early... I saw the video when it was released early by mistake yesterday ;)

[@Jedibigfoot]

stepped into a fairy circle yesterday to arrive exactly at this moment been hoping for a feywild video, planning for a changeling raised by a fey

[@Curriay]

I've been playing a feylock changeling who didn't know they were a changeling until recently. They were placed as a replica for the real child that was kidnapped and now the changeling is trying to find the original

[@Jedibigfoot]

@@Curriay mines the exact opposite as Changeling aren't considered fey in D&D lore (WTF?) he was discovered to be a changeling as a child and kicked out of the town, he ended up lost in the forest and adopted by a fey He now adventures for a way to become an actual fey and serve his adoptive mother. He disguises himself as an eladrin and claims to be Fey to explain his shapeshifting Originally he was a monk with basically a warlock background but now hes an actual archfey warlock and echo knight fighter

[@Curriay]

@@Jedibigfoot yeah but not everyones games take place in dnd lore. Changeling came from stories of faeries replacing children with their own. I just tied the two stories together and my dm okayed it.

[@lessevilnyarlathotep1595]

im doing a half-human half-fey for my first campaign

[@Afrancis1968]

I have a campaign where half of the continent is covered in a dangerous forest called the Feywild. It is also known as the Forest of Change. The forest was made when an empire of elves took what is called an Elderan Seed from the Realm of Change (my version of the Feywild) and planted it in the ground. The seed then sprouted and created a massive tree that basically made a forest with the same properties as the realm 8t came from. (Fun fact: I named the forest the Feywild before I even knew that a place in DND already existed called Feywild.)

[@draxthemsklonst]

Did you grab some senzu beans, mega seeds and a weatherseed, along with your Magnigoth seed?

[@Afrancis1968]

@@draxthemsklonst what?

[@Gradin15]

I enjoyed the clips of shows/movies throughout.

[@17joren]

The Lyonesse trilogy by Jack Vance (yes that Jack Vance) is also great inspiration. It features changelings swapping with children, time distortion in the feywild (the child ages 9 years in the span of 1 on the mortal realm), trickster fey cursing with bad luck, archfey, water nymphs with nasty hexes, and dialogue as crazy as you would expect of inscrutable & selfish fairies. Also Poul Anderson has a couple good books with these elements; The Broken Sword and Three Hearts & Three Lions. They feature trolls, hags, troll hags, changelings, faerie knights, fey princes in magic castles, and myriad of other mythological creatures. Also a good poetic dance scene in TBS.

There's a mission in the Witcher 3 during Hearts of Stone where Geralt goes to this place where everything look like it was painted and i think that perfectly represents the FeyWild.

[@DarthScohin]

THANK YOU! My players just fell into the Fae and this helps my prep so much!

[@nihilean]

i can see my own setting im working on right now literally take shape as you guys introduce these cool ideas to me. great and helpful content as always, thanks :)

[@leorictristram4894]

Don't forget in the feywild there are infinite things that would just stalk the party, like every 3 rounds of initiative you just force perception checks on everyone. just constantly.

[@bloodgiant6596]

I really like the spirit world from ATLA and Korra as inspiration for the feywild. Ko the Facestealer as an evil faerie is just amazing, got to use something like it at some point. Dresden as well, and all of this I really love, but especially the avatar.

[@eddiebaby1982]

Brilliant! I recently rewatched Brothers Grimm and thought it was rife with inspiration, much like your content. Keep it up guys 🖖

[@fourganger88]

Dark Crystal and Labyrinth are linked by Brian Froud, who did creature design and concept art for both. With Alan Lee he also authored “Faerie”, which is a great compendium of faerie tales and types of faerie. It’s essentially a Feywild sourcebook without stat blocks

[@kevinuhart4970]

Dresden Files are always great inspiration! If you want to delve into something a bit stranger, A Madness of Angels by Kate Griffen really changes up perceptions of magic by modernizing it, changing what the fey could really be. British based urban magic, but, wow.

[@krispalermo8133]

Please check out the novel, " NeverWhere." it is also a BBC mini series.

[@matthewboland5598]

This was a good one. I have been really interested in the Feywild and fey creatures lately. Thx for the inspiration & discussion guys!

[@kylestark1800]

Exalted the Wyld and Changeling had some of the best details for the alien nature of a Feywild location. I like the idea of narrative structure defining their nature, they are living stories. So much of those and multiple other sources provide many things to add.

[@dylancox631]

Thank you for mentioning Dresden Files and his awesome use of fairy, excellent reference and I was thinking that the whole time I was watching until you mentioned it.

[@damienthetexasian6827]

Gruumsh was the first man to enter the Fey realm. When he repeatedly burst into fits of rage during his tryst with Correllan, the elf cast him out, proclaiming him ,"the natural embodiment of rage" and was cursed to have the face of a boar. During his conflict with Corellan, the elf took his eye so he would not remember the beauty of the Feywild. Millenias has passed and now orcs have bred true. But their human lineage allows for their cross. And their history shows their propensity for rage and the reason for their conflict with elves.

[@av7501]

Helpful, inspiring ending. Thank you webdm!

[@BloodWolfXZ]

My two favorite sources of inspriation for the fey are the show Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and the game Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning

[@oysterstu4822]

Yes! The doppelganger coming from dead tree from a finger?! That kinda wild magic was awesome and totally unexpected, I loved it

[@marcusflores9502]

THANK YOU!!! Fey and all of it's trappings has always been my favorite go to. I always try to make it seem sinister & alien, even the "good guys" seem unhinged. Thanks for the heads up on Discoverie of Witchcraft!

[@ninaroux8791]

So grateful for this. The Feywild has been so underrepresented.

[@acorns-r-us]

My favorite thing about The Discoverie of VVitchcraft is that its both an excellent refutation of the witch-craze that was going on at the time (Scot spills an awful lot of ink to say "magic not real"), and is also a great catalogue of some pretty gnarly spells if you practice.

[@Luredreier]

This was a *excellent* coverage of alternative sources for inspiration for the feywild.

[@themapsguy]

Great video! you're in my wheelhouse now, faires where my History MA subject!

[@beowulf.reborn]

I really like to blend, or bleed, the Feywild with/into the Shadowfell, and vice versa. It helps to capture a lot of the nuisances with regards to fey and undead/spirits, that are found in the myths of the various cultures around the world. The feywild representing more life, growth, energy, etc. and the shadowfell being death and decay. Crossing from one to the another is as simple as going too far into the dark wood, or the shadow of the mountain, etc.

[@teacup_ninja]

My main character, Qivyre, an eladrin creation bard is heavily inspired by Feywild mythology. Thank you so much for doing this deep dive on this wonderful plane I love so much.

[@bman1824]

Our party went into the feywild for a few sessions at the behest of the bird queen. A few party members backstories were woven in here or there, like our newest rogue was tge product of a one night stand between the queen and our bard, but because of the time weirdness, his daughter is older than him. Its also where my wizard pissed off his ancestral goddess and in return, she ripped his magic from him, so now when anyone sees my wizard with detect magic up, he looks like an antimagic zone.

[@dobyk5338]

I like to think of the Feywild not only as an amplified or wilder reflection of the Material plane, but also as a place where fate, mysticism and binding oaths have extreme power. Basically mix traditional (not Disney) fairytale tropes and themes with the 5th edition focus on its exaggeration of emotion, magic, colors, chaos, everything. I think it's important to realize that the fey are NOT good-natured. Sure, most Eladrin tend to be chaotic good, but one should not think of the fey in mortal moral terms, or to expect their behavior to conform to mortal/material standards. The fey may aid or hinder adventurers, or just take the piss, and they may appear to be completely erratic, but they have an internal fairy-tale inspired inner logic. Great video tho! You guys gave a great list of resources to draw inspiration from!

[@silverwing4153]

I love this stuff. I personally enjoy digging deeper so i can work on my fey corrupted halfling circle of the dream druid.

[@wesmaass4669]

Some great inspiration is Neil Gaiman book 3 of the "book's of magic" mini- series. Where the land of fairy is shown.

[@mathijsbeaujean8378]

Terry Pratchett's books covering Tiffany Aching are good as well

[@shaylic3795]

If you like Hayao Miyazaki’s films as inspiration then you should watch Ancient Magus Bride which is very reminiscent of British Fey and the show Mushishi which tells of spirits called Mushi that cause weird phenomena.

[@GreatSirZachary]

12:17 I think Jim just doesn’t like D&D. More and more I am convinced of this.

[@High-LordHarza]

Basic, normal, Forgotten Realms and other such settings DnD probably. It contains all kinds of things based on so many myths and legends and folklore from so many cultures and eras, but the wonder has been largely erased, but that's kind of what happens when you try to give gameplay and stats to things.

[@tr349]

Thanks guys for the ideas. I have been trying to find a bridge between worlds and I believe I have thanks to your video. Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@WebDM]

Awesome

[@IndorilNerevar-MoonandStar]

Pans labyrinth is my favorite movie, right next to the dark crystal and then labyrinth. I've always seen the feywild as of the quintessential fairytale world. I often imagine that old fairy tales may have been an authors near forgotten trip to the fairy land.

[@the8thsquare]

I just started a campaign where the players wake up in a natural cathedral. They're told they are the gift of the "flower girl", a little fae girl named Jynx, for a great hunt honoring a marriage between a fae and...something darker. They are tattooed. Like in Berserk. They are all sacrifices. In order for the wedding to commence they all have to be sacrificed and hunted down. So it's very The Most Dangerous Game. The alliance of the fae and the darker force was born because one of the characters has one of the first guns. The parallel worlds of the shadowfell and fae are rebelling and allying because they feel like they need to ally against this nuclear power of gunpowder. The ultimate villain is an empress who believes by setting these factions against each other she can lead everyone to a more efficient universe. This video gave me so many ideas. Thank you.

[@MarkWarner999]

I love the Crown Royal purple bag!!! I have one for my dice.

[@thexjackal8064]

One of my personal favorite inspirations for how to blend the feyrealms with my play world would the the darkwalker trilogy in which there is plenty of crossover between creatures and lands of the fey and the druids of the Moonshae isles

[@rnggaming8720]

To have an episode about the feywild and not mention Gimbles Guide to the Feywild is a disservice to your fans and yourself if you haven't read that. Go check it out absolutely amazing.

[@tmack11]

While not a D&D game, I always thought "Kingdoms of Amalur" was a fairly decent Fey Wild type universe.

[@shoeberrypie]

Such faerie courts 🧚‍♂️

[@transpadme]

working on a one shot right now inspired by a midsummer night's dream, where the pcs wander into the feywild when the barrier between planes is thin and end up in the middle of a fight between oberon and titania, very high hijinks, and honestly that's what I love about the feywild, just the chaos and wildness of it, where the players can have some wacky hijinks with later consequences

[@oysterstu4822]

Great video! By far the way fey magic is depicted in Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrel is my favorite. It's excellently as dark and mischievous as I feel like it truly would be

[@jackservans6906]

Just a random thought: In my campaign setting, there is an alternate planet where the standard races have evolved into chaos. The orcs have become abyssal, hungry giants who drove the elves to extinction. The dwarves and gnomes have evolved into burrowing mole people with little distinction between the two races, both of which serve a new pantheon of Abbathor and Urdlen. The halfling leaders broke a deal with Asmodeus, turning the whole race into the insane Spillifians that spit death and hurl missiles of fire. Yet, there is one good group of races: The goblinoids. In an interview with the creator of Eberron it was said that the races of that world are taken to their natural conclusion: stealthy illusionist gnomes become assassins, etc. Well, consider this: hobgoblins become noble samurai, cavaliers, and paladins. Goblins, touched by the feywild, become helpful and playful tricksters. Bugbears, being strong and dextrerous, have become monks of enlightenment, their rare families become secretive monasteries.

[@IndorilNerevar-MoonandStar]

[@darkishphoenix]

Lords and Ladies is a great inspiration for handling Fey courts

[@TheodoreMinick]

Because I know it's going to get asked: Denham Tracts.

[@Mati_Panzer]

my two cents would be to also take from japanese folklore. Gegege no kitaro shows the gegege forest and all the yokai that live there, although the "japanese feywild" looks more like a combination of sorts of the feywild and the shadowfell

[@mandisaw]

World folklore is a great source, if you want to get away from the Celtic-Germanic stuff. The orisha of African lineage and the New World variants of them in African-American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-Latin folklore are another field that is less-explored but rich with inspiration. The Native American traditions from throughout the Americas are also very interesting, but you'd have to do more digging into current, active anthropological research.

[@admcleo]

I had an idea I'd love to refine one day of treating the feywild like the realm of quantum mechanics.

[@mandisaw]

@Adam McLeod - Check out C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy. Humans colonized a planet where science doesn't work properly because reality is warped by will - consciously or not. One of their greatest "wizards" is actually a guy (Gerald Tarrant, great anti-villain) who essentially rediscovers quantum physics and uses that to shape his understanding (and control) of the world.

[@calebchristensen900]

I've always seen the world of fae as a land of chaos, but also where a lot of children's tails come from. So you'd possibly run into random animals that walk upright and have full conversations with you like nothing is wrong at all. But at the same time there's an archfey that just wants to see what it's like to choke someone out that's not from this part of the woods.

[@awaytoanywhere699]

[@abiggs4828]

Playing a Mousefolk Oath of Ancients Paladin who comes from a long line of Fey Crossing-point Guardians. Ousted from her home by Formians (hideous Fey Giants), Deliah Moonthistle finds herself in Baulders Gate at the start of Decent Into Avernus...Been one of my favorite characters yet.

[@malogranatum4914]

Decided to watch this video for inspiration to flesh out some backstory for a monk I’m creating who’s “half-fey” (reflavoured Eladrin or Wood elf or tweaked variant half-elf with once-per-rest Misty Step). She already would have a connection to the Feywild by being half-fey, but I also wanted her monk training to have some connection to it too. A:TLA and Legend of Korra would probably be great sources for this particular build, but I have unfortunately watched only a little bit of the former and none of the latter :( . That said, the link you guys made between the Feywild and the Matrix hit me like a ton of bricks!! I’m now thinking that along with the monastery being located close to a druid grove and working with druids and rangers to help maintain the border between the Feywild and the Material Plane, the monks at this particular monastery perhaps go into the Feywild on occasion as unarmed operatives to locate other people lost in there and bring them back to the Material Plane! The idea still needs some tweaking, but it’s a great start ^_^ .

[@MonkeyWhoWouldBeKing]

Susana Clarke is always gonna be my flavour of Faerie. twisted, and mad, and medieval, and capricious,

[@pixelnpc8480]

Consider. A mini campaign where the summer court hosts a wild hunt. The party has a week to hunt down a monster for their patron, with teams fighting both the party, other inhabitants of the feywild itself, and the actual terrain in order to claim the kill on the monster thats been marked. Who does everything in its power to throw off/set the hunters against one another.

[@ethanharris1903]

I see my initiative is still high.

[@Butzebaer]

Good timing for this vid. I'm about to play a Hexblade-Warlock, who's patron is an ex-lover of Titania turned Bow and my DM is quite thrilled to get some pointers on the Feywilds. Also, you guys think, you'll maybe do a series on different cultures in the Forgotten Realms? I'd quite like a nice, chunky bit of inspiration and lore about Thay.

[@Snarkknight5]

The Cheese and the Worms! My Master had me read that book when I was her Padawan.

[@mojorn8837]

Kelphi are my favorites because they’re such a good way to play on the trusting players who don’t fear the fey like they should. They’re pure terror with a gullible player. I’m not a sadist dm usually, but the feywild seems like it can be.

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

Eladrin whose name was stolen by an ancient hag, and who spent three decades driving the Black Coach in the Dark Woods somewhere on the PMP which brought lost children who accepted their offer of help getting home to the hag's demense, there to be dealt with as the hag saw fit. The Eladrin didn't like what she was made to do, but what could she do--the hag had her name. She did eventually manage to escape, by trading for the name of a mother who had caught up with the Coach, but when she attempted to return home, she found that her kinsmen were aware of what she'd done. They banished her to the PMP, where she still remains to this day. As for the mother, well... The Black Coach needs a driver.

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

Two fun examples of fey not listed here are the Children of Oberon in the animated series Gargoyles, and the Hobgoblins in The Dragon and The George book series by Gordon R Dickson. Gargoyles took the simple route of adding dozens of pagan gods, mobsters, and spirits from folklore into their world and unifying them by just making them all children of Oberon and Titania from Midsummer Nights Dream. In The Dragon and the George, a young college couple is about to write their thesis papers on medieval history. Then the college professor who wants to bang the girl uses both students in a classic mad scientists experiment. The couple gets sent back in time to the dark ages only there's magic and monsters everywhere. To make matters worse the girl is kidnapped by a dark wizard and the guy is trapped in the body of a dragon. He has to recruit a cliche knight in shining armor with a gambling problem, an archer with a mysterious past too thrilling to ever actually talk about in any of the books, and a talking wolf to help him go get her. Later on the dragon guy gets his human body back, but he and his girlfriend are stuck in medieval fantasy land. He can turn into a dragon at will with his new magic, but he has to undergo proper wizard training to avoid being labelled a dark wizard by the Catholic church. There's about a dozen books in the series and two or three books in the couple has to go on a quest to stop a war between the goblins and hobgoblins. Goblins being 5 inch tall furry murderers in this setting, and hobgoblins being 5 inches tall, hairless, fireproof, pacifists that live in the fireplaces, chimneys, and flumes of all large human manors, castles, and homes. Plus Hobgoblins can turn into smoke and fly all over the world in minutes just because.
