# Endercoast
Endercoast is a city of about 100,000 inhabitants founded on the edge of the Bay of Driving Winds. It proved to be a valuable investment for its founders when they discovered the city was built over a region ideal for mining salt deposits, which were valuable in a time where food was scarce and preservation through winter was difficult. Economic prosperity quickly brought about debaucherous semi-annual street festivals, which in turn brought in a thriving middle class of merchants, artists, and vacationers.
One fateful twilight, the entire city was spirited away through powerful magic. Now, Endercoast is trapped in an unfamiliar and dangerous new realm. Can the city hold together, or will it fall to the chaos of the Feywild?
Endercoast is a place of stability and rest for the party. Since long rests are not permitted in the Feywild, characters must frequently return to Endercoast or risk succumbing to exhaustion.
##### Mood (IW)
| d20 | | Mood |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Riotous.*** The general population boils over with frustration from being locked away in the Feywild. In a show of violent protest, a small group of rioters burns down buildings, smashes windows, loots storefronts, and brawls with guards. |
| 2-14 || ***Discontented.*** The general population goes about their lives in a grumbling but accepting mood. |
| 15-17 || ***Nostalgic.*** Throughout the night, songs of the old world can be heard sung from apartment balconies. Bonfires roar, revellers tell stories of the families and friends they've left behind, and pubs run until dawn. |
| 18-19 || ***Hopeful.*** Rumours spread of a chance to return to the Material Plane. The city comes alive with excitement. People smile on the street. They give gifts to strangers. They dance and twirl with relief. |
| 20 || ***Silent.*** The city is draped in magical silence at twilight. Only voices are affected. This isn't an uncommon occurrence in the Feywild, and for once the sounds of nature surrounding the city take precedence. People gather at the edges to listen to the music of the forest. They drink, they revel, and when dawn arrives, the silence lifts, and so do spirits. Sometimes it's easiest to connect to one another without words. |

##### Weather (IW)
Summer is always humid and winter is always cold.
| d20 | | Weather |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Cold.*** Anyone further than 5 ft. from a source of heat or another person takes 1d4 cold damage per round. Everyone huddles together in clumps and the streets grow empty. There is no snow, only cold. |
| 2-7 || ***Rainy.*** Torrential downpours fill the city. The streets flood with waist-high water. Sewage is backed up. People retreat to the upper floors of their homes. Anyone shorter than 3'6" risks drowning in the streets. The streets are difficult terrain for anyone without a swim speed, unless they move in the direction of the current. |
| 8-17 || ***Mild.*** The weather is pleasant, though the air is choked with pollen and other particulates. A failed DC 3 Constitution saving throw at the beginning of the day gives a humanoid the poisoned condition until twilight as they choke and sneeze uncontrollably. Mayor Attercat always fails his check, even with such a low DC. |
| 18-20 || ***Humid.*** The hot, stuffy air shortens the amount of time it's comfortable to spend outside. The cityfolk wear only necessities and guzzle down gallons of water. Humanoids who spend more than an hour at a time outside must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or incur a level of exhaustion. |

#### Other
- Bring It to a Boil (IW)
- Purse Your Lips (IW)
### Religions
#### Lliira (IW)
***Chaotic Good.*** The Joydancers of Lliira exist to provide a welcome distraction from the tribulations of the common people. Their church, a modest but long-running circus in Endercoast, risks pulling farmers from their families, knights from their quest, wives from their husbands, and children from their parents, all for a chance to be lost forever watching the hypnotic sway.
#### Sentinels of Equity (IW)
***Chaotic Neutral.*** The Sentinels of Equity do not worship a specific god, but moreso the abstract concept of a "truly equal society". Perhaps there is a god that grants them their powers, though such a god has yet to reveal itself. Now that the city has been cut off from the Material Plane, their power has remained steady while other churches of Endercoast, aside from those of Lliira and Silvanus, have waned.
#### Silvanus (IW)
***Neutral.*** The woodlands must be preserved at all costs. Worshipping their Forest Father from impossibly high treehouses, followers of Silvanus stand steadfast against the intrusion of civilisation into the natural forests of the world. Sometimes this involves warnings. Other times, arrows.

## Endercoast Factions
### Government
#### Leader
Hitchen Attercat is the mayor of Endercoast. See Dramatis Personae for details.
#### Goals
The government of Endercoast pursues the following goals over the course of the story.
___
- ***Return to the Material Plane.*** The Feywild is a scary place that can't be tamed. The longer the city spends here, the more it will fall into anarchy.
- ***Protect the Interests of the Mayor.*** The mayor takes bribes from the Union of Small Business Owners, and his daughter has her own fashion store in the city square that he wants to ensure the success of. He acts to support these businesses if they don't interfere with his other goals.
- ***Preserve the Mayor's Secret.*** The mayor is rumoured to have a secret lover. If his unfaithfulness to his wife were ever confirmed, it would seriously undermine his chances at reelection.
#### Influence
___
- ***Finances.*** The government has effectively unlimited funds for this adventure. As long as the people of Endercoast collectively agree to continue to use the gold piece standard while in the Feywild, the government can secure its hegemony over the city through financial means.
- ***Leverage.*** After taking so many bribes, the government and its politicians have an uneasy alliance with many criminal organisations in Endercoast due to mutually-assured destruction. They both have world-shattering revelations to share, if only the other would strike first.
- ***Politics.*** The government is able to achieve its political goals because of the support of its people and because of its careful bureaucracy that exists to prop itself up. With a bureaucracy in place, any reasonably intelligent politician can absolve themselves totally of responsibility for anything bad that happens.
\columnbreak
##### Events
You can roll randomly for the following faction events, or choose an event appropriate to your session.
|d6| | Event |
|:---:|-|:---|
| 1 || The mayor plans a ball to celebrate his daughter's 30th birthday. Worried that nobody will attend, he puts in place an 8 o'clock curfew and makes his ball an exception to the curfew. |
| 2 || The mayor starts following through on his campaign promises to "clean up the streets" of both trash and crime. Suspiciously, the mayor has never fulfilled a campaign promise before, leading many to believe that he's been replaced by a döppelmayor. |
| 3 || To celebrate the party's recent victory, he invites them to a public ceremony to grant them the key to the city. He changes his mind last minute and gives it to Huck Lasick instead, despite the fact that Lasick absolutely does not want the key to the city. |
| 4 || The mayor takes some time off at his mansion by the docks, ostensibly by himself. Without him, a lot of work is getting done by the council, but he's been gone a while and some people are getting worried. |
| 5 || The mayor bans all travel in or out of the city. The guards are unlikely to follow his demands, especially considering that some people have seen the mayor sneaking someone in and out anyway. |
| 6 || The mayor's daughter uses her father's political clout to advertise her fashion store. |
##### Faction Bonuses
By completing sidequests, the group can increase or decrease their faction relationship.
| Relationship | | Bonus (or Detriment) |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| -1
Anarchists || NPCs allied with the government have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Insight) checks made against the party, and they are supported by 1d4 **inquisitors** (NPC 138) each. |
| 0
Citizens || No effect. |
| 1
Statists || When a party member takes the Help action to assist an ally with an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Insight) check, the recipient can additionally add 1d4 to their result. |
| 2
Lobbyists || The party receives the above benefit and can put into place one reasonable city law. The party can't put into place any further laws than this. |
\pagebreakNum
### Endercoast Guard
#### Leader
Huck Lasick is the commissioner of the Endercoast Guard. See Dramatis Personae for details.
#### Fighters
The guards in the Endercoast Guard are all fighters. The guard is made up of six precincts (refer to NPC 75 for the rundown on **fighter squads**) with 5d100 **guards** (MM 347) in each precinct (roughly 250 per precinct and roughly 1500 total). The precincts are respectively led by a **veteran** (MM 350), a **master-at-arms** (NPC 80), a **rally guard** (NPC 80), a **commander** (NPC 206), a **brute** (NPC 82), and a **banneret** (NPC 79) as their chiefs.
#### Goals
The Endercoast Guard pursues the following goals over the course of the story.
___
- ***Crack Down on Enormities.*** Endercoast is a city of sinners. The commissioner knows that a few broken windows is all it takes for criminals to think they can get away with it, so his strategy is one of zero quarter.
- ***Replace Shoddy Engineering.*** A lot of Endercoast's engineering work was done shoddily, in a rush, to keep up with a velocitous population growth. Now that the population has levelled off (especially because everyone is trapped here), now's the time to push for some infrastructure work that desperately needs to get done.
- ***Ally with the Cult.*** Huck Lasick isn't a religious man, but he knows the power of church on ensuring the obedience of the masses. He thinks the Sentinels of Equity are a bunch of crackpots, but if they can help him maintain order, maybe a bunch of crackpots is what this city needs. He doesn't quite understand the true purpose the cult, unfortunately.
#### Influence
___
- ***Leadership.*** The guards command respect from their citizens, who go along with what they say unless they have a good reason to disobey (and are willing to potentially put their life on the line to do so). The commissioner commands the guards, and time and time again he proves his capabilities as a leader.
- ***Persistence.*** Commissioner Huck Lasick does not rest until he has his man. He does not sleep until he has a solution to his problems. He does not give up, not now, and not ever. He is relentless. He is inevitable. And his guards must follow suit.
- ***Violence.*** In concept, as an organisation a city guard has widespread societal permission -- and in fact, expectation -- to inflict violence on those who would go against the interests of the city. They employ mercenaries and train recruits to become lethal fighters. They are the largest combative force in the adventure, moreso even than any individual archfey's forces.
\columnbreak
##### Events
You can roll randomly for the following faction events, or choose an event appropriate to your session.
| d6 | | Event |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || The commissioner arrests thirty anti-Feywild protesters off the street, causing the protests to worsen as more people take up the cause. |
| 2 || One of the commissioner's top-ranking chiefs is assassinated, prompting a swift and violent investigation into the perpetrators. |
| 3 || The commissioner makes a public apology for the recent collapse of a small stone bridge that he oversaw the construction of ten years prior. The bridge wounded a young child when it collapsed. |
| 4 || The commissioner sends several dozen guards out into the streets with soap, buckets of water, and fresh paint in order to clean up the rampant graffiti. They accidentally paint over a beautiful mural that Mayor Attercat had commissioned for his daughter. |
| 5 || A councillor accuses the commissioner of refusing to investigate the bribes that the Union of Small Business Owners pays to the mayor. In response, the commissioner asks the party to investigate the councillor for any wrongdoing on his part. |
| 6 || A **crime boss** (NPC 132) puts out a hit on the commissioner. 1,000 gp for the halfling's head. 1d6 **discount assassins** (NPC 136) take to the streets. |
##### Faction Bonuses
By completing sidequests, the group can increase or decrease their faction relationship.
| Relationship | | Bonus (or Detriment) |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| -1
Perps || The streets are filled with **bandits** (MM 343), **dirty fighters** (NPC 215), **thugs** (MM 350), and the occasional **outlaw** (NPC 225). Sometimes, there are much worse threats, like an **arcane thief** (NPC 135) or a **master thief** (VGM 216). It's not safe to walk around after dark. |
| 0
Civvies || No effect. |
| 1
Informants || The party is accompanied by a **mercenary** (NPC 223) from Lasick's "untouchables" -- not a chief but an experienced sergeant. Lasick's guard forces as a whole become **mercenaries** (NPC 223) instead of **guards** (MM 347). |
| 2
Consultants || The party receives the above benefit and is pardoned for a serious wrongdoing, if applicable. The party can't be pardoned for further wrongdoings, and crimes committed with knowledge of a potential future pardon cannot be pardoned. |
\pagebreakNum
### Sentinels of Equity
#### Leader
The Sentinels of Equity have no official leader, but Hermione Galanodel is their spokeswoman. See Dramatis Personae for details.
#### Religious Details
***Chaotic Neutral.*** The Sentinels of Equity do not worship a specific god, but moreso the abstract concept of a "truly equal society". Perhaps there is a god that grants them their powers, though such a god has yet to reveal itself. Now that the city has been cut off from the Material Plane, their power has remained steady while other churches of Endercoast, aside from those of Lliira and Silvanus, have waned.
Cultists of the sentinels of equity dress in identical white robes and often speak together as many voices merging into one. Once a day, each cultist can replace any result of a die roll with 10 (before adding modifiers).
#### Goals
The Sentinels of Equity pursue the following goals over the course of the story.
___
- ***Absolute Fairness in All Matters.*** The cult believes that the government and the city guard are incapable of objectively doling out justice. Only the Sentinels of Equity are capable of viewing criminal acts from an unclouded perspective and should therefore be the adjudicator in all cases.
- ***Return to a State of Nature.*** Endercoast is a city encroaching on the natural order of the world. Being transported to the Feywild is a sign that the city has strayed too far from its roots and must tear itself apart to coalesce into the soil once more.
- ***Eliminate the Opposition.*** Any who disagree with the Sentinels of Equity are acting unreasonably, and there is no room in this world for unreasonable people. The cult must eliminate anyone who crosses them.
#### Influence
___
- ***Divine Magic.*** The sentinels command divine power in a place that is otherwise largely cut off from the gods. Most major religious institutions find their clerics powerless. Not so for the sentinels. They heal the sick, banish undead, and bring light to the masses.
- ***Luck.*** The sentinels have made a pact with Lord Cals, who supplies Hermione Galanodel and other influential members of the cult with a warlock's magic. Lord Cals provides them the boon of patience -- the dice will be in their favour if they are willing to wait.
- ***Manipulation.*** The sentinels have their claws in most influential organisations in Endercoast. They've bribed the government, they've installed secret members on the board of the Union of Small Business Owners, and they've convinced the Endercoast guard that their presence in the city helps maintain order.
\columnbreak
##### Events
You can roll randomly for the following faction events, or choose an event appropriate to your session.
| d6 | | Event |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Cultists burst into an active criminal court case and demand that the defendant be executed immediately for the crime he is so clearly guilty of perpetrating. |
| 2 || The cultists summon the spectral visage of an archfey, casting it high into the clouds so that all of Endercoast can listen to its demands. |
| 3 || The cultists set off an explosive rune in the sewers to demonstrate to the common folk their over-reliance on proper sanitation. The city stinks. |
| 4 || The cultists assassinate Mayor Attercat. His incompetency only serves to hinder their goals. |
| 5 || The cultists send **cultists of the archfey** (NPC 208) disguised as church hands to "support" a guard raid on suppliers of ellicit substances. Secretly they wish to obtain these substances for themselves. |
| 6 || Hermione meets a party member at a formal event and attempts to convince them to join her cult. She becomes vengeful if denied. |
##### Faction Bonuses
By completing sidequests, the group can increase or decrease their faction relationship.
| Relationship | | Bonus (or Detriment) |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| -1
Heretics || The party cannot add their proficiency bonus to saving throws due to a curse from the cult. |
| 0
Fools || No effect. |

Useful Fools || Once per day, a party member can replace an ally's d20 roll for an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw with 10 (before modifiers). After doing so, the original party member's next ability check, attack roll, or saving throw also becomes 10 (before modifiers). |
| 2
Cultists || The party receives the above benefit and also receives the maximum healing possible from all hit dice rolled. |
\pagebreakNum
### Union of Small Business Owners
#### Leader
Turph Musheen is the most influential member on the board of the Union of Small Business Owners. See Dramatis Personae for details.
#### Features
The union uses **thugs** (MM 350) for intimidation purposes. Thugs have access to Pack Tactics, which is a powerful feature that grants advantage when ganging up against a target. You can grant other NPCs the Pack Tactics feature if they work for the union.
As an alternative to Pack Tactics, you can grant NPCs the ability to use the variant flanking rules (DMG 251), which is also what player characters gain access to as a result of allying with this faction. If you're running this adventure with theatre of the mind, you can adapt the flanking rules as follows:
___
> ***Theatre of the Mind Flanking.*** When a creature and its ally are both within 5 feet of a target, a creature can spend 10 feet of movement to position itself in such a way that the target becomes flanked. The flanking bonus lasts until the creature, its ally, or the target moves, or the creature or its ally become incapacitated.
#### Goals
The Union of Small Business Owners pursues the following goals over the course of the story.
___
- ***Protect Our Own.*** Members of the union are granted special protections and must be allowed to call upon the resources of the union to support them. All for one and one for all.
- ***Absorb Competitors.*** Almost every other guild in Endercoast has been incorporated into the union, and they won't stop until everyone is a part of their organisation whether they like it or not.
- ***Return to the Material Plane.*** The Feywild isn't good for business. Law is preferable to chaos.
#### Influence
___
- ***Arcane Magic.*** When the court wizards joined with the union, Mayor Attercat knew that attempting to circumvent the union would be hopeless. The wizards possess scrying and illusion magic that make it impossible to pull a fast one on them. Or so they think, for their overconfidence breeds complacency.
- ***Intimidation.*** The union wields the power to shut the city down at any moment. Endercoast can't function without the businesses that supply its people with essential services like food, clothing, water, and medicine. If the union is crossed, they will strike, and the city will suffer.
- ***Law.*** The union's team of expert lawyers can worm their way in and out of the legal labyrinth, always ensuring that the union comes out on top in a negotiation.
\columnbreak
##### Events
You can roll randomly for the following faction events, or choose an event appropriate to your session.
| d6 | | Event |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Matthew the blacksmith calls upon the union to provide him with extra tools to detect and disable magic after his shop is burgled by an **arcane thief** (NPC 135). |
| 2 || The board funnels money into a public works project that would necessitate tearing down and relocating a rival weaver's guild's headquarters. They hope that this will pressure the guild into joining with the union to survive. |
| 3 || Union thugs beat an auditor in the streets for daring to give one of their members an unfavourable report. The auditor, a young woman named Hacinth, refuses to press charges out of fear. |
| 4 || Two board members make a pact to veto all of Turph Musheen's proposals, worried that he is letting his power go to his head. He manages to gather enough votes to kick them from the board, so they try to start their own competing union. |
| 5 || A courier for the union is caught transporting a bribe to mayor Attercat. The union denies all responsibility. The party is asked to sit in to the court hearing, where the mayor absolves the union of all wrongdoing. |
| 6 || A previously-successful mining company, Tracer Coal, refuses to pay its workers their salaries given that the mine is no longer accessible while they're in the Feywild (even though the miners are still completing jobs for the company). Union thugs face off against **mercenaries** (NPC 223) hired by Tracer Coal to press the workers into complacency. |

A few bribes to the mayor and The Union of Small Business Owners (IW) has managed to secure a huge block of real estate in the North Ward. They control a cluster of flat, grey buildings.
___
> #### Local Knowledge
>
> "Commissioner tells us his guards keep the good people of Endercoast safe, but when some big-shot Neverwinter organisation started muscling its way onto my block and pressured me to fold up my father's shop, was it the Endercoast Guard that stepped in to tell those Neverwinter fat cats to shove it? No, it was the Union of Small Business Owners. That's why I'm a card-carrying member today."
>
> #### Directions
>
> "Start at the Council Hall and take a stroll along the river for ten minutes. You'll see a cluster of buildings on the left, that's union headquarters."
Describe the following scene when the party first enters the headquarters.
> *The union headquarters are alive with secretaries, number crunchers, and paper-pushers. A circle of modestly-dressed business people argue about tax rates. You recognise Turph Musheen, a famous figure in Endercoast for his dramatic calls to action against the influence of the Feywild on this great city.*
You can find information on Turph Musheen in Dramatis Personae (IW 4).

#### Activities
___
- ***Business Administration.*** The Union of Small Business Owners will help you set up your small business. If you present a business license to the Union, for a fee of 100 gp plus a 20% cut of your profits, the Union will file your paperwork, ensure that you are not pushed out of the market by competitors, complete your taxation requirements for you, and staff your storefront with experienced customer-facing workers. In other words: "You do what you do best, and leave it to us to fix up the rest." Refer to the Small Business section (IW 24).
- ***Work.*** The Union has need of customer-facing retail workers. A character with proficiency in Persuasion can work odd jobs for various shops around the city, earning 10 gp plus additional gp equal to one quarter the result of a Charisma (Persuasion) check, rounded down.
## Downtime Activities
### Carousing
Spending quality time with good company and good drinks is easy enough in Endercoast, a city known for its lively celebrations. Carousing has the potential benefit of making useful contacts and learning city gossip and news, but can often result in messy situations without proper care.
Almost every night of the week there is some interesting event on at one of the main haunts of the city. Most carousers recommend the Nine Layers (IW, building G) on the South Wharf, which usually attracts a lower-class crowd, or Shiner's (IW, building K) in the Turtle District, which attracts a young wealthy elite and is usually invitation-only.
#### Nine Layers Carousing
Spending a week carousing at the Nine Layers costs 71 (1d100 + 1d20 + 10) gp. A carouser makes a Charisma (Persuasion) check using the following carousing table.
##### Nine Layers Carousing
| Result | | Outcome |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1-9 || The carouser makes a hostile contact: an **outlaw** (NPC 225). This contact bears a grudge against the carouser and organises a meaningful disruption to the carouser's plans. |
| 10-14 || The carouser learns of some city gossip. Roll on the city gossip table (IW 25). |
| 15-19 || The carouser learns of some city gossip (IW 25) and gains a friendly contact: a **commoner** (MM 344) who can assist with the carouser's plans in a small way. |
| 20+ || The carouser learns of some city gossip (IW 25) and gains a friendly contact: a member of one of the four key Endercoast factions: a **noble** (MM 348) for the government, a **mercenary** (NPC 223) for the guard, a **cultist of the archfey** (NPC 208) for the Sentinels of Equity, or a **thug** for the Union of Small Business Owners. |
\columnbreak
There is always a risk involved with carousing. The Nine Layers can be an especially dangerous place after dark, and it's infamous for its criminal activity.
After spending a week carousing at the Nine Layers, roll a d10. On a result of 7 or lower, roll for a complication.
##### Nine Layers Complications
| d8 | | Complication |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || A pickpocket lifts 1d10 x 10 gp from you, and replaces it with a soul coin, used as currency by followers of devils in the Nine Hells. The coin is cursed -- you can only get rid of it by stealing from someone unsuspecting of your intentions. |
| 2 || A scrap in the bar leaves you with a horrific scar. |
| 3 || You drunkenly signed a contract to fund an orphanage. It's written. No backing out now. |
| 4 || Everyone calls you "Hornsnapper" or another strange nickname for reasons you can't remember. |
| 5 || When you check a mirror the next morning, you find that not a single scrap of clothing you are wearing is actually yours. |
| 6 || A grotesquely ugly tiefling has taken a romantic interest in you and follows you around all day. |
| 7 || You spent an additional 71 (1d100 + 1d20 + 10) gp in a vain attempt to impress people. |
| 8 || You wake up in bed next to a bitter rival. |
\pagebreakNum
#### Shiner's Carousing
Spending a week carousing at Shiner's costs 710 (10d100 + 10d20 + 100) gp and requires either the Noble background or a direct invitation. A carouser makes a Charisma (Persuasion) check using the following carousing table.
##### Shiner's Carousing
| Result | | Outcome |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1-5 || The carouser makes a hostile contact: a **noble** (MM 348). This contact bears a grudge against the carouser and organises a meaningful disruption to the carouser's plans, with a high degree of capability. |
| 6-14 || The carouser learns of some city gossip (IW 25). Other carousers express their opinions on the news, giving the carouser advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to evaluate its veracity. |
| 15-19 || The carouser learns of some city gossip (IW 25) and has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to evaluate its veracity. The carouser also gains a friendly contact: a **noble** who can assist with the carouser's plans in a significant way. |
| 20+ || The carouser learns of some city gossip (IW 25), has advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks to evaluate its veracity, and gains a friendly contact: a high-ranking member of one of the four key Endercoast factions: an **inquisitor** (NPC 138) for the government, one of Lasick's chiefs (IW 9) for the guard, a **trickery priest** (NPC 62) for the Sentinels of Equity, or a **noble** (MM 348) on the board of the Union of Small Business Owners. |
There is always a risk involved with carousing. While Shiner's doesn't have a reputation as unfortunate as the Nine Layers, it can still be a hotspot for criminal activity, though the sort of criminal activity is more high-brow, or in other words, less enforced. Those who are rich enough to afford it can just pay a bribe to the government and move on with their day. If you have to ask how much to pay for a bribe, you are not rich enough to afford it.
After spending a week carousing at Shiner's, roll a d10. On a result of 3 or lower, roll for a complication.
\columnbreak
##### Shiner's Complications
| d6 | | Complication |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || You're deafened for a week. Shouldn't have stood so close to the bards. |
| 2 || You don't know how your hair turned bright purple, but you think it kind of looks good on you. |
| 3 || You solemnly swore to complete a quest for one of the four factions of Endercoast. The only problem is, you can't remember which one. |
| 4 || You have become the target of an embarrassing rumour. Something about "two left feet". You're not sure whether it's figurative or literal. |
| 5 || You feel in your gut that you have committed a deeply illegal act, but when you ask around, everyone assures you that "it's dealt with". |
| 6 || You wake up in bed next to a bitter rival. |
### Crafting
The Feywild provides ample opportunity for craftworkers to ply their trade and experiment with new combinations, and Matthew's Shop (IW) provides generic crafting supplies for sale of all types.
As long as a character has sufficient supplies and is proficient with the relevant tools, crafting an item takes 1 week of downtime (rounded up) per 50 gp of the base price of the item. Multiple items can be created in one week of downtime if their total cost is less than 50 gp, and a single item can be constructed over the course of several consecutive weeks of downtime if its cost is higher than 50 gp.
Items created in this way can be sold to the general public for one half their base price (rounded down) to supplement a small business operated by the party (IW), or to Matthew's Shop, as he is always in need of more goods to stock his shelves with.
### Crime
The following crimes can be committed by the party.
After committing a crime, one perpetrator of the crime must roll a Dexterity or Intelligence (Sleight of Hand or Thieves' Tools) check to represent their ability to erase evidence. Refer to the crime discovery table on the next page for the outcomes, based on meeting certain Difficulty Classes of this check.
\pagebreakNum
##### Crime Discovery Check
| DC | | Outcome |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| Failure || The crime is solved and the perpetrator is apprehended. The perpetrator receives the "Risk" result for their crime. |
| 5 || The crime is unsolved. The perpetrator receives the "Reward" result for their crime. |
| 20 || The crime is pinned on the wrong perpetrator. The perpetrator receives the "Reward" result for their crime, and the DC for these outcomes isn't increased by 1. |
For each successive crime committed by the party, the DC for these outcomes increases by 1. The DC is shared by the entire party, and any increases are permanent. Small crimes, e.g. gambling and pickpocketing, do not increase the DC in this way, and scoring above 20 on the crime discovery check also prevents this increase. If a player abuses the system, you can choose to increase the DC without having to explain why.
##### Burglary
___
- ***Reward.*** The burglar makes a Dexterity (Stealth or Thieves' Tools) check. The burglar receives 50 (1d20 + 40) gp plus gp equal to the result of their check.
- ***Risk.*** 300 gp fine and 8 weeks in jail.
##### Enchantment
___
- ***Reward.*** Enchantment magic allows for the party to influence others in social situations. It is forbidden in Endercoast.
- ***Risk.*** 8 weeks in jail. If the recipient knows they were influenced by magic, the crime discovery check is made with disadvantage.
##### Gambling
___
- ***Reward.*** After a night of gambling, roll 1d10. On an even result, the gambler gains that amount in gp. On an odd result, the gambler loses that amount in gp.
- ***Risk.*** 150 gp fine. Gambling does not increase the DC for the crime discovery check.
##### Murder
___
- ***Reward.*** Some people just need to be removed from the equation.
- ***Risk.*** 52 weeks in jail.
##### Necromancy
___
- ***Reward.*** Necromancy magic allows for the party to control life and death. Any necromancy spell on the wizard spell list is forbidden.
- ***Risk.*** Execution.
##### Pickpocketing
___
- ***Reward.*** 1d6 gp plus 1d20 sp.
- ***Risk.*** 50 gp fine and 4 weeks in jail. Pickpocketing does not increase the DC for the crime discovery check.
\columnbreak
##### Other
___
- ***Reward.*** The party can spend a week of downtime committing generic criminal activity, earning 50 (1d20 + 40) gp plus gp equal to the result of a Dexterity (Stealth or Thieves' Tools) check.
- ***Risk.*** A generic crime has a fine of 300 gp and may result in 8 weeks in jail.
### Gigs
#### Skilled Work
Possible job opportunities are available for characters with the following proficiencies.
___

___
Characters can also find generic gigs for any other proficiencies they might have (including tool proficiencies), earning 10 gp per week.
If a character thinks that a skill or a tool they have makes them suited to one of the work opportunities in a location listed above, they can do that job if they can convince you they're well suited to it.
#### Unskilled Work
A character can spend a week performing unskilled labour for 6 (1d4 + 4) gp.
#### Dungeoneering
Matthew's Shop (IW 16) and Thinkiad's Magic Atrocities (IW 20) provide an opportunity for adventurers to cave-dive to acquire magic items and receive discounts or rewards.
#### Sidequests
Horizon's Edge Eatery (IW 15) and Shiner's (IW 19) offer two rewarding sidequests for the party. Sidequests for factions can be found using the page references below.

### Operating a Small Business
The party can earn money by collectively running a small business together in Endercoast. The Union handles all of the administration costs for the party, and the party takes the following steps to putting their business together.
#### 1: Decide on a Business
The party identifies a product or service they wish to sell based on their collective strengths and abilities as a group, or based on gaps they see in the types of goods and services available in Endercoast.
#### 2: Pay Business Costs
The major costs of starting a business are 100 gp to bribe the mayor for a business license, 100 gp for the Union's support (small businesses very rarely survive without it; refer to IW 20), Union cut, and property prices. A business has two options for property:
___
- ***Buy.*** A small storefront in Endercoast goes for 4,000 gp, including any bribes to the mayor and other incidental expenses.
- ***Rent.*** Renting a storefront costs 40 gp per week.
#### 3: Calculate Revenue
A small business earns revenue based on how long it has been operating and based on the success of business-related ability checks. The party elects one character to hold responsibility over the success of the business, and this character is the one who makes the checks. As everyone helps out, these checks are made with advantage.
A business-related check (BRC) is a type of check of the party's choosing related to the operations of their business. For example, a private investigation business might use an Intelligence (Investigation) check.
##### Small Business Revenue
| Length of Operations | | Weekly Earnings |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1-12 weeks || 110 (100 + 3d6) gp plus BRC |
| 13-52 weeks || 146 (125 + 6d6) gp plus 2 x BRC |
| 52+ weeks || 181 (150 + 9d6) gp plus 3 x BRC |
A character can supplement their small business' revenue with crafting (IW).
#### 4: Calculate Costs
Each week, a business costs 80 (70 + 1d20) gp to operate. Add 40 gp to that cost if the party is renting their storefront.
\columnbreak
#### 5: Calculate Profit
Profit is costs subtracted from revenue.
The party can use their small business to launder (legitimise) any money they receive from criminal activities by over-reporting their profit. With a successful DC 10 Charisma or Intelligence (Deception) check, investigations into the source of the party's funds cease. The penalty for laundering money is 26 weeks in jail.
#### 6: Split Profits
Other organisations will likely take a cut of the profit.
___
- ***Insurance.*** The party can opt to insure their business, paying 10% of the profit to an insurance company (owned and operated by the Union, of course). An insured business does not lose money if costs exceed revenue, and if the business is rendered permanently incapable of operating due to external forces, the party is paid out 3,000 gp total. A successful DC 20 Charisma or Intelligence (Deception) check allows a party to conduct an insurance scam; on a failure, they are jailed for 52 weeks.
- ***Union Cut.*** 20% of profit. If no profit is made, the party pays nothing.
___
Once all the cuts have been divvied out, the party splits the remaining profit (or cost, if no profit is made) equally between them.
### Relaxation
A character can spend a week relaxing in Endercoast. While relaxing, they can visit tourist locations like the Endercoast Officially Sanctioned Tourist Hotel and Museum (IW 14), the Petrified Dragon Turtle (IW 17), and the Sylvan Gardens (IW 19).
After relaxing for a week, a character gains advantage on saving throws to recover from long-term diseases and poisons.
### Research
Characters can spend a week researching at the Council Hall (IW 13) or at the Endercoast Officially Sanctioned Tourist Hotel and Museum (IW 14).
## Citywide Tables
### The Saltine News
The Saltine News is run by **Rita Barnacky**, a human **courtier** (NPC 207). She writes the headlines for her newspaper. She is known for a strong conservative bias and for her journalistic integrity, although the latter is usually said with sarcastic air quotes. There aren't any major competitors to her newspaper, especially not after it was backed by the Union of Small Business Owners.
If a character purchases The Saltine News for 5 sp, roll for the newspaper headline on the chart on the next page.
\pagebreakNum
##### Saltine News Headlines
| d8 | | Headline |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || TERRIBLE WEATHER TRIGGERS WIDESPREAD ALLERGIES: MAYOR YET AGAIN DOES NOTHING TO SOLVE THE WEATHER |
| 2 || COMMISSIONER CLAIMS GAMBLERS ARE 'COWARDS, LOSERS': HERE'S WHY HE'S RIGHT |
| 3 || SENTINELS OF EQUITY SHOW US OUR DIVINITY IN TOUGH TIMES |
| 4 || SPEND, SPEND, SPEND: THE ECONOMY MUST NOT FAIL (TURPH MUSHEEN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!) |
| 5 || EDITORIAL: THE DUTY OF A CITIZEN IS TO CARRY ON AS THOUGH WE WERE NOT IN THE FEYWILD |
| 6 || LLIIRA CIRCUS AND ELF GROVE POLLUTE THE PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS |
| 7 || HOW TO POISON PLANTS GROWING ON YOUR PROPERTY |
| 8 || MAYOR RECKLESSLY WELCOMES FEY INTO ENDERCOAST, AND IN UNRELATED NEWS, SHOULD YOU BE WORRIED ABOUT A PIXIE TURNING YOU INTO A GOBLIN? THE ANSWER IS YES. |
None of the articles provide any substantially greater context than the headline alone. It's hard to overstate how terrible of a newspaper this is.
### City Gossip
A successful DC 10 Wisdom (Insight) check allows a character to get a feel for the talk of the town. Roll on the following table for city gossip. Some are true and some are baseless conjecture; you can decide for yourself or roll a d6: a result of 5 or 6 means it has an element of truth.
##### City Gossip
| d20 | | Gossip |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Someone's going to try to unpetrify the petrified dragon turtle. Heard it was either the union or the sentinels. Don't know what they'd need it for, but I'm just glad I don't live in the North Ward. |
| 2 || Everyone in the circus is a Lliira worshipper. Heard Lliira's involved with some Feywild stuff. That's why we're over here, I reckon. Some archfey got rejected and is taking it out on us. Get rid of the circus and we'll be back home for supper. |
| 3 || Toss Mayor Attercat a platinum coin and he'll be eating out of your hand. He can get you dinner reservations anywhere in the city. Wish tossing him a coin would get the bridges fixed. |
\columnbreak
##### City Gossip (cont'd)
| d20 | | Gossip |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 4 || Mayor Attercat's gotta be a warlock. Sold his soul to an archfey and took the whole city with him. How else does he keep getting elected if we all know he's corrupt? |
| 5 || Commissioner Lasick used to work in infrastructure. Did you know he bought his degree? It's fake. He's a fraud! |
| 6 || The head chef of the Horizon's Edge Eatery is a warlock of the archfey. I just know it. He's in deep. |
| 7 || Matthew -- you know, of Matthew's Shop -- he married a salamander! Like the big red flaming kind. Straight up married her. Reckon she left him for a fire giant. |
| 8 || One of those sentinel loons -- the elf lady who's always speaking for them, Hermes Gland or something -- she got kicked out of The Prince for throwing a temper tantrum. |
| 9 || Sentinels have been going door to door recruiting anyone who listens to them. Targeting people who've lost their connection to their god. They've probably doubled in size since last month. |
| 10 || Some rich bitch ran bawling out of a room above the museum. You reckon she might've left some stuff behind? Make-up, money, maybe even an invitation to Shiner's. |
| 11 || Those knife-ears in the gardens brought us all here to the Feywild cause they want Endercoast to return to nature. We can't let them get away with it. Let's tear down the gardens and start building up houses. |
| 12 || The dragonborn with the magic shop -- what is she, silver, white? Silver -- she murdered all her competitors. That's why she's the only magic dealer in town. |
| 13 || Heard Matthew's Shop and Thinkiad's Magic Atrocities are competing to see who can dig the most magic items out of the caves. Maybe that's why we're in the Feywild -- we're just chips in a bet between the two of them. |
| 14 || Turph Musheen's got a plan to get us back to the Material Plane. I'm all for it, whatever he's cooked up. At this point I'd vote for him as mayor. |
| 15 || That blacksmith who runs the adventuring shop, he can't leave his forge. He's been cursed by a hag. |
| 16 || You really wanna impress a date? Take 'em to the seafood joint in the South Wharf. Heard they kill the lobster in front of you to show you it's really fresh. |
| 17 || The vultures that circle above Endercoast are just waiting for the whole city to die. If they wait long enough, it'll happen for sure. |
\pagebreakNum
##### City Gossip (cont'd)
| d20 | | Gossip |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 18 || You ever notice how there are so many clowns wandering around? I thought they were from the circus, but they don't actually do clowns in their show. Creeps me out. |
| 19 || These weird plants keep sprouting in my yard. Only thing that gets rid of them is straight-up poison, and even then, not for long. |
| 20 || The rain that keeps flooding the streets isn't natural. Something is causing it. Something dark and terrible and ancient.|
### City Mood
Each day, roll on the mood table to determine the attitude of the general populace with their circumstances.
##### Mood
| d20 | | Mood |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Riotous.*** The general population boils over with frustration from being locked away in the Feywild. In a show of violent protest, a small group of rioters burns down buildings, smashes windows, loots storefronts, and brawls with guards. |
| 2-14 || ***Discontented.*** The general population goes about their lives in a grumbling but accepting mood. |
| 15-17 || ***Nostalgic.*** Throughout the night, songs of the old world can be heard sung from apartment balconies. Bonfires roar, revellers tell stories of the families and friends they've left behind, and pubs run until dawn. |
| 18-19 || ***Hopeful.*** Rumours spread of a chance to return to the Material Plane. The city comes alive with excitement. People smile on the street. They give gifts to strangers. They dance and twirl with relief. |
| 20 || ***Silent.*** The city is draped in magical silence at twilight. Only voices are affected. This isn't an uncommon occurrence in the Feywild, and for once the sounds of nature surrounding the city take precedence. People gather at the edges to listen to the music of the forest. They drink, they revel, and when dawn arrives, the silence lifts, and so do spirits. Sometimes it's easiest to connect to one another without words. |
\columnbreak
### City Weather
Each day, roll on the weather table to determine the weather. The Feywild is no place for half-measures: the weather makes itself known. Get used to it.
Summers in the Feywild are humid every single day, and winters in the Feywild are cold every single day. Each season lasts for 14 weeks, longer than in the Material Plane.
##### Weather
| d20 | | Weather |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Cold.*** Anyone further than 5 ft. from a source of heat or another person takes 1d4 cold damage per round. Everyone huddles together in clumps and the streets grow empty. There is no snow, only cold. |
| 2-7 || ***Rainy.*** Torrential downpours fill the city. The streets flood with waist-high water. Sewage is backed up. People retreat to the upper floors of their homes. Anyone shorter than 3'6" risks drowning in the streets. The streets are difficult terrain for anyone without a swim speed, unless they move in the direction of the current. |
| 8-17 || ***Mild.*** The weather is pleasant, though the air is choked with pollen and other particulates. A failed DC 3 Constitution saving throw at the beginning of the day gives a humanoid the poisoned condition until twilight as they choke and sneeze uncontrollably. Mayor Attercat always fails his check, even with such a low DC. |
| 18-20 || ***Humid.*** The hot, stuffy air shortens the amount of time it's comfortable to spend outside. The cityfolk wear only necessities and guzzle down gallons of water. Humanoids who spend more than an hour at a time outside must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or incur a level of exhaustion. |
### Holidays
Endercoast celebrates the following eight holidays, most of them uncreatively named after the days they fall upon. Endercoast uses a modified version of the calendar of Harptos with the new year transitioning over in the autumn instead of the winter.
#### Winter
___
- ***Winter Solstice.*** Week 1. Things will only get better from here. Celebrants throw flaming torches from their windows which would traditionally melt the snow in the streets. Here in the Feywild without the snow, it's a bit of a fire hazard, but volunteer Union spellcasters patrol the streets to put out any fires.
- ***Midwinter.*** Week 6. Friends and family exchange exotic gifts. It's been of particular contention whether items obtained outside of city limits in the Feywild should be so freely traded, but contention hasn't stopped anyone from doing it.
\pagebreakNum
#### Spring
___
- ***Greengrass.*** Week 3. This is a farmer's holiday where the citizens of Endercoast head out into the farming fields to sow the seeds for the farmers while the farmers relax. The fields did not come to the Feywild with the rest of the city. Instead, it's now just an opportunity for people to stretch their legs and have a picnic outside the walls. Many fey creatures join in with this celebration.
- ***Homeward.*** Week 9. A new holiday for the city, Homeward marks the anniversary of the day that Endercoast was transported to the Feywild. Celebrants are encouraged to swap stories of what life was like back home, and to think about what they might do when they finally get back. It is a time for reflection on the past and planning for the future, a recognition that the present is a threshold that we all must pass through together.
#### Summer
___
- ***Summer Solstice.*** Week 1. The hottest, longest day of the year. It's a day reserved for sports, play, dancing, drinking, and loving. It's seen as impolite to head home before dark.
- ***Midsummer.*** Week 6. The holiday of Midsummer traditionally stands in for the founding of the city of Endercoast, even though the exact days don't match. It's a much more ceremonial affair than other holidays, with the mayor delivering a long, boring speech in the blistering heat to a crowd of disinterested citizens.
#### Autumn
___
- ***Highharvestide.*** Week 2. An opportunity to spend time with close family and to give thanks for everything that is still available to people of the city even in exceptional circumstances.
- ***New Years' Feast.*** Week 13. The new year is upon Endercoast and with it renewed hope for a better future. Maybe next year will be the year that the city is finally returned home. We can only hope. Most establishments run until the early hours of the morning as celebrants stay up all night to welcome in a new tomorrow.
### Feywild Influence
The Feywild seeps into Endercoast deeper and deeper for every day it remains in the realm. You can express the influence of the Feywild using options from the following table.
You can choose to have ongoing effects start at dawn and end at twilight, or you can make them permanent.
\columnbreak
##### Feywild Influence
| d12 | | Feywild Influence |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Goblins appear more frequently in back alleys, threatening good people with sharp sticks and scrap metal. People say they were once humans before those pixies got to 'em. |
| 2 || Brightly-glowing fire beetles skitter through the streets and along walls. It's strangely beautiful in the night-time. |
| 3 || Snowflakes fall down on a cold day, but on closer inspection, every snowflake is a pixie wearing an elaborate dress of goose feather. |
| 4 || All fires are green and all water is red. All earth churns like magma, all wind is cold. |
| 5 || When someone intentionally tells a lie, their nose grows a half inch. |
| 6 || The day is exactly the same as the day before. Everyone in the city rolls 1d100 and only remembers that the day has repeated on a result of 100. |
| 7 || All weapons become magical and glow in the presence of those who have intent to do their wielder harm. Everyone starts carrying a knife around with them at all times. |
| 8 || The sky shimmers with hypnotic patterns that threaten to leave an onlooker enraptured for hours on end. After the first few days like this, everyone gets used to staring at the ground while they walk. |
| 9 || Coins etched with the face of Cirrus the Jester somehow make their way into circulation. Shopkeepers reject them initially, but the sheer number of coins mixed in with the rest means that they become adopted as unofficial currency worth the same as an electrum piece. |
| 10 || Many commoners become enthralled by Lord Cals and secretly become **cultists of the archfey** (NPC 208). |
| 11 || The city looks as though it becomes mirrored; east is west and west is east. All signs are backwards. Staring at a mirror for one hour reverts this effect for an individual, but there is something waiting in the mirror for a select few. Something strange. |
| 12 || Dawn begins suddenly at midnight, lasts until mid-day, and then suddenly switches to twilight, which lasts until midnight.|

# The Feywild
Outside of the walls of Endercoast, the Feywild obeys few of the rules of man. The seasons are different, the weather is different, and all the regimented laws of gold pieces and tracking of weeks fall away. The Feywild is a timeless, forgotten place: the past, present, and future mix, and the old ways roll over to neverending change. Man still hangs on to the ways of the old world. The Feywild does as it pleases.
Having tasted the pull of the world of man, the party cannot take long rests in the Feywild. To take a long rest, they must return to Endercoast and spend their downtime there.

## Feywild Reference
##### Season
The season changes randomly every 42 (4d20) days, or whenever you feel like a change of pace.
| d4 | | Season | Mood | Weather |
|:---:|-|:-:|:-:|:-:|
|1|| Spring | Cheerfulness and Celebration | Any Weather |
|2|| Summer | Boldness and Aggression | Always Humid |
|3|| Autumn | Peace and Goodwill | Any Weather |
|4|| Winter | Contemplation and Sorrow | Always Cold |
##### Weather
| d20 | | Weather |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Cold.*** Anyone further than 5 ft. from a source of heat or another creature takes 1d4 cold damage per round. Creatures of the forest huddle together in clumps for warmth. There is no snow, only cold. |
| 2-7 || ***Rainy.*** Torrential downpours flood the forests. Beasts retreat to the tops of trees. Anyone shorter than 3'0" risks drowning in the muddy embankments. The forest is difficult terrain for anyone without a swim speed, unless they move in the direction of the current. |
| 8-17 || ***Mild.*** The weather is pleasant, though the air is choked with pollen and other particulates. A humanoid's failed DC 3 Constitution saving throw at the beginning of the day gives them the poisoned condition until twilight as they choke and sneeze uncontrollably. |
| 18-20 || ***Humid.*** The hot, stuffy air shortens the amount of time it's comfortable to spend in the open air. Humanoids who spend an hour outside must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or incur a level of exhaustion. |

## Create an Archfey
Into Wonderland provides four archfey who rule the immediate area of the Feywild that Endercoast was displaced into. You can swap out one or more of these archfey for one or more you've created yourself with the following steps.
### 1: Concept
Your archfey should be more than just a person -- they are a force of nature made manifest. Think of powerful emotions, abstract concepts, natural phenomenae, and existential threats to humanity. You can also base them off of recognisable tricksters like the Mad Hatter, Loki, Jack Sparrow, Koh, or Anansi. And if you prefer, you can make them human, in a sense: as flawed and anxiety-ridden as anyone else in such an absurd world.
### 2: Name
Come up with your own name or roll on the following chart.

### 14: Patron Bonuses
To represent the bonus (or detriment) of allying with this archfey collectively as a group, choose one of the four archfey included in this book and use their patron bonuses (IW), or use the generic patron bonuses below. Feel free to mix and match at will. A relationship of 1 grants the party a feature that promotes teamwork, and a relationship of 2 grants the group a magic item, usually an uncommon, rare, or very rare wondrous item.
##### Generic Patron Bonuses
| Relationship | | Bonus (or Detriment) |
|:---:|-|:-----------|

Enemies || Each party member has disadvantage on saving throws against spells due to a curse from the archfey. |

Ignorants || No effect. |
| 1
Allies || When a party member is within 10 feet of another party member, both party members have advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects. |
| 2
Family || The party receives the above benefit as well as the following magic item: Robe of Useful Items (DMG 195). |
### 15: Description
Write a short description of your archfey you can present to your players that captures their essence in one or two paragraphs. Be brief but evocative.
### 16: Court
Your archfey takes over one of the four fey courts described in this book (IW). You can make your own, but the courts are complex and feature heavily in the story. Pick the one that best fits your archfey. Feel free to change cosmetic details as needed.
### 17: Patronage
If one of your players wishes to become a warlock of your archfey, you can use the Archfey patron from the PHB or one of the four warlock patron options provided in this book (IW). If your archfey is a patron of a warlock in the party, you can start their patron relationship at 1 instead of 0 for the purpose of acquiring patron bonuses for the whole party.
### 18: Have Fun
Archfey are meant to be fun to play as the DM and fun to interact with as the party. Make sure to play up the most interesting aspects of your patron whenever possible -- melodrama trumps realism.
\pagebreakNum
## The Nature of the Fey
The fey are creatures of deep magic. Old magic. Pervasive magic. They are born in it to love it, hate it, to be killed by it, and to be born again. Ask any fey and they will tell you that they are the ones who are most natural to the world. Man is the race that is unnatural. Man rejects magic. And what could be less natural than that?
## Threshold of Endercoast
If you leave through Endercoast's gates, you'll wander for a while on the hills and beaches of the Sea of Vines before you inevitably find yourself back in town, hardly realizing the moment when the city took you again. And if you find yourself outside of Endercoast, returning home is even harder.
Endercoast may have been transported to the Feywild, but it is not a part of it yet.
### Entering the Feywild
The best person to ask about how to leave Endercoast is Jilwocky Niftywoop in the Sylvan Gardens (IW), a nature priest who has a special connection to the Feywild already due to her stewardship over the Sylvan Gardens in Endercoast.
> *"Aye, we're guests, unwilling guests but guests nonetheless. Don't be afraid of the wilds out there. They'll put you back in your quaint little city, safe and sound, as sure and as lovingly as one would put to bed the child of your friend. If you won't be having your bedtime, there are ways of getting out. I've been out a few times myself, and it's never the same, as surely as no man wades through the same river twice. Out there, the river may not even be the same by the time he steps out, dry as a beetle. It's not a physical place you cross. Not even close."*
To leave Endercoast, choose up to three of the following requirements. Only once these requirements are filled does the party find themselves immersed in the Feywild, Endercoast far behind them. Each party member must individually fulfill the requirements, or the party as a whole remains in Endercoast. You can tell the party about these requirements, but never write them down, and never tell them which ones specifically they need to fulfill.
___
- ***Humility.*** You must show deference to someone you believe to be beneath you.
- ***Humour.*** You must make someone laugh.
- ***Invitation.*** You must be invited by the Feywild itself. You'll know it when you see it.
- ***Sacrifice.*** Something dear to you must be given up.
- ***Serendipity.*** You must be guided only by chance.
- ***Threshold.*** You must pass through a door, gate, life event, or abstract idea that you have never passed through before.
- ***Truth.*** You must speak openly, without inhibitions, and with intent to speak truth. Leave cynicism behind.
___
You alone determine if the party is ready.
\columnbreak
If everyone is ready, while describing another location in Endercoast, shift your description to any location in the Feywild of your choice as naturally as you can with as little fanfare as possible. The party slowly regains memories of leaving Endercoast, travelling for a few days through the Feywild, but these memories are hazy, often contradictory. Roll on the Random Magic Item Table A (DMG) for a single item that the party has managed to acquire in the last few days of travel, and, if you'd like, give every party member a different memory for how it was acquired.
### Leaving the Feywild
Given that long rests cannot be taken in the Feywild, the party will need to return to Endercoast to take a long rest.
The world of man is a world of meaningless rituals. The party can return to Endercoast by engaging in ritualistic behaviour, mimicking their routines back home. They can recite their schedule, talk about mundane shared phenomenae like the weather, make small talk about future plans, try to track the accounting of a small business, complain about prices, brush their teeth, cook a standard meal, sing anthems of their homeland, check the time, complain about public figures ...
When the party has engaged in sufficient ritual, have each individual party member make a DC 10 Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, they remain in the Feywild. On a successful save, they return home, engaging in that same ritual but in a more mundane context. Unlike leaving Endercoast, returning home can be individually completed. Feel free to have a minute or two of roleplay with each party member as they return based on the ritual they were engaging in. The fog over their mind starts to lift, and they realize that they've actually been home for several days already, but they can't remember for the life of them how they actually managed to return. A party member gains the benefits of a long rest and also finds out that 1d8 weeks have gone by while they were gone, regardless of how much time they spent in the Feywild.
If a party member fails their check three times, they are trapped in the Feywild. They will stumble upon the rest of the party the next time that the party leaves Endercoast. Roll on the Magic Item Table A for an item they've obtained in their travels while everyone else was back home, and roll on the Fey Mark table (IW) for how the Feywild has influenced them.
Increase the save DC of the saving throw to return home by 1 for each of the following behaviours they engaged in while travelling through the Feywild. Fey creatures who are members of the party don't count.
- Ate food prepared by a fey creature.
- Danced with a fey creature.
- Stole an item from a fey creature.
- Insulted a fey creature.
- Lost a game to a fey creature.
___
If the fey creature is an archfey, increase the DC by 5 instead.
The party may or may not be aware that these reduce their likelihood of returning to Endercoast. You don't have to tell them why their check was more difficult. Most fey understand that engaging with the Feywild in these ways means it's harder to escape, but they probably aren't inclined to say so.

## Magical Effects
Every day, roll for a new magical effect that spreads across the Feywild, unless you don't feel like a magical effect today. The Magical Effects table contains 20 interesting magical effects, but feel free to make up your own. They don't have to be mechanically solid, or make sense, or be consistent from one character to the next. Do as you please.
Ongoing magical effects begin at dawn and fade away at twilight. You can change the timings if you want. Maybe these effects only happen during combat, or maybe they last a week, or maybe they're over in the blink of an eye.

| 7 || Your skin colour has changed to an obnoxiously bright shade of purple. |
| 8 || Your hair is *suuuper* messed up! |
| 9 || When you are sad, you appear content. When you are joyous, you appear depressed. |
| 10 || When you roll a natural 1, it is treated as a natural 20, and vice versa. |
| 11 || You can no longer speak ... but you can still *sing!* |
| 12 || You've misplaced your shadow. It probably nipped off somewhere for a quick nap and got lost. |
| 13 || You've forgotten someone or something important to you. Remove a bond, even if it's your only bond. |
| 14 || You can't see in colour, only shades of grey. |
| 15 || If you don't make someone laugh each day, you drop dead at twilight. |
| 16 || You've got puny little deer antlers. |
| 17 || You've died and been resurrected by a hag. You had to leave something behind. Lose one of your racial traits or class features of your choice. |
| 18 || A tiny storm cloud hovers above your head, drizzling pathetically and occasionally zapping you with harmless static bursts. |
| 19 || You're two feet shorter. |
| 20 || Ten years have passed for you since the last time you met your party. Roll for another fey mark. |
## Fey Pranks
Even if you haven't been lost in the Feywild, the fey are mischievous creatures. You will inevitably be pranked. Roll on the Fey Pranks table. Ongoing pranks last until twilight unless stated otherwise.
##### Fey Pranks
| d12 | | Fey Prank |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Your hair grows at the speed of rumours. It's unmanageable by mid-day and impossibly long by twilight, at which point it all falls out and then grows back to how it was before. |
| 2 || You get painful, loud hiccups. |
| 3 || Any coins you have on your person grow spider's legs and rip their way out of your satchel. They form a colony in the woods with a strict heirarchy: copper at the top and platinum at the bottom. |
| 4 || A **goblin** (MM) approaches, selling merchandise he's picked off the ground. A clump of dirt, a broken branch, a dead spider, half a worm, a stick, a leaf. One hundred gold coins each. If you buy nothing, **sprites** emerge from the trees and mock him mercilessly for his failures. |
| 5 || A **giant tortoise** (IW) slowly, agonisingly crosses the path in front of you. **Pixies** (MM) ask you to wait patiently and guard the area, because all will be lost if the tortoise cannot cross. Great enemies shall soon descend on the tortoise. The fate of the Feywild is at stake. The tortoise finishes crossing after one hour. No enemies arrive to stop it. |
| 6 || Every time a bag is opened, it makes a little fart noise. |
| 7 || All of your equipment gets covered in glitter. You'll likely be finding bits of glitter in your bag for the next few years. |
| 8 || Your weapon, shield, or arcane focus transforms into the severed head of a pig. When you hold it, it screams and bursts apart into beetles, which quickly burrow into the dirt and are gone. You find your lost equipment in polished condition an hour later just lying on the ground, unaffected.|
| 9 || A "kick me" sign is placed on your back. It can't be removed. |
| 10 || A hummingbird hovers around your head. Each time you miss with an attack roll or have an enemy succeed on a saving throw against a spell you've cast, the hummingbird pecks you in the ear. |
| 11 || There's a crude curly moustache drawn on your face. You can't wash it off. |
| 12 || A raven flies past and drops a letter into your lap. Express delivery just for you. The letter reads, *"I admire you in secret. And I just think you're swell. I hope you get my letter. I wish to wish you well."* The letter is secretly from ... the raven! |

## Map
Trying to map the Feywild is foolish. It is less a physical place to move through and more an emotional truth to be navigated. Put no more thought into maps.
## Travel
To get to different key locations in the Feywild, you must walk through the woods and let them guide you on your path. Each location has different emotional truths you must meet to end up there, emotional truths that you must embody in your travels. You, as the DM, have final say in where a party ends up.
While travelling, you can roll on the Random Encounter tables (IW) or on the Fey Pranks table (IW) for events that happen during travel.
A character can travel to each location while deep in the Feywild or even while still in Endercoast. It's possible to arrive accidentally (and in fact quite likely). Pay attention to the emotional truth of each location (IW), and if you feel a party member is acting in such a way that they would be granted passage to the location, whisk them away even if they're in the middle of something else.
## Key Locations
### Bullywug Swamp
> *"The bullywugs believes themselves the incontrovertible masters of their domain. Show deference to all frogs and toads you meet. Give to them an offering of peace. They will lead you to their king."*
Describe the following scene when the party arrives.
> *Lilypads bounce with joy. Weeping willows cry crystal tears into the pond, water as clear as an epiphany. You can see thousands of tadpoles coursing in lazy circles. Two frog-men surface. They croak, and you understand their croak to mean "Welcome", though suspicion swims in their bulbous eyes. Seated upon a throne of confident untruths, the bullywug king leans down and smiles.*
#### King Slithercroak
Slithercroak is a bullywug **king** (NPC 220). He can speak Common fluently (though only due to his magic items). The other **bullywugs** (MM) can only speak Bullywug and a few simple phrases of Sylvan.
___
- ***Personality.*** Slithercroak has a grandiose sense of self-assuredness. Any indication that he is not the true king of the Feywild is merely laughed off, barely worth a remark.
- ***Ideal.*** Slithercroak's sheer confidence in his version of reality is strangely admirable. So much that other bullywugs and even some other fey creatures go along with his assertions unquestioningly.
\columnbreak
___
- ***Bond.*** Slithercroak's stewardship over the swamp has allowed it to remain beautiful. Many other swamps in the Feywild are dark, gross places. Not here.
- ***Flaw.*** Slithercroak is utterly incapable of realizing the truth of his station: he is a ruler only of a small band of bullywugs, and the Feywild is too big and too complex for one mildly stupid frog man to rule it all.
#### Offerings
King Slithercroak can offer the crystal tears of his willow trees. These crystal tears can purify water for drinking. They could be used to clean the sewers and to decontaminate the city's supply of drinking water. The cultivation of these willow trees requires them to weep, so each morning King Slithercroak tells each tree exactly how pathetic they are. If seeds of these willows are planted in Endercoast, a similar strategy will need to be put into place. They must weep.
#### Price
In exchange for the crystal tears, the king tells the party that many of his people have become lost. They must capture his lost bullywug followers and convince them to return home to the swamp. Send at least three bullywugs home to him and he will grant them their crystal tears, because he is a kind, just, and reasonable king who cares for the wellbeing of his subjects.
#### Another
The bullywug king speaks with reverence, oddly enough, of one called the Princess of Dewdrops. She seems to be the only fey creature that the king is willing to even consider to not be one of his subjects. Tears roll down his fat cheeks as he speaks of her beauty and her power, and when his tears touch the water of the pond, green sickness spreads. The crystal tears of the willow trees eliminate this sickness as quickly as it appeared.
### The Court of Jest
> *"After a show, meet an actor backstage. Behind the stage you will find an identical theatre, only this time you are the actor and the actors are the audience. Impress them and the court will accept you into their ranks of performers and acrobats and clowns. You are one of them, now, and that can never be taken from you."*
You can find information on the Court of Jest in Part 3 (IW).
### Dewdrops
> *"Spread joy where you go, and damn the consequences. Who cares if you inconvenience the many if it means just one person will remember that day for the rest of their life?"*
You can find information on Dewdrops in Part 3 (IW).

##### Cursed of Dearest Gran
| d6 | | Regret |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || *"Dearest Gran cured my husband's sickness, but made him forgetful and stupid. One day, in frustration, I struck him. He died."* |
| 2 || *"I traded all the mushrooms from my garden. One year later, a rich businessman came to my door, having heard of my wonderful mushrooms. He looked to make a purchase, but I had none left to trade. So I stole them back from Dearest Gran's hut."* |
| 3 || *"I asked Dearest Gran to make me handsome in the hopes that the one I loved would finally look my way. I become so handsome that a dryad stopped me on my way home, unable to contain her affections, and my beloved was forgotten."* |
| 4 || *"I demanded eternal life, and now, here I float, a thousand years old to the day."* |
| 5 || *"I was impatient for my inheritance, so I slew my father and mother. Worried that the crime would be pinned on me rather than my accomplice, I pleaded with Dearest Gran to clear my name. She just laughed."* |
| 6 || *"I promised Dearest Gran my firstborn son, but I never married. On my deathbed, I smiled at my cleverness, but then I saw Dearest Gran's scowling face, and I felt her twisted claws on my throat."* |
### Fields of Open Air
> *"Feel the wind on your face and go where it pushes you! Do not worry about time, or space, or responsibilities, or needs, or wants, or desires, or anything else that should tear your body or your mind from the freedom of the open air!"*
Describe the following scene when the party arrives.
> *An endless plain of delights. Rolling hills to a horizon that your eyes can never meet. A breeze that speaks the language of the grass. Only the nicest and prettiest of insects fluttering from blade to blade. It is as close to Elysium as you will ever reach.*
The **centaurs** (MM, IW) of the Feywild have made their home here. They frolick in the fields. They barely acknowledge the party's presence. Only one of them, a centaur whose lower half is a whirlwind of grass, dares to approach them. He introduces himself as Shambler of the Blades.
\columnbreak
___
- ***Personality.*** Laid-back, calm, collected, and bold in his assumptions.
- ***Ideal.*** Freedom without direction.
- ***Bond.*** His brother was overtaken by the vines and became a shambling mound.
- ***Flaw.*** He can't make up his mind on anything.
#### Offerings
If the people of Endercoast were to open their hearts to the most beautiful aspect of the Feywild -- the freedom of the open air -- then this minor realm could surround the city and protect it from the more dangerous locales.
#### Price
Eliminate the government of Endercoast. Let the Sentinels of Equity take control of the city. They are the only faction that truly understands what Endercoast could become.
#### Another
Shambler of the Blades speaks of the Sea of Vines and how it threatens Endercoast. He knows that his brother, Gardener of the Vines, was consumed in its churning mass. This Sea of Vines is the work of Dailili, the Tree of Infinity, whose excess rage has boiled over into the waters.
### Hag Hovel
> *"I can see it behind your eyes. A need. A need that cannot be fulfilled. You know who can help you. You know what you must do."*
Describe the following scene when the party arrives.
> An old wooden playset illuminated by a single beam of light through the thick black canopy in the woods. A rocking horse swings lazily back and forth. Swings creak with each gust. A climbing wall is overtaken with vines. In the middle of the playset, nursing a weed growing through the litter, is an old woman with kind eyes. She wears a patchwork dress.
Dearest Gran is a **night hag** (MM) that is fey instead of fiend, and she is of neutral alignment; she did not fall to the temptations that her sisters did. You can alternatively use a **bheur hag** (VGM) to represent her. She has available to her all of the spells that would normally only be available to an entire hag coven (if a bheur hag, specifically a nature coven), a reminder that her sisters are still working their evil plans.
She has glamoured her hovel such that it only appears to those who have paid her a price for her services. Her hovel is a simple wooden hut with giant grasshopper legs. It can hop thousands of miles in a single bound. Her hovel is much bigger on the inside than the outside, perhaps infinitely big, and it is filled with enslaved **zombies** (MM), **revenants** (MM), **ghosts** (MM), and other undead creatures who were once mortals that tried to cheat her. There are also plenty of **commoners** (MM) paying off a 10-year period of service.
\pagebreakNum
___
- ***Personality.*** Dearest Gran takes special interest in the stewardship of those who fall between the cracks. She offers her services to the downtrodden, the ugly, the hopeless, and the desperate. She grows angry if her services are taken advantage of and despises the most out of anyone those who think they are a better person than they truly are.
- ***Ideal.*** Truth, chance, investment, and comeuppance.
- ***Bond.*** Dearest Gran's sisters fell to the temptation of fiendish power and left the Feywild forever. There is no one that she hates more than her sisters, yet they are also the source of the power she wields.
- ***Flaw.*** Dearest Gran treats everyone like young children who don't know what's best for themselves, and she is greatly offended if her services are not accepted.
#### Offerings
Dearest Gran is a problem solver. She can cure sickness, disease, and curses. She can grow any type of herb, poison, curative, potion, or alchemical component. She can change your appearance, not just magically, but physically and permanently. She can influence the minds of others to love you, to accept you, to cherish you. She can grant you the one-time ability to cast *contact other plane* or even put you in contact with those left behind in the Material Plane. And she can grant eternal life. But all of these offerings come with a price.
#### Price
Dearest Gran demands one of the following prices for her services. She never describes the effect, refusing to elaborate beyond her simple request. The prices paid cannot be recovered through anything short of a *wish*.
##### Hag Prices
| d20 | | Price |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***"A moment of your time."*** Each time the character rolls initiative, roll a d6. On a roll of 5 or 6, the character disappears for one round, having been whisked away by Dearest Gran to help her with some simple mundane task like getting a jar down from a high shelf. The character returns to the space they left, or the nearest empty space. Once this has happened 10 times, Dearest Gran no longer seeks their services. |
| 2 || ***"A lock of your hair."*** Dearest Gran creates an identical clone of the character. The clone must serve her for 14 years. The clone insists that a mistake was made: the clone is the original and the character is the clone. |
| 3 || ***"That lovely smile."*** The character can no longer feel joy. They lose proficiency in all Charisma-related skills. |
| 4 || ***"What no one could teach you."*** The character loses proficiency in all Wisdom-related skills and Wisdom saving throws. |
\columnbreak
##### Hag Prices (cont'd)
| d20 | | Price |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 5 || ***"A pound of flesh!"*** Dearest Gran strips a full pound of skin from the character's back, reducing their maximum hit points by 4d6. |
| 6 || ***"Your memory."*** Dearest Gran removes the memories of the character from the minds of everyone except the other party members.|
| 7 || ***"Comfort, safety, home."*** If the character already has a home, they return to find it burned to the ground, along with everyone and everything inside. Regardless, they can never settle in a permanent place, always having to stay at inns or other such establishments. |
| 8 || ***"All those beautiful phrases."*** The character loses knowledge of two languages. If this would leave them without a language, they learn to read and write Sylvan, but can't speak it. |
| 9 || ***"Your strength."*** Surprisingly literal -- the character's Strength score becomes 6. |
| 10 || ***"Your soulmate."*** If the character is in a romantic relationship, roll a d6. On a roll of 1-2, Dearest Gran banishes their partner to her private demiplane, where they must serve her for 14 years. On a roll of 3-6, or if the character isn't in a romantic relationship, Dearest Gran whisks away a random stranger they meet in their travels. |
| 11 || ***"That spring in your step."*** The character loses 10 feet of movement speed and cannot jump. |
| 12 || ***"Your bond with a deer one."*** The next time a character encounters a deer, it seems to invite them closer, and even is willing to eat out of their hand and nuzzle their face. But, just as the character grows fond of this deer they've encountered, it kicks them in the stomach and bolts. |
| 13 || ***"Your shadow."*** Dearest Gran strips the character of their shadow, which becomes a **shadow** (MM) that must serve her for 14 years. The character also loses two points of Constitution. |
| 14 || ***"The thrill of battle."*** Any critical hits made by the character become normal hits, and rolling a 20 on a death save only grants 1 success. |
| 15 || ***"Your pain."*** The character cannot feel pain. The DM rerolls the character's hit points and keeps them hidden. From there on out, the DM doesn't tell the player how many hit points the character has remaining or how much damage they've taken. |
| 16 || ***"The ring finger of your most careful hand."*** The character loses proficiency in all Dexterity skills, and they can no longer marry. |
| 17 || ***"Your last words."*** Dearest Gran whispers the character's last words in their ear, chilling them to the bone. The character dies after their second failed death save, instead of their third, and can't be resurrected through any means short of a *wish*. |
\pagebreakNum
##### Hag Prices (cont'd)
| d20 | | Price |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 18 || ***"The fire in your heart."*** After each week spent without taking fire damage, the character gains one level of exhaustion.|
| 19 || ***"Your wealth."*** The maximum value of wealth the character can possess is 500 gp, not including the value of items. Any coins they receive that would bring their net worth above 500 gp instead turn to chocolate. Any bank notes burn up. Any promises are broken. |
| 20 || ***"Your freedom."*** Dearest Gran enslaves the character for 14 years. The next time the party returns to Endercoast, they find the character somehow already waiting for them, fourteen years older. |
#### Curses
Attempting to cheat Dearest Gran or exploit a loophole in her price angers her and will result in a terrible curse inflicted upon any who have crossed her. You can make up your own curse or roll on the Hag Curses table. These curses can be removed by nothing short of a *wish* or by the grace of Dearest Gran.
##### Hag Curses
| d6 | | Curse |
|:----:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Servitude.*** Upon being reduced to 0 hit points, the character rises immediately as a **revenant** (MM) with the time limit waived, and they are whisked away to Dearest Gran's hut or the Feydark (whichever she decides is most fitting). The revenant must serve Dearest Gran eternally. |
| 2 || ***Loneliness.*** The character takes 10d4 psychic damage whenever their skin touches another's. The person they touch takes 1d4 psychic damage as well. |
| 3 || ***Torment.*** Each long rest, the character is tormented by nightmarish visions of Dearest Gran. They must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or they gain a level of exhaustion and can't recover from exhaustion that rest. |
| 4 || ***Howling.*** The character becomes a wolf lycanthrope (MM). |
| 5 || ***Ugliness.*** The character becomes repulsive in appearance, voice, mannerisms, and spirit. Their Charisma becomes 6. |
| 6 || ***Madness.*** The character rolls on the Indefinite Madness table (DMG). |
\columnbreak
#### Another
Dearest Gran has a bitter rivalry with Lord Cals of the Litter and the Peat, who disapproves of her meddling with the border between life and death. Lord Cals waits patiently for Dearest Gran to make a mistake and reveal herself to him.
### The Litter and the Peat
> *"All you have to do is wait. Wait for the sun to rise. Wait for the rain to fall. Wait for the mountains to be ground to dust. Wait for the storms to pass, for the storms to rattle once more, for the ground beneath your feet to split and crack apart with age. Wait for the floods, wait for the droughts, wait for a trillion mayflies to cry out that they will not be forgotten, and wait until they are forgotten. Wait for the sun to grow cold, the rock to grow hot, the stars to die out, the universe to be reborn. And there you will find the Litter and the Peat. Just wait."*
You can find information on the Litter and the Peat in Part 3 (IW).
### Satyr Village
> *"If music be the food of life, play on. Play not from the sheet. Play not from memory. Play the songs of the earth itself. Oh, you already know it, don't you?"*
Describe the following scene when the party arrives.
> *You've been listening to this music since the day you were born. These goat-legged men and women are no musicians. They are prospectors. They have dug deep, and they have revealed what was always there. This is the music that spun the world's threads. These satyrs in their humble huts in a graven grove have grown closer to the Weave than a thousand wizards studying for a thousand years could ever hope for.*
Whispering Puck is the village's leader, a satyr **whisper bard** (NPC) or **creation bard** (TPN) who has a magic set of panpipes that he can use to cast *greater invisibility* a few times a day, or more if he can play well. He prefers to remain invisible. The party can hear his voice, and his music, and all the notes of his panpipes, but he stays hidden even as he speaks to them about their purpose in the village.
___
- ***Personality.*** We are but vessels for the song of creation.
- ***Ideal.*** No words can express what music has revealed all along.
- ***Bond.*** I am in love with all the satyrs of my village, and they love me just the same.
- ***Flaw.*** I am ashamed of my face, which is as human as faces come. I wish vainly for my features to reflect my wild nature. And so I stay invisible.
\pagebreakNum
#### Offerings
Endercoast's sense of community is at risk. With the stress of a new situation, and with hope of return growing dimmer each day, the people need to feel like they belong to something greater than themselves. Don't let them turn to the hokey Sentinels of Equity or the gods that still remain. Invite us into the city, so we do not have to sneak in so often, and we will help people feel alive again as surely as we are all but notes in the Weave.
#### Price
An invitation is all that Whispering Puck asks for. Free reign to pass in and out of Endercoast as he pleases. He has been in and out of the city many times already, of course, but always as an outsider. Never as a friend.
#### Another
Whispering Puck talks at length about the greatest feast he has ever had the fortune of gatecrashing. It was put together by those sprites and pixies of the faerie village, the one down the path of relaxation, guided by the tinkling of laughter. Maybe they can feed not just one's heart, but also one's stomach. Maybe they can feed a city.
### The Sea of Vines
> *"Don't you long for the sparkling Bay of Driving Winds? Don't you remember what it was once like back home? All those summers on the pier, fishing and splashing and diving and swimming. All of that is gone, now, and all that remains is the vines. There will be no fishing, no splashing, no diving, no swimming. Put your nostalgia behind you. And let yourself be consumed."*
Describe the following scene when the party arrives.
> *The sea thrashes with anger. How dare you come here. How dare you set your city down on these shores. In the anger of the fey, the sea is no more, replaced only with the churning matter of the earth. There is an island, on the horizon, too far by many leagues to reach, and you know deeply and primally that, even if you could walk unharmed through the vines and not be sucked into their bottomless depths to be consumed, you would never reach that horizon, and you would never set foot on the island that no doubt carries the key to returning home.*
A **shambling mound** (MM) patrols the coast and shambles sheepishly towards the party. It shapes its roots into a sylvan symbol, and in your mind you know that symbol to mean "NOT HOSTILE". That is all it can get across unless someone in the party can speak Druidic or can cast *speak with plants*, at which point its meaning is clearly communicated from there.
#### Offerings
The shambling mound is one of the only reasonable cuttings of the Sea of Vines left, and it speaks to the party's good nature towards negotiation.
\columnbreak
It offers endless water, all the water that the vines consumed, an infinite amount that stretches perhaps all the way through the border ethereal and into the Plane of Water itself. It communicates all of these through symbols.
#### Price
The shambling mound says that once water is being supplied to the city, the city has one year and one day to remove itself from the Feywild. After that, the Sea of Vines will once more begin to creep in through the cracks in the cobblestone. One year and one day. That is all that can be afforded.
#### Another
The Sea of Vines was spawned by Dailili, the Tree of Infinity. If she created it, maybe she can tame it.
### Sparkling Grove
> *"Place in your mind thoughts of safety. Your mother embracing you after a bad dream. The peaceful chirping of birds in the spring time. The touch of a lover's hand on your cheek. These thoughts will bring you to the grove."*
Any characters who attempt to travel to the Sparkling Grove with intent to harm its residents take 24d8 necrotic damage upon entry, their skin sloughing off and their bones collapsing to feed new growth in the soil. They die instantly if this damage brings them to 0 hit points. Describe the following scene when the party arrives safely.
> *The grove is flooded with life, and the sunlight dappled through the blue leaves above your head reminds you, to your great curiosity, of memories you did not think you had from before you were even brought into the world. This place is safe, and more than safe, it is protected by an enchantment more ancient and more feral than the oldest of your ancestors. Even the waterfalls do not churn.*
The party is greeted by a **dryad** (MM) named Nym. Nym is glad that they have arrived safe, for though the enchantment over the grove protects those who live here, it is always unfortunate to see a life cut short so quickly and so violently. She is willing to speak with the party on behalf of the grove, but she wants them to know that she does not necessarily represent the views of all who live here. Many of the elves and firbolgs, and especially the lizardfolk, believe that the grove should stay hidden, and that all trespassers should feel their skin slough from their bones. Be glad that she was able to talk sense into the others, at least for now.
___
- ***Personality Trait.*** Nym is a mother figure to the others.
- ***Ideal.*** The Sparkling Grove must be preserved at all costs. It's one of the only rays of light in the chaos of the Feywild.
- ***Bond.*** Nym takes responsibility for the wellbeing of the elves, firbolgs, lizardfolk, gnomes, and dryads of the grove.
- ***Flaw.*** Nym feels crippling remorse for every creature killed by the grove's enchantments, deserved or otherwise.

| 3 || The target drops prone and immediately ends its turn. |

___
- ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.
- ***Cloud Breath.*** You replace your Faerie Magic trait with this trait. As an action, you exhale a puff of smoke at one creature within 5 feet of you.

At the start of each of your turns, you roll a d6. On a roll of 5 or 6, you regain expended uses.
- ***Static.*** As a reaction when you take damage from a melee attack, you can deal 1 lightning damage to the attacker.
## Kuo-Toas
The fishy kuo-toa live in the Feydark, the caves that run through the marrow of the Feywild. They worship the archfey, who they believe are indistinguishable from gods. Many archfey are propped up only through the belief of their kuo-toa followers.
A kuo-toa that travels with the party has the following goal.
___
- ***Blind Worship.*** Do everything in your power to bring glory to the archfey you serve.
\pagebreakNum
### Kuo-Toa Traits
___
- ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1.
- ***Alignment.*** In the Feywild, kuo-toa tend to be neutral in alignment.
- ***Age.*** Kuo-toa only live to about 50 years and come of age at about age 10. They are desperate to find meaning in their short lives, which usually means devoting themselves wholly to a deity of their own making.
- ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet, and you have a swim speed of 30 feet.
- ***Size.*** The tallest of kuo-toa are about five feet, and the shortest are about four feet. Your size is Medium.

- ***Darkvision.*** You have Darkvision out to 60 feet.
- ***Otherworldly Perception.*** As an action, you can activate your otherworldly senses, which last for one minute. While active, you can sense the presence and pinpoint the location of any creatures within 30 feet of you that are invisible or on the Ethereal Plane. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- ***Slippery.*** You have advantage on ability checks and saving throws made to escape a grapple.
- ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Kuo-Toa, and you can speak Elvish well enough to be understood.
## Satyrs
Satyrs, goat-legged humanoids native to the feywild, live hedonistic lifestyles interrupted only by vicious bouts of violence. If you're lucky, the violence is against one another. If not, it's against anyone foolish enough not to compliment them on their musical talents.
A satyr that travels with the party has the following goal.
___
- ***Make Merry.*** Tell jokes, drink wine, do crimes, and dance like nobody is watching. Stir the pot. There is nothing sadder than a bored satyr.
### Satyr Traits
___
- ***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.
- ***Alignment.*** Satyrs hate the law.
- ***Age.*** Satyrs are functionally immortal, but few live more than a century due to their lifestyle.
- ***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
- ***Size.*** Satyrs stand between five and a half and seven and a half feet tall. Your size is Medium.
- ***Fey.*** Your type is fey instead of humanoid.
- ***Magic Resistance.*** You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
- ***Musician.*** You have proficiency with Performance and two musical instruments of your choice. Most satyrs play the harp, the fiddle, the harmonica, or the pan pipes.
- ***Natural Weapons.*** Your ram horns are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
- ***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Elvish and Sylvan.

# Classes
You can choose to play a character who gained their class abilities in the Material Plane, or one who draws their skills or magic from the Feywild, either being born in the Feywild or having their powers unlocked after they were spirited away. You ultimately decide where and how your character gained their abilities. Remember that characters in this campaign start at 8th level, which means that you are an experienced, capable adventurer, one who is well-suited to the challenges ahead.
## Material Plane Classes

## Path of Mercury
Barbarians in the Feywild use the wild magic to guide them in combat, surrendering wholly to chaos.
### Mercury Rage
Starting when you take this path at 3rd level, your rages propel you into a flurry of senseless carnage, embracing the primordial backdrop of life in the multiverse.
Choose six Mercury Actions (listed on the next page) and label them with the numbers 1-6. While raging, you can use your action to take a Mercury Action. Roll a d6 twice and choose either result, taking the corresponding Mercury Action. Mercury Actions have the following extra rules.
- If the action forces a creature to make a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus.
- You don't benefit from your Extra Attack feature if the action allows you to make an attack.
- If an action is impossible to take, you instead waste the action.
- You can change your chosen options when you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum
- Your Mercury Rage does not prevent you from taking other actions otherwise available to you, such as to Attack or to Dash, unless you have already rolled for a Mercury Action.
#### Mercury Actions
___
- ***Beast Shape.*** You take the form of a beast of CR 1/4 or lower that you have seen before. Your equipment melds into your new form and you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, your alignment, your personality, and your class features. You can then take one of the beast's available actions. You return to your original form at the beginning of your next turn, if your rage ends, or if the beast form is reduced to 0 hit points. Any excess damage carries over to your original form.
- ***Challenge.*** A creature of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you that can see and hear you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, until the end of its next turn, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and it can't willingly move further away from you.
- ***Charge.*** You target a creature you can see at minimum 20 feet away and move up to your speed towards it, then make a melee weapon attack against it if you're in range. This doesn't count as expended movement on your turn. On a hit, the target takes an additional 10 (3d8) damage and, if the creature is Large or smaller, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
- ***Escape.*** You take the Dodge, Disengage, and Dash actions.
- ***Flurry.*** You make three melee weapon attacks. Starting at 5th level, you make four melee weapon attacks.
- ***Frighten.*** Each creature within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
- ***Grow.*** You cast *enlarge/reduce* on yourself, using the enlarge option. You can then make one melee weapon attack. The spell ends at the end of your next turn or when your rage ends.
- ***Power Strike.*** You make one melee weapon attack against a target that you can see. You gain a +2 to the attack roll, and on a hit, the attack is considered to be a critical hit.
- ***Rally.*** Two allies of your choice within 30 feet of you that can see and hear you can use their reaction to make one weapon attack. If they do so, they have advantage on the attack roll.
- ***Rejuvenate.*** You regain hit points equal to 1d12 + your Constitution modifier and you gain 1d12 temporary hit points.
- ***Teleport.*** You magically teleport up to 120 feet to an empty space that you can see. If you teleport within 5 feet of a creature, you can then make one melee weapon attack against it. Starting at 5th level, you can make two melee weapon attacks against that creature.
- ***Wild Magic Surge.*** You roll on the Wild Magic Surge table (PHB 104), with the following changes.
1. A result of 21-22 instead refers to any effect originating from you that requires the target to make a saving throw, rather than a spell you've cast.
2. A result of 27-28 instead allows you to make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action each round for 1 minute.
3. A result of 33-34 instead maximises the damage of the next attack you hit with in the next minute.
4. A result of 59-60 instead replenishes one use of your rage.
5. Any ongoing effects end when your rage ends.
\columnbreak
### Mercury Rising
Your Mercury Rage improves at 6th level: instead of rolling a d6 twice, you roll a d8 twice. Choose one additional option to be labelled number 7.
When you roll an 8, you can choose to reroll that die and then take the Mercury Action of both dice, potentially taking two actions on your turn instead of one. If you would take the same Mercury Action twice, you instead waste the second action.
If at any point the result of both dice is 8, you don't reroll them and instead take one mercury action of your choice, which can be any action from the full list, not just from the seven you've chosen.
### Mercury Straining
Your Mercury Rage improves again at 10th level: when you roll an 8 when determining your Mercury Action, instead of rerolling the die, you can choose to instead select any Mercury Action from the full list, not just from the seven you've chosen. You take this action in addition to the action corresponding to the other die (i.e. two actions total).
### Mercury Breaking
Your Mercury Rage improves a final time at 14th level: instead of rolling a d8 twice, you roll a d10 twice. A roll of 9 or 10 is treated the same as an 8.
## Circle of Growth
Druids of the Circle of Growth promote the unrestrained expansion of the Feywild's endless forests. Once the entire Feywild is choked with vines, they will move onto other realms.
### Combat Wild Shape
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, while you are transformed by Wild Shape, you can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.
### Circle Forms
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a plant. You must otherwise follow the limitations in the Beast Shapes table.
Starting at 4th level, you can transform into a plant with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 4, rounded down, ignoring the Max CR column in the Beast Shapes table. Common plant forms are included in the Plant Shapes table on the next page.
Some new plants are included at challenge ratings otherwise not accounted for in the Monster Manual. These new plants are marked with an asterisk\* and are included in Into Wonderland as statblocks for use with your Wild Shape. Each new plant has rules for how it interacts with your Wild Shape.
\pagebreakNum
##### Plant Shapes
| Plant | Challenge Rating |
|:---:|:-----------:|
| Awakened Shrub (MM 317) | 0 |
| Twig Blight (MM 32) | 1/8 |
| Needle Blight (MM 32) | 1/4 |
| Vine Blight (MM 32) | 1/2 |
| Awakened Creeper\* (IW) | 1 |
| Awakened Tree (MM 317) | 2 |
| Awakened Trapper\* (IW) | 3 |
| Awakened Oak\* (IW) | 4 |
| Shambling Mound (MM 270) | 5 |
If you have access to Volo's Guide to Monsters, you can also transform into the following plants with your DM's permission.
##### Additional Plant Shapes
| Plant | Challenge Rating |
|:---:|:-----------:|
| Vegepygmy (VGM 196) | 1/4 |
| Thorny (VGM 197) | 1 |
| Vegepygmy Chief (VGM 196) | 2 |
| Wood Woad (VGM 198) | 5 |
#### Awakened Creeper
If you are charmed, frightened, or have levels of exhaustion when you Wild Shape into an awakened creeper, these conditions (and the amount of time you've had each condition) are suspended while in Wild Shape, but resume when you return to your original form if the conditions are still relevant, up to the DM's discretion.
#### Awakened Trapper
If you've taken the form of an awakened trapper and have a creature swallowed while reverting back to druid form, the swallowed creature is no longer restrained by you and is ejected prone into an empty space within 5 feet of you.
#### Awakened Oak
You can use the awakened oak's Innate Spellcasting trait to cast the oak's spells while in Wild Shape.
#### Thornies, Vegepygmies, Wood Woads
If your Regeneration trait is active, you still return to your original form when you are reduced to 0 hit points, but excess damage doesn't carry over.
\columnbreak
### Circle Spells
Your mystical connection to the land infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to circle spells connected to plants.
Once you gain access to a circle spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.
##### Circle of Growth Spells
| Druid Level | Circle Spells |
|:---:|:-----------|
| 3rd | *barkskin, spike growth* |
| 5th | *plant growth, speak with plants* |
| 7th | *blight, grasping vine* |
| 9th | *awaken, tree stride* |
### Floral Aura
Starting at 6th level, while using your Wild Shape to take the form of a plant, you release a pleasant-smelling aura in a 30-foot radius. You and creatures of your choice within the radius receive one of the following benefits of your choice for as long as they stay within range. You can choose a different benefit each time you use your Wild Shape.
___
- ***Armor of Barkness.*** A target's skin develops a rough, bark-like texture. If a target isn't wearing heavy armor, its AC increases by 1.
- ***Clear Heads.*** A target has advantage on saving throws to resist being charmed or frightened or to end such an effect on themselves.
- ***Photosynthesis.*** A target regains 1d4 hit points when they start their turn in direct sunlight. Once a target has received hit points equal to twice your druid level from this aura, it can't receive any more hit points from it until it finishes a long rest.
- ***Rooted Defense.*** A target can take opportunity attacks against hostile creatures that enter a space within 5 feet of its position.
### Treant Wild Shape
Beginning at 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into a treant. The following additional rules apply.
- Any animated trees you create with the treant's Animate Trees action give off the same Floral Aura that you do.
\pagebreakNum
- Your treant form and its animated trees don't have hit points. Instead, each time you take damage, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 10 or to half the amount of damage taken, whichever is higher. You have advantage on the save if the damage is bludgeoning or piercing, and disadvantage if the damage is fire. On a failed save, you revert back to your druid form and any animated trees you've created turn back into inanimate trees, taking root if possible. Your druid form does not take the damage that caused you to revert.
- You make the same save if one of your animated trees takes damage, but the consequences of a failed save is only that the animated tree that took damage becomes inanimate again, taking root if possible.
___
Once you have used this feature, you can't use it again until you have finished a long rest.
### Animate Plants
Starting at 14th level, you can summon forth plants to do your bidding. As an action, you animate and take control of inanimate plants within 60 feet of you. You have a pool of 8 points you can spend, choosing plants from the Animate Plants table to animate. You can take this action (and any subsequent bonus actions to control the animated plants) even while transformed by Wild Shape.
Each inanimate plant you choose becomes its animated counterpart under your control, and its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores are 5, unless they are already 5 or lower. As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally command any plant you've animated with this feature if the creature is within 120 feet of you (if you control multiple plants, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the plant will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the plant only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the plant continues to follow it until its task is complete. The plant is under your control for 1 hour, after which it becomes an inanimate plant again and takes root if possible.
Once you have used this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
##### Animate Plants
| Inanimate Plant | Animated Plant | Points |
|:---:|:-----------:|:------:|
| Small shrub | Awakened Shrub | 1 |
| Small pile of loose twigs | Twig Blight | 2 |
| Small pile of loose needles | Needle Blight | 3 |
| Medium mass of creeping vines | Vine Blight | 4 |
| Gargantuan mass of creeping vines | Awakened Creeper | 6 |
| Huge tree | Awakened Tree | 8 |
\columnbreak
If you have access to Volo's Guide to Monsters, you can also animate the following plants.
##### Animate More Plants
| Inanimate Plant | Animated Plant | Points |
|:---:|:-----------:|:------:|
| Small thicket of thorns | Vegepygmy | 4 |
| Medium thicket of thorns | Thorny | 6 |
| Small thicket of thorns | Vegepygmy Chief | 8 |
## Survivalist
Survivalist fighters don't battle the storm. They weather it. Engaging with a survivalist in combat leaves an enemy gasping for breath from attrition after a long and hard-fought battle while the fighter slips away, no worse for wear.
### Keep Moving
Starting at 3rd level, you are steady and consistent over long distances and suffer less from the strains of both travel and combat. You ignore any detrimental effects of difficult terrain, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws, and when you take a long rest, you require only half the normal amount of time you would otherwise need.
### Padded Armour Master
Starting at 3rd level, when you wear padded armour, your AC is 16 plus your Constitution modifier, you have resistance to cold and fire damage, and padded armour doesn't give you disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
### Let Me Catch My Breath
Starting at 7th level, when you spend hit dice to heal yourself, you regain the maximum amount possible from each die. Additionally, as an action, you can spend two hit dice to immediately gain the effects of a short rest. You do not gain hit points from the hit dice you spend to trigger this feature, but you can immediately spend additional hit dice to heal yourself.
### Sure Footing
Starting at 10th level, when you wear padded armour, your AC is 18 plus your Constitution modifier. Additionally, you have advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws, plus advantage on saving throws and ability checks to avoid being knocked prone or to avoid or escape from a grapple.
### Extra Padding
Starting at 15th level, while you're wearing padded armour, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit, and you have immunity to cold and fire damage.
\pagebreakNum
### Survivor
Starting at 18th level, at the start of each of your turns in combat, you regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point). You don’t gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points or if you have more than half of your hit points left.
## Way of Gardens
Monks who follow the Way of Gardens complete a long hermitage of solitude in the twisting forests of the Feywild, where they learn to become one with all living things. To a gardener, a creature is not a distinct entity, but part of a larger whole. Our actions have far-reaching consequences.
### Unforeseen Consequences
Starting at 3rd level, after hitting a target with an unarmed strike, each subsequent hit with an unarmed strike on the target for the next minute deals an additional 1 poison damage, which accumulates with each hit. For example, your fifth hit against the same target in one minute deals the regular amount of damage plus 5 poison damage. Each time you land an unarmed strike, the minute resets. The maximum amount of extra poison damage you can deal per hit with this feature is 10.
### Natural World Protector
Also starting at 3rd level, you can spend ki points to reproduce the effects of certain spells listed in the Garden Spells table. To cast one of these spells, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don't need to provide material components for it. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
##### Garden Spells
| Spell | Ki Cost |
|:---:|:-----------:|
| *druidcraft* | 1 |
| *thorn whip* | 1 |
| *detect poison and disease* | 2 |
| *speak with animals* | 2 |
| *locate animals or plants* | 4 |
| *protection from poison* | 4 |
| *plant growth* | 7 |
| *speak with plants* | 7 |
| *conjure woodland beings* | 10 |
| *grasping vine* | 10 |
| *commune with nature* | 13 |
| *tree stride* | 13 |
\columnbreak
### Tree Hugger
Starting at 6th level, you can shield your allies from harmful effects. Whenever a creature other than yourself within 30 feet of you that you can see takes bludgeoning or piercing damage, you can use your reaction to shield the target with your ki, forming an instantaneous protective layer of bark. You spend 2 ki and the target has resistance to the damage of the attack or effect.
### Harmony
Starting at 11th level, your ki flows through all creatures. When you cast one of your Natural Spells, you can treat any friendly creature within 30 feet of you as the caster of the spell. You provide all other aspects of the spell.
### One WIth All
Starting at 17th level, when you die, you can transfer your consciousness to a willing beast or plant within 1 mile of the location you died. Over a period of 24 hours, the chosen beast or plant transforms into the form you took when you died, merging both of your consciousnesses together. While transforming, you are incapacitated and have 1 hit point. If you are reduced to 0 hit points while transforming, you die and can't resurrect yourself through this method until you return to life through other means.
After returning to life using this feature, you gain one proficiency or language of your choice, as well as one personality trait, ideal, bond, or flaw of the DM's choice. These should be related to the beast or plant that you chose.
## Primal Warden
As a ranger of the natural world and an expert at living at one with the land, it is the duty of a Primal Warden to extend protection to anyone who is an ally of the forests, and to strike down any who threaten the natural order of things.
### Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you replace your ranger spellcasting feature with this feature and replace your ranger spell list with the Primal Warden spell list. Instead of referring to the Ranger table for your spell slot progression, you refer to the Primal Warden Spellcasting Table.
***Cantrips.*** You learn two cantrips from the primal warden spell list. You learn additional primal warden cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the primal warden spellcasting table.
***Spell Slots.*** The Primal Warden Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your primal warden spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell *absorb elements* and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast *absorb elements* using either slot.
***Preparing and Casting Spells.*** The primal warden spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
\pagebreakNum
You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the primal warden spell list. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your ranger level divided by three (rounded down; minimum of 1). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 7th-level ranger, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include five spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *absorb elements*, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
**Spellcasting Focus.** You can use a druidic focus (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your primal warden spells.
***Spellcasting Ability.*** Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your primal warden spells, since you learn your spells through your connection to nature.
You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a primal warden spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

### Lord Cals
Lord Cals of the Litter and the Peat is an ancient archfey, perhaps older than the Feywild itself. He is as patient as the winds that flatten a mountain. He is as determined as a root that grows in a crack in a stone. He waits, sometimes for millennia, as eventually all good things shall fall into his lap. Lord Cals knows that the problem of Endercoast will soon go away. He only has to nudge it along.

Additionally, you don't need to concentrate on spells while they are being readied.

Dailili was once a dryad whose many children in the material realm were cut down by an overzealous woodsman. She slew the woodsman but was banished to the Feywild for the crime of murder. In the Feywild, she grew to the power of an archfey on spite alone. She now sits on her rooted throne, plotting her revenge, growing ever stronger. A tree has sprouted from her fey court, an extension of her very will, that is fated to consume all of existence.

## School of Witchcraft
Not all wizards learn their practice in an academy. A witch learns their trade by stealing, hiding, squirreling themselves away for months and years alone. They may not have had the means to pay for their tuition, or perhaps they were banned or expelled. Witches thrive in small communities where they cure the sick, guard the walls, chase out intruders, care for the land, and pursue their magical interests in their own way.
### Bonus Cantrips
When you become a witch, you learn one of the following cantrips: *druidcraft, guidance, resistance,* or *thorn whip*. Whenever you learn a new wizard cantrip, you can add these cantrips to the list you can choose from.
### Expanded Spell List
When you pick your wizard spells, you can add the following spells to the wizard spell list. These spells are considered to be wizard spells for you.
##### Witch Expanded Spells
| Spell Level | | Spells |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1st || *bane, goodberry* |
| 2nd || *lesser restoration, protection from poison* |
| 3rd || *plant growth, speak with dead* |
| 4th || *conjure woodland beings, death ward* |
| 5th || *awaken, contagion* |
| 6th || *conjure fey* |
| 7th || *regenerate* |
| 8th || *animal shapes* |
| 9th || *storm of vengeance* |
### Potions
Starting when you take this subclass at 2nd level, as part of a short or long rest, you can spend one hour brewing a potion using a cauldron or a pot, magically creating the bottle for the potion as you do so. You can infuse the potion with the effects of a spell of 3rd level or lower that you have prepared by expending the material components of the spell, half a gallon of water (most is boiled off), and extra potion components detailed below.
If the spell requires a creature to target, a creature falls under the effects of the spell either by drinking the potion or having its contents splashed on it. They have disadvantage on any saving throws they must make as part of the spell.
You know when a creature drinks your potion. You can choose to allow the drinker to immediately cast the infused spell using your spellcasting ability, spell attack bonus, and spell save DC. Otherwise, the drinker falls under the effects of the spell as normal.
\pagebreakNum
When splashing a creature with your potion, you have a reach of 5 ft. and a range of 30/90 feet. The splasher uses your spell attack bonus or their own attack bonus. On a hit, the potion splashes its contents over the target and shatters. On a miss, it shatters without effect.
Once the potion has been drunk, emptied, shattered, or left unused in these ways for 14 days, it is no longer infused and its magic fades. If it still has liquid in it, the liquid becomes clean water. You can have a number of potions infused at once equal to your Intelligence modifier.
#### Extra Potion Components
Each time you brew a potion, you must expend more than just the infused spell's components. Roll on the Extra Potion Components table or pay another price given to you by your DM. If you can't obtain these extra components before the end of your rest, the potion fails to brew.
##### Extra Potion Components
| d8 | | Component |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || A memory. |
| 2 || The life of a beast. |
| 3 || A weapon that has tasted blood. |
| 4 || A lost item, still being searched for. |
| 5 || A lock of hair. |
| 6 || A kiss, and a promise. |
| 7 || The dying words of an enemy. |
| 8 || A minute of contemplation. |
### Witch's Familiar
At 2nd level, the spell *find familiar* appears in your spell book if you don't have it already, and you can ignore the material components for the spell. You always have this spell prepared, and it doesn't count towards your prepared spells.
### Witch's Coven
At 6th level, your form a coven with your party. Choose up to 6 allies you can see; they become your coven mates. A new coven mate must agree to be part of the coven and undergo a 1-hour ritual as detailed below.
After finishing a long rest, you can choose to remove coven mates from your coven, or add new ones if you have fewer than six.
You gain a two-way telepathic connection to your coven mates up to 60 feet away, and coven mates can telepathically communicate with each other as long as they are each within 60 feet of you. You can cast any of your spells as though they originated from any coven mate of your choice, except spells with a range of self, as long as they are on the same plane of existence as you.

>
> *"I do!" they call.*
>
> *"Then we are one. We are true."*
### Witch's Hut
From 10th level, you can extend your hospitality to your coven. At the start of a short or long rest, you can touch a point on the ground to raise up your hut from the earth. Your hut is a 30 foot by 30 foot single-story building made of magically-reinforced wood. While within your hut, you and your coven mates gain the maximum amount of healing from hit dice, and you are alerted if creatures approach the hut with ill intent. At the end of the rest, your hut grows legs, spits everyone out, and walks away. It disappears from sight after a minute.
### Animator
At 10th level, the spells *unseen servant*, *mouse* (IW), and *animate objects* appear in your spell book if you don't have them already. You always have these spells prepared, and they don't count towards your prepared spells.
### Combat Brewing
Starting at 14th level, you can instantly brew potions mid-combat. While initiative has been rolled, you can use your action to brew a potion, infusing it with any spell you have prepared. You must expend the material components of the spell as well as one extra potion component of your choice from the list above. The potion materialises in your empty hand. As part of the action you took to brew the potion, you can drink it, splash it, or pass it to an ally within 5 feet of you.
You can brew a potion in this way even if you already have your maximum number of potions infused. Unlike other potions, this potion loses its infusion after 1 minute. Once you have used this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again.
### Potion Mastery
Also starting at 14th level, you can infuse your potions with any spell you have prepared.

| 3 || Your true love. |
| 4 || An item of great value. |
| 5 || A promise unfulfilled. |
| 6 || Revenge. |

Discuss the answer to these questions with your DM. You can decide on your answer, or roll on the Reason to Leave table.
##### Reason to Leave
| d6 | | What You Will Leave |

| 2 || A family you would not have chosen for yourself. |
| 3 || An arranged marriage. |
| 4 || A cursed item. |
| 5 || An oath you regret taking. |
| 6 || An order of banishment. |
## Why You Joined
The Feywild can be a vast and lonely place. Why have you chosen to join with a party of adventurers? What can you offer the party? What can they offer you?
\columnbreak
Discuss the answer to these questions with your DM. You must decide for your own benefit why the character you play is appropriate for this adventure and deserves to be in the party.
A character in the party must be willing to delegate responsibility, to allow others to have the spotlight, and to accept that failure in this land of chaos is not only inevitable but frequent. Such is the way of life in the Feywild.
## Backgrounds
### Endercoast Backgrounds
The following backgrounds from the PHB are appropriate to represent characters who live in Endercoast.
- Acolyte (PHB)
- Charlatan (PHB)
- Criminal (PHB)
- Entertainer (PHB)
- Guild Artisan (PHB)
- Guild Merchant (PHB)
- Noble (PHB)
- Sage (PHB)
- Urchin (PHB)
___
In addition, the following new background from Into Wonderland can also represent characters well established in Endercoast.
- Guard (IW)
### Feywild Backgrounds
The following backgrounds from the PHB are appropriate to represent characters who live in the Feywild.
- Charlatan (PHB)
- Hermit (PHB)
- Outlander (PHB)
___
In addition, the following new backgrounds from Into Wonderland can also represent characters well established in the Feywild.
- Archfey's Courtier (IW)
- Hag's Servant (IW)
### Acolyte (PHB)
There are only three religions in Endercoast with significant following now that the city has been transplanted into the Feywild.
The Church of Her Inimitable Joyousness worships Lliira, Goddess of Joy, and their worship of her takes the form of an acrobatic circus performance.
The elves, firbolgs, gnomes, and druids of the Sylvan Grove worship Silvanus, God of Wild Nature, although they are seen with suspicion by the rest of the city due to the circumstances.
\pagebreakNum
The Sentinels of Equity are largely non-denominational, but still mysteriously receive clerical powers for their priests.
If you serve as an acolyte of the Sentinels of Equity, your DM may allow your party to begin with a relationship of 1 with this faction.
You can worship other gods, but you might be the only acolyte of such a god in the city still actively practicing your faith. Even the most devoted feel totally cut off from the divine in the Feywild.
### Archfey's Courtier
You are a courtier in the majestic court of a powerful archfey, such as Lord Cals, Cirrus the Jester, Dailili, Tettlebug Moonflower, or another archfey of your choice. You are often sent on missions of both high and low importance in accordance with the mercurial whims of your master.
___
- **Skill Proficiencies.** History, Performance
- **Languages** Sylvan or one Feywild language of your choice (IW)
- **Tool Proficiencies** One musical instrument of your choice (PHB)
- **Equipment** A musical instrument you're proficient in, four sets of beautiful courtier's robes (one for each season), a token of your archfey such as a sprig of mistletoe or a shrunken skull, a common magic item of your choice, and a belt pouch containing 25 chocolate coins
#### Audience with the Archfey
As a courtier, you can obtain an audience directly with the archfey you serve. You will need to present a very compelling argument for why they should pay attention to you right now as opposed to anything else of interest in their realm.
Your DM may decide that this background allows your party to start at a relationship of 1 with the archfey you serve.
#### Suggested Characteristics
Archfey like to keep exuberant courtiers to entertain themselves, and you are no different.
##### Personality Trait
| d8 | | Personality Trait |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || I am utterly devoted to my master, who is perfect in every way. |
| 2 || The music I play captures the hearts of all who listen. |
| 3 || All the world's a stage, and I am but an actor on that stage. I say my lines, and I am done. |
| 4 || My mood changes dramatically depending on the season. |
| 5 || I am as carefree as the wind. |
| 6 || Only I know the true nature of the archfey. And they have secrets I shall never tell. |
| 7 || I AM VERY LOUD. |
| 8 || The world is so full of wonders. How could anyone settle on just one vocation their whole life? |
\columnbreak
##### Ideal
| d6 | | Ideal |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Chaos.*** The nature of the Feywild is to reject the laws that mankind imposes on it. (Chaotic) |
| 2 || ***Emotional Truth.*** One must not tell lies. The Feywild will know. (Neutral) |
| 3 || ***Music.*** I hope to one day play a song so beautiful that the Weave itself sings along. (Good) |
| 4 || ***Love.*** You can't argue with how you feel. (Chaotic) |
| 5 || ***Devotion.*** I have sworn myself to my archfey because I believe in their cause. (Neutral) |
| 6 || ***Trickery.*** The world needs pranksters as much as it needs lawyers and bankers and accountants. (Chaotic) |
##### Bond
| d6 | | Bond |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || This is by no means the first archfey for whom I am a courtier, and they will not be the last. |
| 2 || My instrument was carved by an ancient being and still bears a portion of its soul. |
| 3 || I have seven lovers in seven realms. May they never meet. |
| 4 || I believe that my archfey and I share a special relationship, deeper and truer than with other courtiers. |
| 5 || I was once a human on the Material Plane. Look how times have changed. |
| 6 || My six thousandth birthday was just last month. Or was it my seven thousandth? Who can keep track? |
##### Flaw
| d6 | | Flaw |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || I'm so rAnDoM! |
| 2 || Lend me your trust and you shall quickly regret it. |
| 3 || I have little patience for things that do not bring me immediate joy. |
| 4 || There is none more glorious than my archfey, and I will burn to death without hesitation anyone who claims otherwise. |
| 5 || I can't take anything seriously. It's all just a big joke. |
| 6 || Responsibility is a four letter word. |
\pagebreakNum
### Charlatan (PHB)
You have taken another's identity in Endercoast. You may be a native resident of Endercoast, or you may be a spy for an archfey. Either way, your fragile existence in Endercoast is one that teeters on the knife's edge of discovery.
### Criminal (PHB)
Life was always hard for those without means, but now that Endercoast has fallen into the Feywild, the means available to you have shrunk even further. A life of crime makes the most sense when you're not even sure that money will be accepted tomorrow.
### Entertainer (PHB)
You wonder how you could possibly hope to compete with the beautiful ballads sung by fey creatures, but hey, you still get work, and there's nothing that gets the Endercoast public's mind off their predicament more than a jaunty tune.
### Guard
Commissioner Huck Lasick has really doubled down on recruitment into the Endercoast Guard. As a guard, you have a duty to protect the city, and although in the past this was mostly against itself, now there are greater incursions that threaten public safety.
___
- **Skill Proficiencies.** Intimidation, Investigation
- **Languages** Any two Endercoast languages of your choice
- **Equipment** A uniform identifying you as part of the Endercoast Guard, a set of Thieves' Tools you took from the evidence locker, a set of manacles, a set of common "civvie" clothes, and a pouch containing 15 gp
#### Stop! You've Violated the Law!
You have the authority to stop, question, and frisk Endercoast civilians, who are likely to cooperate with you in the pursuit of criminals.
Your DM may allow your party to begin at a relationship of 1 with the Endercoast Guard faction.
#### Suggested Characteristics
Use the tables for the Soldier background (PHB) as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to suit your identity as a member of the Endercoast Guard.
### Guild Artisan (PHB)
The arts have always been a major part of Endercoast's prosperity. The festivals are traditionally a celebration of that. But in the Feywild, the government has turned its attentions on more practical matters, and you find that the guilds are having to borrow a lot of money to keep the dividends flowing for their members.
\columnbreak
### Guild Merchant (PHB)
Endercoast has a powerful union, the Union of Small Business Owners, which you are invariably a member of if you want to obtain and keep a business license. Circumstances have arisen such that your regular business has gone under or has been made redundant with the displacement into the Feywild, but there is always the opportunity to start a new business (IW).
Your DM may allow your party to begin at a relationship of 1 with the Union of Small Business Owners faction.
### Hag's Servant
You made a bad deal. You've paid for it. You were young when you first entered into servitude to the hag, and now you are fourteen years older, no wiser, no stronger, just tired. The hag was true to her word: your service has ended. Now what?
___
- **Skill Proficiencies.** Medicine, Nature
- **Languages** Two Feywild languages of your choice, one of which is Sylvan unless you already know it
- **Equipment** A petrified crow, a mirror that shows your face when you are old, an iron rat's skull, an unopenable tiny chest that beats rhythmically, a voodoo doll of a long-dead enemy of the hag, and a bright pink mushroom
#### A Hag's Eye View
You understand innately the meaning of any deals a hag (or other similar deal-making fey creature) offers the party. For example, you know that the demand for "That spring in your step" means that you will lose 10 feet of movement speed and will no longer be able to jump.
#### Suggested Characteristics
Fourteen years of servitude to a hag is more than enough to change someone forever.
##### Personality Trait
| d8 | | Personality Trait |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || I've grown sympathy for the hag over the years. |
| 2 || I did not deserve this fate. Someone must pay. |
| 3 || An inescapable obsession compels me to organise everything I see into just the right configuration. |
| 4 || Direct eye contact makes me uncomfortable. |
| 5 || I collect interesting trinkets. |
| 6 || Don't talk to me about hardship. I've worked longer days and done harder things than you could imagine. |
| 7 || I carefully catalogue every new plant and animal I encounter out of habit. |
| 8 || I make sure to acknowledge the hard work of familiars, unseen servants, and other such helpful creatures summoned by magic. If I had my way, I'd free them all. |
\pagebreakNum
##### Ideal
| d6 | | Ideal |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || ***Freedom.*** I will not be enslaved. Not again. Not this time. (Chaotic) |
| 2 || ***Pain.*** Everyone should have to endure a taste of what I went through. (Evil) |
| 3 || ***Curiosity.*** I was able to learn a lot from the hag, despite her best efforts. (Chaotic) |
| 4 || ***Negotiation.*** Don't make my mistake. Be clear in the terms of every deal. (Lawful) |
| 5 || ***Cynicism.*** Life sucks, and then you die. Get used to it. (Neutral) |
| 6 || ***Nature.*** I appreciate the beauty of every defiant little pocket of life found in the natural world. (Good) |
##### Bond
| d6 | | Bond |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || I made friends with a very smart rat who kept me sane during my servitude. I was devastated to learn she was the hag in disguise. |
| 2 || By the end of my time with the hag, we had grown mutual respect for one another. We were not equals, but sometimes we came close. |
| 3 || The home I left behind is no longer there for me. I wouldn't want to go back anyway. It's time I struck out on my own. |
| 4 || A satyr tried to save me, but was captured and enslaved by the hag. One day I will go back to save him in return. But first I must plan. |
| 5 || I watched a dryad grow from a shrub to a tree. Every day I would sneak her a ray of sunshine I had caught in my pocket. I wonder where she is now. |
| 6 || I made a promise before I was enslaved. There is still time to fulfill it. |
\columnbreak
##### Flaw
| d6 | | Flaw |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || Empathy exhausts me. There is no more room in my heart for those who have suffered misfortune. I've seen it all before. |
| 2 || Hard work never set me free. What's the point of it now? |
| 3 || I'm much more confident in Sylvan than I am with my native language. I've lost touch with my roots. |
| 4 || The terrible things I've seen have left me with a scar on my mind that will never go away. |
| 5 || I don't fully believe that I am free. Each night I fear I will wake up with the hag standing over me, compelling me back to her service. |
| 6 || I've inherited all the worst traits of a hag. |
### Hermit (PHB)
You've spent countless years in the Feywild mulling over the meaning of such a place. The secret you've uncovered likely has to do with how to defeat a powerful archfey, or how to return Endercoast to the Material Plane. Discuss with your DM the nature of such a secret.
### Noble (PHB)
You're part of the upper class of Endercoast, and you likely have ties with Mayor Attercat and the government due to your family's extensive briberies.
The DM may allow your party to begin at a relationship of 1 with the Endercoast Government faction.
### Outlander (PHB)
The Feywild is home to many countless tribes of many countless races. There are humans, not in great number, but they are here. And there are more exotic tribes of goblins who have rejected Maglubiyet, lizardfolk and bullywugs who have wandered here from their homelands, kuo-toas who got lost in the Underdark and swam to the Feydark, wood elves and eladrin and firbolg that have made their home in the tree tops, gnomes that live in glamoured villages in hills, and centaurs in the open fields.
### Sage (PHB)
Endercoast has plenty of magic users and plenty of researchers. After the displacement, such scholars became highly sought for their knowledge of the planes.
### Urchin (PHB)
You've been doubly displaced from your home, now. Perhaps the Feywild is an opportunity to improve your situation. Then again, how many opportunities have you let slip?
\pagebreakNum
## Languages
Everyone in Endercoast speaks Common as well as any languages of their race. The most commonly spoken languages are as follows.
- Common
- Draconic
- Dwarvish
- Elvish
- Gnomish
- Halfling
- Infernal
- Orc
- Thieves' Cant
___
In the Feywild, communication can be more difficult, and there are hundreds of unique languages. The following languages are spoken enough to be notable. Elvish is the only language that is commonly spoken in both Endercoast and the Feywild, so it is the language of trade between them, despite vastly different dialects.
Whenever someone from Endercoast and someone from the Feywild attempt to understand each other without the aid of magic, each speaker must succeed on a DC 10 Intelligence check or they will misunderstand the other speaker.
- Bullywug
- Draconic
- Druidic
- Elvish
- Giant
- Goblin
- Kuo-Toa
- Sylvan
## Feats
Any feats from the PHB are appropriate for this adventure. In addition, the following feats are available to those who embrace the chaotic nature of the Feywild.
- Chaos Caster (IW)
- Feywild Navigator (IW)
### Chaos Caster
You've learned to accept the chaos of the Weave into your spellcasting.
Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma by 1. Each time you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, roll a d20. On a roll of 20, you trigger a Wild Magic Surge (PHB 104).
If you are a sorcerer with the Wild Magic bloodline, you instead bolster your class feature by triggering a surge on a roll of 1 or 20.
### Feywild Navigator
You are in tune with the shifting of the Feywild.
Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma by 1. You innately understand the emotional frame of mind you need to travel to any area of the Feywild, and you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks and Charisma saving throws made as part of navigating the Feywild.
\columnbreak
## Monster Lists
### Druid Wild Shapes
The following beast shapes are available to any druid with the Wild Shape feature who is familiar with the Feywild. This is also a good list to pick from when you cast *polymorph*.

### Conjure Fey
#### Fey Creatures
The following fey are available to be conjured with the spell *conjure fey*. You can't summon a fey creature if you don't have access to the sourcebook it comes from.
Although the four warlocks of the archfey contained in this book can be of a fey race, they cannot be summoned by this spell as they are protected by their archfey. Similarly, Poppiplob in archfey form meets the criteria for being summoned by this spell, but his status as an archfey protects him from being summoned.
Creatures summoned by this spell cannot cast *conjure woodland beings* or *conjure fey* themselves.

#### Fey Spirits in Beast Form
The following beasts are available to be conjured with the spell *conjure fey*, changing their type to fey.
Fey spirits of challenge rating 0 have been removed from this list to save space. If you really want to use *conjure fey* to summon a CR 0 creature, you can find a list of them in the Druid Wild Shape and Conjure Animals tables above.
When you summon an ancient beast with this spell, such as the ancient elk, you summon the beast itself; its type doesn't change to fey. The spell otherwise has the same effect. If you attempt to summon an ancient beast that is dead, the spell fails.

## Spell Descriptions
#### Babble
*3rd level enchantment*
___
- **Available to:** bards, clerics, druids, warlocks, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 60 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (a weasel's tongue)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You inflict a curse of uncontrollable bouts of gibberish. Choose a humanoid or fey that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or babble incoherently for the duration. While babbling, the target can't speak, make bite attacks, use breath weapons, or use spells that require a vocal component. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the spell ends for the target.
***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one additional humanoid or fey for each slot level above 3rd. The humanoids or fey must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
#### Coin Toss
*Enchantment cantrip*
___
- **Available to:** bards, clerics, sorcerers, warlocks, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 30 feet
- **Components:** V, S, M (a coin, which the spell consumes)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous
___
You enchant a coin and flip it. The coin hovers and spins for a split second, then darts towards a creature you can see within range, bursting on impact with a flash of energy. Make a ranged spell attack roll against the target. On a hit, roll a d2. The target takes 1 force damage on a roll of 1 and 8 force damage on a roll of 2.
***At Higher Levels.*** This spell's damage increases either by 1 on a roll of 1 or by 8 on a roll of 2 when you reach 5th level (2, 16), 11th level (3, 24), and 17th level (4, 32).
#### Despair
*4th level enchantment*
___
- **Available to:** bards, sorcerers, warlocks, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 60 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (the skull of a Tiny beast)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You remind your target of the hopelessness of existence. Choose a humanoid or fey that you can see within range. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or become despondent. A creature with 5 or less Intelligence or that is immune to being charmed automatically succeeds on this saving throw. While despondent, the target is incapacitated, it automatically fails any ability checks or saving throws made to resist being grappled or restrained, and attack rolls have advantage against it. At the end of each of the target's turns or when the target takes damage, it can make another Charisma saving throw. On a success, the spell ends for the target.
\columnbreak
***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional humanoid or fey for each slot level above 4th. The humanoids or fey must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them.
#### Discord
*6th level enchantment*

- **Range:** 60 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (a bouquet of flowers thrown high in the air, which the spell consumes)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You cause infighting amidst your enemies' ranks. Choose a point within range. Each creature of your choice within a 20 foot radius of that point must succeed on an Wisdom saving throw or become charmed by you. While charmed, each target must use its action on its turn to make a melee weapon attack against an ally within reach. The target will move up to its speed to get in reach of one of its allies if it is safe to do so. At the end of each of the target's turns or when the target takes damage, it can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the target is no longer charmed.
#### Euphoria

- **Available to:** bards, druids, rangers, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, S, M (an expanded balloon)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous
___
You breathe a puff of sweet-smelling, dizzying gas like that of a faerie dragon. Each creature in a 15-foot cone originating from you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, roll on the Euphoria Breath Effect table. The target must act accordingly on its next turn.
##### Euphoria Breath Effect
| d6 | | Effect |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || The target takes no action or bonus action and uses all of its movement to move in a random direction. |
| 2 || The target uses all of its movement to move in a random direction. It can otherwise act normally. |
| 3 || The target drops prone and immediately ends its turn. |
| 4 || The target takes the Dodge action and immediately ends its turn. |
| 5 || The target can act normally, but all its attack rolls are made with disadvantage and all saving throws against its spells and effects are made with advantage. |
| 6 || The target behaves normally. |
\pagebreakNum
#### Extract Dream
*5th level divination*
___
- **Available to:** clerics, druids, warlocks, wizards
- **Casting Time:** Casting Time
- **Range:** Touch
- **Components:** V, S, M (a spinning top)
- **Duration:** 10 minutes
___
You extract the ectoplasmic energy of dreams by laying your hands upon a sleeping humanoid or fey. The target makes a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target's dreams, if it has any, appear in a hazy bubble above its head. The dreams are, by nature, meaningful only to the dreamer. A person viewing the dream in this way can make a DC 20 Wisdom (Insight) check to fathom the meaning of the dream, learning a secret about the dreamer on a success.
If the dreamer is being targeted by the spell *dream*, a representation of its nightmares materialises as a living nightmare, such as a terrible monster, the caster of *dream*, or even the dreamer themselves. The living nightmare is any CR 4 or higher creature with the following changes.
- Its hit points are halved.
- Its type is abberation.
- It has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and it has immunity to necrotic and poison damage.
- It has the ***Incorporeal*** trait of a **ghost** (MM).
- It can't move further than 30 feet from the dreamer.
- If the dreamer dies or is no longer unconscious, the living nightmare disappears.
- If the living nightmare dies, the dreamer can sleep more soundly for a while. If the same caster of *dream* attempts to cast it again on the dreamer in the next 42 (4d20) days, the spell fails.
#### Knight's Hop
*1st level transmutation*
___
- **Available to:** sorcerers, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 5 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (a small carved figure of a horse)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous
___
You move a creature as though they were a knight on a dragon's chess board. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within range. On a hit, you move the target in a straight line 10 feet in any direction and then 5 feet in a perpendicular direction, as long as there is space to do so. You can choose to move the target 5 feet and then 10 feet perpendicular instead. Against a willing target, you don't need to hit them with a melee spell attack, you just need to touch them.
\columnbreak
#### Mouse
*2nd level transmutation*
___
- **Available to:** bards, druids, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 30 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (a little winding handle)
- **Duration:** 1 minute
___
You animate an object with the speed and timidness of a mouse. Choose an Tiny object within range. The target grows four little furry legs and becomes an **animated mouse** (IW) for the duration, immediately rolling initiative and attempting to escape to a hiding spot. It sees all other creatures as deadly threats, including you. The effects end if the animated mouse is reduced to 0 hit points (which destroys the object) or if a creature can see the animated mouse when the spell ends. Otherwise, it remains an animated mouse indefinitely.

#### Our Little Secret
*2nd level divination (ritual)*
___
- **Available to:** bards, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** Self
- **Components:** V, S, M (a novel with certain passages suspiciously marked)
- **Duration:** 1 hour
___
You and each willing humanoid or fey touching you when the spell is cast can speak, read, and write Thieves' Cant for the duration. If no willing creatures are touching you, the spell fails.
\pagebreakNum
#### Rainbow
*5th level evocation*
___
- **Available to:** clerics, druids, paladins, rangers, sorcerers
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 300 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (an inverted crystal pyramid)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous
___
A swathe of multicoloured radiance springs forth from your glimmering chest. Choose a creature within range and make a ranged spell attack against it. On a hit, you deal 1d12 damage of each of the following types, for a total of 7d12 damage: radiant, fire, lightning, acid, cold, thunder, and force. You also learn if the target has any vulnerabilities, resistances, or immunities to any of these damage types.
***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level, 7th level, or 8th level, you can add 1d12 damage of an additional damage type for each slot level above 5th. You can choose from the following additional damage types: necrotic, poison, and psychic. When you cast this spell at 9th level, you instead roll additional damage equal to 1d12 poison, 1d12 psychic, 1d12 necrotic, 2d12 force, and 2d12 radiant.
#### Reflect
*6th level abjuration*
___
- **Available to:** sorcerers, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 reaction
- **Range:** 60 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (a silver mirror)
- **Duration:** Instantaneous
___
In response to a caster you can see within range targeting you with a single-target spell, you can attempt to reflect the spell. A reflected spell targets the caster of the spell as though it originated from you, if possible, and it uses your spell save DC or spell attack bonus, if relevant. You can reflect a spell even if it isn't a spell you know. If the target is casting a spell of 1st level or lower, you reflect the spell without needing to make an ability check. If the target is casting a spell of 2nd level or higher (up to 5th level) make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a success, the creature’s spell is reflected. You can't reflect spells of 6th level or higher.
***At Higher Levels.*** When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, you reflect the spell if its level is less than or equal to four levels below the spell slot you used. For example, casting *reflect* at 8th level allows you to reflect spells of 4th level or lower without needing to make an ability check.
#### Return to Earth
*3rd level necromancy*
___
- **Available to:** druids, rangers
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 30 ft.
- **Components:** V, S, M (dirt from a grave)
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
The earth calls for all manner of creature to coalesce back into its dark soil. Choose a creature within range. At the end of each of its turns until the spell ends, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone if it is within range and it is standing on natural ground.
\columnbreak
#### Tormentor
*4th level conjuration*
___
- **Available to:** bards
- **Casting Time:** 1 bonus action
- **Range:** 60 ft.
- **Components:** V
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 minute
___
You torment your enemy with jests and mockery. Choose a creature within range. An illusory floating mouth appears and follows the target. The mouth criticizes, harangues, insults, and berates the target in its native tongue. As a bonus action and as part of casting this spell, you can use the mouth to cast *vicious mockery* on the target, dealing 4d4 psychic damage on a failed save (regardless of your level). You can't cast *vicious mockery* twice in the same round using this spell, and you must fulfill the requirements to cast it, using the mouth for verbal components. If the target dies, you can use your bonus action to move the mouth to a new target within range and use the mouth to cast *vicious mockery* on the new target.
#### Trick
*7th level illusion*
___
- **Available to:** bards, warlocks, wizards
- **Casting Time:** 1 action
- **Range:** 90 ft.
- **Components:** S
- **Duration:** Concentration, up to 24 hours
___
You swap identities with a humanoid you can see within range that is within 1 size category of you. If the target is unwilling, it must make a Charisma saving throw. On a success, the spell ends. On a failure, both you and the target teleport to each other's spaces, switching positions. You both become glamoured to look like each other and speak in each other's voices. The moment of change is not perceptible. To discern through the illusion, a suspicious creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection.
A hag that knows this spell can cast it on two targets other than herself within range. Both targets must either be willing or have failed their saving throw for the change to take place.

# Running the Adventure
## Adventure Synopsis
### Too Long; Didn't Read
- Endercoast is whisked away to the Feywild
- The party joins together and learns of their short and long term goals
- The party investigates rumours in the Feywild
- The party chooses an archfey court and completes the court's quest
- The party returns to Endercoast to take their long rests
- The party spends downtime and finishes up other quests while waiting for a harmonic convergence
- The party battles an evil mastermind in a climactic battle
- Endercoast is returned to the Material Plane
### Full Synopsis
The adventure starts as people emerge from their homes in Endercoast to look up at unfamiliar stars. Fey creatures stand at the gate, asking to be let in, and despite the crowd being unsettled by their presence, Mayor Attercat welcomes the fey. Included among both the crowd and they fey are members of the party that will soon be formed. Just as the friendly fey enter the city, so does a very unfriendly creature, a primeval guardian that calls out with the voice of Dailili, a powerful archfey of growth. The party defeats the primeval guardian, earning the trust of the mayor.
Mayor Attercat forms an emergency council session in the Guardhouse. He remarks on the prowess displayed by the party in battle and asks Commissioner Huck Lasick if he would christen them as a special task unit to investigate further into the strange realm that the city has landed itself in. Turph Musheen claims that they need to be part of the union before they can be syndicated, but the mayor waves him off, to his chagrin. Hermione Galanodel, representative of the Sentinels of Equity, states what she knows about the Feywild and offers to help the party get started on their first expedition. She theorises that the island in the Sea of Vines will likely be important, but nobody can figure out how to get there yet. Moving through the Feywild isn't so simple.
The party has a few weeks of downtime before their first expedition is scheduled. They take the time to run around Endercoast, seeking what information they can about the Feywild and pursuing plot hooks. They learn that Endercoast is without easy access to its normal supply of food and water, and they learn that the general populace is anxious about maintaining safety and a sense of community. They also learn that, because Endercoast was hosting a music festival, there are many, many more people in the city than there are places to house them. Most of all, everyone is concerned with getting back to the Material Plane as quickly as possible.
The party sets out into the Feywild to solve these problems, pursuing at least one of the plot hooks of their choice. Their investigations take them all around the Feywild, but lead eventually to one or more of the following places: the Litter and the Peat, the Court of Jest, the Tree of Infinity, and Dewdrops.
\columnbreak
In the Litter and the Peat, a court built in the ruins of a race of long-forgotten progenitors, the party faces off against Lord Cals, an archfey who wishes as badly as they do that Endercoast be returned to the Material Plane. He's content, however, to sit back and let Endercoast destroy itself just as the progenitors did. The party negotiates with Lord Cals to help fulfill Endercoast's needs for food, water, and shelter, but there is a price. There is a spy in his court. He cannot tell who it is, but he knows that if he waits long enough, the spy will reveal themselves. If the party can locate the spy, he will help Endercoast. The party discovers that many of Lord Cals' warlocks have been charmed by a hag, Dearest Gran, who angles to destroy Lord Cals' court after a perceived slight. Lord Cals grants the party what they ask, and asks them for one more favour. Dearest Gran has given out a curse of immortality to many creatures in the Feywild. Seek out these three and slay them: the ancient boar, the ancient wolf, and the shadow in the Feydark. Bring proof of their demise. This will anger Dearest Gran, and in her anger she will reveal herself. It is then that Lord Cals can destroy her. In return, he will reveal the secrets to returning to the Material Plane.
In the Court of Jest, the party puts on a performance for Cirrus the Jester, who welcomes them into his court. They offer the party shelter, safety, and community. In return, Cirrus demands that the party expose the artifice of Endercoast. The party must prove that people crave the unpredictable wilds, not the trappings of society. If the party can accomplish this, Cirrus delivers on their promises, but something is deeply bothering them. Further investigation reveals that Cirrus pines for their lost love. If the party can reunite Cirrus with their beloved, Cirrus may be inclined to reveal the secret to returning home.
In the Tree of Infinity, the party ventures into a deeply overgrown area of the Feywild and are horrified to learn that every tree shares the same consciousness: Dailili the archfey. Dailili expresses her intention to grow over the entire Feywild and expresses frustration that she cannot fully break through into Endercoast. The party might be able to convince her that sending Endercoast home will be easier than consuming it, though of course Dailili sees this as an opportunity to spread her seed into the Material Plane as well. She offers endless food, water, and safety to Endercoast, but in return the party must kill the sacred beasts that protect the Feywild from her influence: the ancient elk, the ancient owl, and the warden. Once the party has slain these beasts, Dailili is true to her word, though her influence strengthens and she pushes her luck for even further power. She demands that the party help her overtake the Sylvan Garden in Endercoast completely. If they help her with this, she will reveal how to send Endercoast home. Her ultimate goal is to spread to the Material Plane, of course, so it may be unwise to take her up on it.
\pagebreakNum
In Dewdrops, the party is beset by storms and rescued by the Princess of Dewdrops, Tettlebug Moonflower, a powerful pixie archfey. Tettlebug is responsible for the wicked weather experienced in the Feywild and in Endercoast. Tettlebug remains blissfully unaware of her true power, though her sycophantic devotees know it all too well. A group of four of her devotees, a goblin, a bullywug, a kuo-toa, and a storm mephit approach the party with a proposition: they will guide Tettlebug such that her powers provide Endercoast with food, water, and community, as long as the party rescues the bullywug swamp and the kuo toa cave in the Feydark from the destructive storms. If the party successfully protects these communities, Tettlebug's followers make do on their promise. If the group presses, they might be able to convince a few of the followers to see the errors of their ways, at which point the party's new quest becomes to reveal to Tettlebug the true extent of her capabilities, which will hopefully allow her to harness them to help save Endercoast. Unfortunately, the realization drives Tettlebug to madness.
The party can also pursue other quests, such as Spirited Away, If I Could but Shudder, Don't Go Out in the Woods at Night, and various sidequests for factions and business owners in Endercoast.
Once the party has completed at least one of the four main quests, they learn that Endercoast can only be returned to the Feywild during a period of harmonic convergence. In other words, they'll need to wait for the stars to -- quite literally -- align. This gives them the opportunity for more freeform exploration of the Feywild. They can pursue the quests of other courts, finish up side quests, scheme for one faction to dominate Endercoast, fight back against evil, or just explore for exploration's sake. Not to mention figuring out the mystery of who spirited Endercoast away to the Feywild in the first place. Each time the party requires a long rest, remember that they must return to Endercoast.
As the harmonic convergence approaches, the party learns of several different potential culprits: Hermione Galanodel of the Sentinels of Equity, Mayor Hitchen Attercat, Commissioner Huck Lasick, Turph Musheen of the Union of Small Business Owners, Lord Cals, Cirrus the Jester, Dailili, or Tettlebug Moonflower. You decide which faction was the culprit, and that faction makes a serious effort to prevent the party from allying with any factions that could help them. The party's investigations lead them to the island in the Sea of Vines. They learn of the purpose of the island: a watchtower. Within the watchtower is the true answer for how to get home. The party finds a way to pass the Sea of Vines using the help of one of the archfey, and when they reach the watchtower, they must defeat the enemy faction and its leader in a climactic battle.
The secret to returning home is "the friends we've made along the way". Armed with this knowledge, the party returns to Endercoast and prepares the city to be whisked back to the Material Plane. They Feywild is left behind, and each party member ends their story on a meaningful personal note.

## Character Progression
Characters level up every couple of sessions, whenever you feel they've earned it, or upon completion of the following milestones.
- Solved all of Endercoast's basic needs
- Orchestrated a faction's domination of Endercoast
- Completed a quest
___
The adventure is intended for 8th to 14th level adventurers, but there are quite a bit more than 6 opportunities to level up. If you'd like to extend the adventure into higher-levelled play, you are free to do so, just be wary of the use of powerful magic like *plane shift* that makes it trivial for the party to escape the Feywild without help. Consider blocking access to any spell that allows a character to teleport or to make extraplanar contact.
## Encounter Balancing
Once characters reach 11th level, they enter the 3rd tier of play, where they are capable of taking on world-ending threats. The creatures of the fey possess powerful magic, but only a few are of significant danger to existence itself (e.g. Dailili). This means that your party might be facing threats that are wildly disproportionate to their power level, often much weaker but occasionally much stronger. There was no special care taken towards balancing the encounters of this adventure, especially because the archfey can be tackled in any order (or not at all). If you find that a combat encounter swings too far in one direction, you have a few options.
### Too Easy!
The Feywild is a magical place, and travel is complicated. It's likely that even more dangerous creatures might just show up out of nowhere. Roll on a random encounter table (IW) appropriate for the region the party is fighting in. Any creatures in that encounter wander in and disrupt the battle.
### Too Hard!
The fey are tricksters, not murderers. If the party is looking like they might take significant losses in battle, their opponents might whisk themselves away, ending the fight immediately and leaving any unconscious party members stable but with a new Fey Mark (IW), or, less punitively, a Fey Prank (IW).
### Too Slow!
If combat is taking way too long, consider that the Feywild can spirit people away to new locations at the drop of a hat. If you think it will help, you can remove enemies, friendly NPCs, and even party members at will.
\pagebreakNum
## Variant Rules
The following variants to the 5th edition rules are recommended for this adventure. Only use however many of these rules appeal to you.
___
- Feats (PHB): Alternatives to ability score increases make characters more fun to build and easier to differentiate.
- Variant Humans (PHB): A feat at level 1 can be a powerful, interesting option for human characters.
- Player-Determined Inspiration (PHB): Giving a teammate inspiration (instead of relying on the DM) can help build group cohesion.
- Proficiency Dice (DMG): The Feywild is more chaotic than the Material Plane, and rolling for proficiency rather than flatly applying it might help get across this difference. It makes the game more dependent on luck.
- Hero Points (DMG): The Feywild is an inspiring place full of magic and wonder, which can bring out the best in those who embrace its majesty. You can reflavour Hero Points as Sublime Inspiration in this way.
- Fear and Horror (DMG): The Feywild isn't just majestic. It can also be terrifying. Rules for fear and horror can help emphasise this aspect of the realm to your players.
- Gritty Realism Resting (DMG): While conducting downtime in Endercoast, Gritty Realism (7 days long rest) can put the focus on intrigue and politics by making resources more cost-intensive.
- Plot Points (DMG): The freeform nature of the campaign means that the players have a lot of say in how the story plays out. You can further increase their agency by implementing a plot point system, which allows them to modify the story in major ways otherwise only available to the DM.
- Combat Options (DMG): Combat is not meant to be the full focus of the campaign, which means that rules like Massive Damage and Morale that can end combat early could be put to good use in finishing an encounter non-lethally.
- Lingering Injuries (DMG): Crippling the party might be a good way to get them to seek out a hag for help.
## Plot Hooks
### The Litter and the Peat
- A dessicated corpse is found in the middle of town square being picked apart by vultures. As people approach, the vultures seem to teleport high above the crowd's head. They circle ominously. A young mother and her kids wail in agony. He had just gotten better. How did it end up like this? Inquiry shows that the dead man had fallen terribly ill and had ventured into the Feywild to seek a cure. Sure enough, when he returned, he was cured, all thanks to his "grandmother", or some other name, can't remember. But as he boasted of his ability to cheat certain death, he was descended upon by the vultures and slain. It is said the vultures are agents of an ancient and powerful archfey.
\columnbreak
- Just outside the city walls sit stand hundreds of straw people held up on gnarled black staffs of burnt wood. The Sentinels of Equity claim that they are wards of banishment, but that the lingering traces of the Material Plane are blocking the archfey's attempts to send the city home -- perhaps negotiating with the archfey might bear fruit.
### The Court of Jest
- Rumour has it that an archfey can be found among the audience of the Church of Her Inimitable Joyousness. Seems like we've caught someone's eye. Perhaps if a suitably glorious performance was put on for such an archfey, they would invite us into their court.
- Doppelgangers seem to have become a plague on the town. People don't trust strangers, and a nightly ritual of quizzing one's family members has become commonplace. It'll probably be important to quell this paranoia. Perhaps an archfey is sending these doppelgangers and could be convinced to stop.
### The Tree of Infinity
- The corpse of the primeval guardian at the North Gate has overgrown with vines that encroach on the city. Municipal engineers have cut through them, poisoned them, and even had wizards blast it with fireballs, but no matter their efforts, the vines keep regrowing. Whatever archfey this is, it is powerful. Perhaps powerful enough to send Endercoast back home rather than go through all this effort to consume it.
- A woodsman has gone missing in the Feywild. He of course is not a woodsman any longer, for not even he would dare to harm a tree while in the Feywild, but for some reason he set out with his axe and his backpack and got lost in the woods. Tracking down this woodsman reveals that he had been lured by a dryad, the result of which were his legs rooted to the ground and his head chopped clean from his body. The leaves in this area, despite not being autumn, have turned red with the dryad's hatred.
### Dewdrops
- Terrible weather. Even the mild days cause allergies, hayfever, sneezing, and sickness. Some say that it is the work of the most powerful archfey of all, one who controls the weather, controls the seasons, controls the world. Such an archfey must possess power undreamt of. Perhaps they could be convinced to help Endercoast. Though, just like with the eladrin elves, the season would determine this archfey's amenability.
- A parade of fey passes through Endercoast singing praises of the Princess of Dewdrops. The parade has dozens upon dozens of goblins, bullywugs, kuo-toas, pixies, and sprites. Might be worth following them.
\pagebreakNum
### Spirited Away
- During a holiday where the people of Endercoast get together and reminisce about the past, a teenaged girl, named Magpie, instead stares up at unfamiliar stars in wonder. If she's spoken to, she speaks of the possibilities of a future in this place, where the stars have true meaning, where the sun hangs at the horizon, and where the earth can nurture you as it nurtures its plants. There is a future here. Some time later, the girl seeks out the party. She explains that she is the first girl after seven boys. She was a very sick baby, and when her father pleaded with the gods to save her, he got no answer from them. But he did get an answer from someone. And she thinks, now that they are in the Feywild, that whoever answered her father's cry has finally taken its prize: her seven brothers, transformed into ravens. She asks the party to help her travel through the Feywild to find them: she will ask the sun to shine the way, entreat the stars for a gift, and seek shelter in the earth. They will bring her to her brothers.
### If I Could but Shudder
- Jacob Pleasant, a board member of the Union of Small Business Owners, requests a private audience with the party. He and his brother Wilhelm have always been close, though after the death of their father, they had a fight about how the body should be treated. Wilhelm wanted him to be buried in the Feywild, while Jacob just wanted him to be incinerated. Jacob won out in the end, but he is worried about this obsession with the Feywild in his brother. In fact, Wilhelm has just run off with one of those fey women. Jacob doesn't want to put his life and his family's livelihood at stake by leaving Endercoast's borders. He knows that the party are among the most respected adventurers in the city due to their place in Mayor Attercat's task force. He tells them he will pay them a total of five thousand gold pieces if they can find Wilhelm, talk some sense into him, and bring him home. If they can't do it, Jacob worries that he will eventually have to do it himself.
### Don't Go Out in the Woods at Night
- A tired mother, eyes red from tears, demands that the party listen to her. "The hag, Dearest Gran, has terrorised the good people of Endercoast for long enough. Yes, she grants them their wishes, but too many have been taken by her out of malice. And now my child is counted among the lost. Is her hut not clean enough? Why should she take so many? Why my child? Go forth into the wilds, find her, kill her, and return my boy to me."

# The Shimmer
O*nce upon a time, things were going well for Mayor Attercat. He had a comfortable office in a city that had enjoyed three solid years of growth, and there was barely anything he had to do except approve the odd public works project and look the other way whenever someone passed him a platinum. His dreams of retiring early in a beach house in the neighbouring villages were shattered when he woke up one late morning to the screams of a horrified crowd. As he slipped on his glamoured robes, put on his magic hat, and grabbed his rod of mayorship, he had no idea that his entire world had come crashing down around him. The city of Endercoast was no longer where it used to be. The entire city -- buildings, people, and all -- had just been spirited away.*
## Quest Summary
This is the first quest in the campaign book Into Wonderland, serving as the introduction of the setting to the characters. Before beginning this adventure, ensure that your players have created 8th-level characters and have read through what their characters would know of Endercoast and the Feywild.
The party meets for the first time, fights off Dailili, is sworn in as a Feywild Task Force, and discovers they're trapped in a looping dream. The four faction leaders of Endercoast slay a living nightmare and rescue the party. The party takes some downtime in Endercoast to recover before setting out into the Feywild.
By the end of this quest, the party will have ...
- met each other
- fought off a dangerous enemy
- met all four of the key faction leaders in Endercoast
- joined the Feywild Task Force of Mayor Attercat
- escaped a dream sequence
- learned of short term and long term goals for the campaign
- spent some downtime in Endercoast
- learned of some archfey featured in the adventure
- learned how to travel in and out of the Feywild
## DM Preparation
- Count how many characters in the group are immune to being put to sleep (usually just elves and half-elves). If all of them are immune to being put to sleep, the part of this quest that takes place in a dream will actually be in the dream of Mayor Hitchen Attercat.
- Read the information on the four Endercoast faction leaders from Dramatis Personae (IW) and prepare their statblocks to give to your players. If you have more than four players who can be magically put to sleep, also prepare a **mercenary** (NPC) statblock for them.
- Prepare for the possibility of a character getting killed; since it's a dream sequence, just revive them at 1 hit point after resetting the day. They're 8th level; they can work out their own methods of healing if they need to.
\columnbreak
- Look through the section on Endercoast (IW) to be prepared for downtime activities at the end of the quest.
- Incorporate a few plot hooks (IW) during downtime to lead the party to the courts of the archfey.
- Prepare the following foes:
- **Primeval Guardian** (NPC)
- **Shambling Mound** (MM)
- **Awakened Tree** (MM)
- **Dryad** (MM)
- **Roper** (MM) with the living nightmare adjustments from the spell *extract dream* (IW)
### Methods of Escaping the Dream
Your party will be trying to escape the dream with a variety of methods. Allow them to experiment and let them escape if they find a clever solution; you absolutely do not have to make them complete all four fights with Dailili. Regardless of the party's solution to waking up, the faction leaders will still need to fight the living nightmare to rescue them.
#### Pinch Me
The characters may resort to orchestrating their character's 'death' to wake themselves up. If more than half the party is killed, go to the next reset of the day; everyone is revived at 1 hit point at the start of each day.
#### Kill Dailili
Since Dailili escapes on her next turn after being reduced to half hit points or lower, the party may try to "nova" her and kill her outright in one go. You can choose to have the same effect if she escapes or is killed, or you can allow this as a potential solution to waking up. Dailili does not die in real life if she dies in the dream, however.
#### Change the Script
The party might attempt to reason with Dailili. Use Dramatis Personae for her personality, ideal, bond, and flaw (IW). The party can convince Dailili to cease her assault if they work in all four of her characteristics into their appeal and then succeed on a DC 20 Charisma check (any relevant skill). They can discern one characteristic by talking to her and succeeding on a DC 10 Wisdom (Insight) check. Convincing her to back off will end the dream if you choose.
Dailili will get annoyed and attack if they try to talk to her for too long, up to your discretion.
What the party learns in the dream will still be relevant if they face down Dailili for real later in the campaign.
#### Kill the Faction Leaders
The party might attack the faction leaders. If they try, they hear each faction leader's voice mysteriously wafting in from above their heads, arguing about how it's hopeless trying to rescue people who don't want to be rescued. Hermione is the voice of reason that convinces the others to keep going with the extraction. She resets the day for the party.
\pagebreakNum
#### Prevent the Invitation
Each day, Mayor Attercat somehow manages to invite in the fey. If the party can stop him from doing that, the fight with Dailili is prevented, and you can decide that this constitutes a valid way to escape.
#### Something You Hadn't Anticipated
Players can be super creative. If they impress you with how they tackle their escape, just roll a few dice behind your screen, blink a few times in surprise, give them a look of disbelief, and say it works.
## The North Gate
To begin the quest, read the following passage to your players.
> It was a mild night in Endercoast when the sky became a shimmer beyond the walls. By mid morning, word had spread and terror had gripped the hearts of the good people of this city. When misty figures appeared at the North Gate, a crowd gathered. Some were there out of curiosity. Some had brought spears and shields and crossbows to defend their home. The figures at the gate revealed themselves, and they were fey.
At this point, if any party members are from the Feywild, they introduce their character to the rest of the group.
> It is at this moment that Mayor Hitchen Attercat arrives. The crowd parts for the portly, ridiculous man in his glorious robes and he stands before the fey, red-faced, breathing heavily. A pixie asks something in a language no one in the crowd can speak, but Mayor Attercat seems to understand. He tries to reply, but something is caught in his throat. He coughs. He sneezes. He just nods and waves them in. A gesture he soon regrets, for once the fey step into Endercoast, the crowd becomes uproarious.
At this point, any party members from Endercoast introduce themselves to the rest of the group and can attempt to calm down the crowd. A DC 10 Charisma check (any skill) will quell the uproar. Mayor Attercat uses his *rod of rulership* if nobody else can do it; he automatically succeeds in his attempt.
> Just as it seems like the crowd might be willing to give the fey a chance, a hulking figure from just beyond the gate lumbers through the shimmer: a tree, no, a dryad, twelve feet tall, as strong as the headstone of a king's grave. The dryad bellows out in a young woman's voice, soft, bitter, and rumbling: "Relieve Dailili of the wretched taste of your city! The Feywild belongs only to the trees!" The crowd panics. Luckily, a few strong warriors step forth to challenge the dryad.
That's the cue for the party to draw weapons and prepare to fight. Everyone rolls initiative.
### Fight with Dailili
Dailili takes the form of a **primeval guardian** (NPC 130). At the start of each party member's first turn, they must roll a DC 3 Constitution saving throw or suffer the effects of mild weather (IW), i.e. the poisoned condition, for the rest of the day.
On initiative count 20, the party hears one of the following echoing whispers all around them.
##### Mysterious Whispers
| d4 | | Whisper |
|:---:|-|:-----------|
| 1 || "They don't know, they don't know, they don't know ..." |
| 2 || "Not yet, not yet, not yet ..." |
| 3 || "Can't hear us, can't hear us, can't hear us ..." |
| 4 || "Too early, too early, too early ..." |
___
> ##### Music
>
> If you tend to play music during fights, try "Non, Je ne Regrette Rien" by Edith Piaf.
Dailili ends the fight after she has taken at least 102 damage or after two turns have passed. She uses her ***Singular Being*** trait (IW) to collapse and reform elsewhere in the Feywild instantly, leaving only behind an inert pile of plant matter. If the party manages to kill her, the same thing happens anyway.
> The North Gate quickly becomes encrusted with plant matter. Vines sprout from cracks in the stone. A canopy of wicked, spiky leaves grows over the gate, blocking out the sun. It's all overgrown. All vicious. All hateful. And everyone knows, in their heart of hearts, that nothing will ever be able to get rid of these weeds.
After Dailili's attack, the public has become, quite rightfully, distrustful of the other fey creatures who have arrived. The crowd shoves the fey creatures back. Pixies turn invisible and flutter away. Satyrs back up slowly back through the shimmer, showing their horns. A goblin skitters into a back alley. The crowd eventually disperses.
Mayor Attercat, on the other hand, is delighted. He sneezes a few more times before finally composing himself. He invites the party to join him in the Council Hall for an important meeting.
There is no transition between the North Gate and the Council Hall. Just start with the description below of the council hall, and if the party protests, just tell them they have no memory of how they got to the council hall. It just seemed to ... happen.
\pagebreakNum
## The Council Hall
> Huck Lasick, the commissioner, scoffs at the idea of creating a Feywild Task Force. He slams his little halfling fists on the mayor's desk in the council hall and says, quite forcefully, that if he is given more funding to train his recruits, the Endercoast Guard will be more than capable of handling any expeditions into the Feywild. An elven woman in white robes, Hermione Galanodel, speaks with a voice like honey: "The Feywild cannot be mapped or measured by your glorified accountants, your honourable commissioner. And the more we send, the harder it will be for all of them to return home. No, we need a small but effective group of adventurers like those our dear Mayor has brought before us. Will you tell the commissioner of your skills?" Lasick crosses his arms and gives you an expectant look.
The party has the chance to explain why they would be a good fit to conduct expeditions into the Feywild and survive. Whatever answer they give, Lasick throws up his hands in defeat.
> A half-orc man in a well-tailored suit takes a puff from a whalebone pipe. He has four beautiful flowers in his hair. His voice is rough, working class. "Need to be part o' the Union, else you'll be taking advantage of 'em, won't you, Attercat?"
Anyone from Endercoast recognises this man from the papers: Turph Musheen, the most influential member on the board of the Union of Small Business Owners.
> The mayor waves off the half-orc. "No need, no need, I'll have my lawyers draft up a contract. You stay in your lane and I'll stay in my lane, isn't that our agreement?" Turph just snarls and takes another puff.
>
> Hermione looks over the group. "I know some things of the Feywild. The first is that you cannot trust your senses. I suppose all of you would know quite a bit about that, wouldn't you? How do you know all of this, everything that's happened today, is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt not just a --"
## The North Gate
> -- cold night in Endercoast when the sky became a shimmer beyond the walls. By mid morning, word had spread and terror -- and the biting cold -- had gripped the hearts of the good people of this city. When misty figures appeared at the North Gate, a crowd gathered.
\columnbreak
All of the party members, both from the Feywild and from Endercoast, must introduce themselves. Dismiss any confusion they might express. This is the first time the party is meeting. They have to introduce themselves.
> It is at this moment that Mayor Hitchen Attercat collapses in the middle of the crowd. All of his magic items could not protect him from the cold. As the townsfolk huddle around him to warm up his frostbitten fingers, he raises a weak hand and waves for the interlopers to enter. The fey all huddle together, for even they aren't immune to the cold, except for one. A dryad, twelve feet tall, with a woman's bitter voice: "Relieve Dailili of the wretched taste of your city! The Feywild belongs only to the trees!"
Roll initiative.
### Fight with Dailili
The party has not received the benefit of a rest. Any resources spent in the previous battle are not recovered.
This time, Dailili takes the form of a **shambling mound** (MM). On initiative count 20, any character not within 5 feet of an allied creature takes 2 (1d4) cold damage. Dailili herself offers no warmth against the cold.
___
> ##### Music
>
> If you play music during your fights, use the same music from the last time the party fought Dailili, but slow it down to 75% speed.
Dailili is defeated after taking at least 68 damage or after two turns have passed. Once more, she collapses into a pile of plant matter regardless of whether she was killed or whether she escaped.
> The North Gate quickly becomes encrusted with plant matter, and you know that nothing will ever be able to get rid of these weeds. It seems you are needed in --
## The Council Hall
> The mayor's office is enormous. His desk is surrounded by twenty-foot high bookshelves stocked with books that have never been opened. You've never really taken a good look around here, but with Mayor Attercat indisposed, the other leaders of Endercoast can't help but pry through his collection. Hermione Galanodel reads a book -- previously unopened -- about proper lawn care. "Suppose the commissioner's running the meeting. Our dear mayor shouldn't have gone out in the cold without me."
\pagebreakNum
> The commissioner hops up onto the mayor's desk and stares you down, arms crossed, legs dangling. "Well? Why should you be on the mayor's special task force and not the town guard?"
Once more, the players must explain themselves. Why are they the right people for the job? And once more, Huck Lasick seems unconvinced. This time, Turph Musheen joins in with the interrogation.
> "Besides which, you lot'll be looking for representation, I gather. Read this." He passes you a scroll, but it's nonsense. The words swim on the page. "Case you get targeted by some powerful magic and get knocked out for a few days. What do you say? Pay your union dues and sleep soundly in the night-time?"
>
> Hermione peers up from her book. "They won't sleep soundly any nights. Certainly not this type of --"
## The North Gate
> -- hot, stuffy, humid summer morning. The crowd swelters in the baking sun. Fey creatures huddle in the shade under the north gate, waiting for their invitation.
The party introduces themselves yet again.
> The mayor, drenched in sweat, arrives to the great relief of the crowd. He waves in the fey creatures, but one dryad at the back, beautiful and terrible, says with a bitter voice, "Relieve Dailili of the wretched taste of your city! The Feywild belongs only to the trees!"
Roll initiative.
### Fight with Dailili
Again, the party receives no benefit of any rest. Dailili takes the form of an **awakened tree** (MM). The party members start the fight with three levels of exhaustion due to the sweltering heat.
___
> ##### Music
>
> If you play music during your fights, use the same music, but slow it down to 50% speed.
Dailili is defeated after taking at least 30 damage or after two turns have passed.
\columnbreak
> The North Gate is encrusted with plant matter. Nothing will remove the weeds.
## The Council Hall
> Hermione Galanodel checks Attercat's temperature. He's burning up from exhaustion. His sweat soaks into the fine leather chair in his office. The commissioner crosses his arms and leans against the wall, frustrated, no less sweaty. Even the half-orc Turph Musheen is uncomfortable with the heat. He addresses the party frankly. "Reckon we've been trying to extract you for a week and a half. This is some powerful magic. Hermione's learned a new spell that should help. You just have to survive one more --"
## The North Gate
> -- rainy morning. The streets flood with six feet of rushing water, and only you and Mayor Attercat sit in your rafts by the North Gate, hoping to let in the fey. Mayor Attercat waves them in, and wouldn't you know it, a mess of seaweed rises from the water and forms the shape of a woman, a dryad. "Relieve Dailili of the wretched taste of your city! The Feywild belongs only to the trees!"
Roll initiative.
### Fight with Dailili
The party is still exhausted and without rest from the other encounters. Dailili takes the form of a **dryad** (MM) who walks upon the surface of the flood waters. She doesn't use her ***Fey Charm*** action. Instead, she tries to use *entangle* to drag the characters off the side of the boat and drown them.
___
> ##### Music
>
> If you play music during your fights, use the same music, but slow it down to 25% speed.
Dailili is defeated after taking at least 11 damage or after two turns have passed.
> The North Gate is encrusted with plant matter.
\pagebreakNum
## The Council Hall
> And the council hall is no better. It's covered with vines, thorns, seaweed, and thick roots. There's nobody else in the mayor's office but you. You hear in a whisper in your ear ...
>
> "We've almost got them out. Hang on."
>
> The vines begin to creep closer.
## Reality
At this point, drop the act and explain precisely what is going on. The players are under the effects of a powerful and cursed casting of *dream* that is forcing them to relive the same day over and over. They are unconscious in the council hall while the four faction leaders -- Mayor Attercat, Commissioner Lasick, Hermione Galanodel, and Turph Musheen -- attempt to rescue them with the *extract dream* spell (IW).
Players controlling a sleeping character can take on one of these four NPCs if they wish. Refer to Dramatis Personae for the statblocks you can use to represent these NPCs (IW).
If someone in the party has the Fey Ancestry racial trait (i.e. anyone who can't be put to sleep by magic), you can determine that they have been awake the whole time and must help the rest of the party wake up from the shared nightmare.
If everyone can't be put to sleep by magic, the party must rescue Mayor Attercat, who was truly the one asleep the whole time; they were all watching his dreams together.
If there are more than four players with sleeping characters, you can give them the statblock of a **mercenary** (NPC) from Lasick's guard who is helping out.
You can also skip this fight if your players are fatigued from the fight, or if you've forgotten to prepare the NPCs for the players. Simply describe the four faction leaders landing the decisive blow against ...
### The Living Nightmare
... a living nightmare, the manifestation of Dailili's will through the spell *dream*. The living nightmare is represented by a **roper** (MM) with the following changes.
- It resembles a whipping mass of vines.
- It has 46 hit points.
- Its type is aberration.
- It has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and it has immunity to necrotic and poison damage.
- It has the ***Incorporeal*** trait of a **ghost** (MM).
- It can't move.
Upon the defeat of the living nightmare, all of the dreamers awaken and gain immunity to the spell *dream* for 42 (4d20) days.

### Awakening
After awakening, the party is told that they were targeted by a powerful archfey. The mayor suspects Dailili, of course, but Hermione explains that Dailili isn't the only archfey in the Feywild. The other archfey might have a vested interest in making everyone think it was her.
In any case, the paperwork is official: the party now forms the mayor's Feywild Task Force. Their first mission is to investigate the source of the powerful magic cast upon them, probably by attempting to locate Dailili's fey court or find rumours of other archfey in the area.
> The commissioner, scowling, reminds Hermione that there are more pressing concerns. Endercoast is running dangerously low on food and water. There's a huge displaced population of holiday-makers who don't have a roof over their heads. Everyone distrusts the fey and each other -- often for good reason. And nobody feels safe. These five basic needs must be fulfilled before everything else.
Make sure the party has written down these short term goals.
> Turph Musheen, ever the pragmatist, adds, "Oi, don't forget the purpose of all this task force malarkey. We oughtta find Endercoast a way back home. We got business to get back to."
Make sure the party has written down their long term goal.
> The mayor claps his hands together in glee. "Splendid! Take a few weeks to get settled into town -- you deserve it after such an ideal -- and see if anyone's got info about the Feywild in town. We've been leading you around by the hand up until now, but the rest is up to you to decide. Off you go!"
### Downtime
The party has three weeks of downtime to spend in Endercoast (IW). The party has been unconscious for more than a week. They begin their downtime in Week 11 of Spring and end their downtime in Week 1 of Summer, celebrating the Summer Solstice (IW).
When their downtime is complete, Hermione Galanodel meets them for dinner at the Horizon's Edge Eatery (IW). She's paying. She tells the party about how anyone who tries to venture out of Endercoast just winds up right back where they started. Crossing the threshold into the Feywild takes a bit of finesse.
See the Threshold of Endercoast section (IW) to find the information that Hermione relays to the party.
She asks the party what they've discovered about the Feywild, what their plans are, and how they intend to approach their short and long term goals.
\pagebreakNum
## Quest Completion
The Shimmer is complete when the party successfully enters the Feywild. This is a good opportunity for the party to level up. You can treat a level-up as the result of each party member's efforts to improve their skills during downtime, or as a spontaneous power boost they receive just by passing through the Shimmer and entering into the Feywild.
Remind your party that a long rest will not be possible in the Feywild; they will need to return to Endercoast each time they wish to take a long rest and/or level up. This can be presented diegetically (the characters are told this by Hermione Galanodel) or metatextually (the players are told this by the DM).
### FAQ
___
- ***What happens if my character dies during the dream?*** They revive with one hit point each time the dream resets.
- ***Does my character regain all of their resources when the dream ends?*** No -- they must complete enough long rests to recover all their resources and get rid of their exhaustion levels, hence three weeks of downtime in Endercoast.
- ***Who Do I Play When I Fight the Living Nightmare?*** You play one of the four key faction leaders of Endercoast, or a capable guard in the Endercoast guard, as determined by your DM, who will give you a photocopy of the relevant statblock. When the fight is over, you reclaim your character as normal.
- ***My character can't be put to sleep by magic. Am I still asleep for the dream?*** No, your character was awake the whole time, attempting to rescue the others. In the dream, you were playing a manifestation of that character as dreamed up by the others. In reality, you can play yourself in the final fight against the living nightmare, and you haven't lost any resources that you lost in the dream (it wasn't really you).

# The Litter and the Peat
O*nce upon a time, a poor man had twelve children and was forced to work night and day to provide for them. Many nights he had to go without food himself. When his thirteenth child was born, knowing he could not care for him, he resolved to walk the forest path and find a godfather for the boy.*
*The first man he came across was a young man. The young man told him that he would be the best godfather he could be. He would give the boy the world. He would protect him from evil, shield him from fear, save him from death. The poor man laughed. "You have not the wisdom of age. A boy does not become a man by being sheltered from the world." The poor man walked on.*
*The next man he came across had skin as red as hot coiling iron and horns ripped from the head of a sacred ebony goat. The man was Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells, and Asmodeus told the poor man he would raise his son, as long as the contract was signed that day. The poor man laughed. "You may be the greatest of the devils, but you are still a devil. You prey on the poor, the desperate, the impatient. I may be poor and desperate, but I have the patience to trust that you will not be the last one to offer me help." The poor man walked on.*
*The third man he came across was a celestial knight in beaten armor, the Vigilant One himself, Helm, the God of Protection. Helm introduced himself as such and vowed that he would raise the poor man's boy to be strong, wise, good, resilient, moral, and fair. The poor man nodded at each of these but the last. He did not laugh. "The audacity you have to declare yourself capable of teaching someone what is fair, when a poor man like me spends his life toiling to be a good father, praying to you, only to be beset by countless misfortunes. Leave now, before I curse you with the same lifetime of scorn you have shown to me." The poor man walked on.*
*The final man he came across was hidden under a black shroud. The hidden man said, "Your boy will grow to be resilient, for I will be his companion in times of strife. Your boy will be grow to be patient, for all good things will come to him in time. And your boy will grow to be fair, for he will see first hand how little I care for riches, how little I care for luck." And for once, the poor man was convinced by what he had heard. He knew in his heart that this man could not lie.*
*The poor man returned to his twelve children. They asked where their brother had gone. The poor man laughed, a horrid laugh, and could say only this: "Your brother is in the hands of death."*

## Quest Summary
The party travels through the Feywild and reaches the court of the Litter and the Peat, ruled by Lord Cals. The archfey offers Endercoast food, water, and shelter if the party can locate the spy in his court.
Upon successfully identifying the spy and securing resources for Endercoast, Lord Cals offers to trade information on how to send Endercoast home to the material plane if the party can goad Dearest Gran into revealing herself by slaying three monsters: the ancient boar, the ancient wolf, and the shadow in the Feydark. Upon completion of these tasks, Lord Cals reveals important information about the Harmonic Convergence.
The party can optionally locate Lord Cals' godson in Endercoast, which will increase their relationship with Lord Cals' court. This angers Cirrus the Jester and decreases the party's relationship to their court.
## DM Preparation
- Make sure that your players have been given sufficient plot hooks (IW) to foreshadow this quest.
- Allow the players to pick up plenty of rumours about Lord Cals (IW).
- Read the Brothers Grimm fairy tale [Godfather Death](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/033.txt).
- Read Lord Cals' description in Dramatis Personae (IW) and familiarise yourself with the abilities from his statblock (IW), especially his spells.
- Familiarise yourself with Feywild travel (IW).
- Pre-roll some random woods encounters (IW).
- Prepare foes from Lord Cals' list of minions (IW), especially the following.
- **Dream Guardian** (NPC)
- **Warlock of Lord Cals** (NPC)
- **Nothic** (MM)
- **Oni** (MM)
## Plot Hooks
- A dessicated corpse is found in the middle of town square being picked apart by vultures. As people approach, the vultures seem to teleport high above the crowd's head. They circle ominously. A young mother and her kids wail in agony. He had just gotten better. How did it end up like this? Inquiry shows that the dead man had fallen terribly ill and had ventured into the Feywild to seek a cure. Sure enough, when he returned, he was cured, all thanks to his "grandmother", or some other name, can't remember. But as he boasted of his ability to cheat certain death, he was descended upon by the vultures and slain. It is said the vultures are agents of an ancient and powerful archfey.
\pagebreakNum
- Just outside the city walls sit stand hundreds of straw people held up on gnarled black staffs of burnt wood. The Sentinels of Equity claim that they are wards of banishment, but that the lingering traces of the Material Plane are blocking the archfey's attempts to send the city home -- perhaps negotiating with the archfey might bear fruit.
## Rumours of Lord Cals
The following rumours about Lord Cals can be picked up by the party in their travels and research. Learning as many rumours as possible will give the party a better chance of interacting socially with Lord Cals or facing him in battle.
False or misleading rumours have been marked with an asterisk (\*). This doesn't mean that such rumours are entirely untrue, just that the truth is more complicated than is stated.

## Custom Archfey
This court serves well an archfey with a strong connection to death.
If you are using a custom archfey and would like to use The Litter and the Peat as their court, ensure that you read through the entire quest before you start and replace any relevant details with what would better suit your archfey. For example, Lord Cals' godson might instead be your archfey's offspring. Keep the broad strokes of the quest mostly the same if you can.

## Court Information
Lord Cals rules the court of the Litter and the Peat, a place frozen in time after a calamity struck the ancient race that once lived here, more ancient even than the gods. The architecture of the old race is alien, non-euclidean, beautiful in its own way, and the moment of the destruction of their most sacred buildings has been forever preserved.
### The Litter and the Peat
#### Leader
For information on Lord Cals, see Dramatis Personae (IW) and his statblock (IW).
#### Goals
Lord Cals pursues the following goals.
___
- ***Inevitability.*** Anyone who wishes to cheat death must be shown the error of their ways.
- ***Purification.*** Lord Cals intends to remove Endercoast from the Feywild. An advanced society threatens the purity of his court.
#### Influence
___
- ***Patience.*** Lord Cals is used to waiting. His **time vultures** (IW) take advantage of an enemy's impatience, and his **stone golems** (MM 170) force enemies to slow down. The magic of his court rewards those who take their time and punishes those who strike ahead.
- ***Reservation.*** Lord Cals possesses nigh-limitless power, but he is careful about how the power is used. He refuses to employ more of his power than is necessary, so the most successful of his enemies are those who are as patient and insidious as he is, never revealing their full strength until it is too late.
#### Minions
- **Cultists of the Archfey** (NPC 208)
- **Dream Guardians** (NPC 69)
- **Gargoyles** (MM 140)
- **Liminal Druids** (NPC 71)
- **Nagpas** (MTF 215)

- **Stone Golems** (MM 170)
- **Time Vultures** (IW)
- **Twilight Priests** (TPN 24)
- **Warlocks of Lord Cals** (IW)

##### Events
You can roll randomly for the following court events, or choose an event appropriate to your session.

| 2 || Lord Cals asks a trusted **dream guardian** (NPC 69) to torture the party members or an enemy faction through their dreams. |
| 3 || Using **onis** (MM 239), Lord Cals kidnaps vulnerable people from Endercoast in the hopes of converting them into his cultists. |
| 4 || Lord Cals sends 52 (5d20) **time vultures** (IW) to circle Endercoast from above, watching and waiting. |
| 5 || Lord Cals signs a deal with Mayor Attercat. The mayor adds the quick features of a **warlock of the archfey** (NPC 165) to his existing statblock (**king/queen**, NPC 220). |
| 6 || Lord Cals curses the city of Endercoast with a "slow day" where every citizen of the city must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or fall under the effects of *slow* until twilight. |
##### Patron Bonuses
By completing sidequests, the group can increase or decrease their court relationship.

\pagebreakNum
## Approaching the Court
The party explores the Feywild until they come across someone who can tell them about the emotional truth needed to reach the Litter and the Peat. The faeries of the faerie village (IW) know of Lord Cals, as does Dearest Gran (IW), though any fey creature might have this information.
> *"All you have to do is wait. Wait for the sun to rise. Wait for the rain to fall. Wait for the mountains to be ground to dust. Wait for the storms to pass, for the storms to rattle once more, for the ground beneath your feet to split and crack apart with age. Wait for the floods, wait for the droughts, wait for a trillion mayflies to cry out that they will not be forgotten, and wait until they are forgotten. Wait for the sun to grow cold, the rock to grow hot, the stars to die out, the universe to be reborn. And there you will find the Litter and the Peat. Just wait."*
As the party waits for the Litter and the Peat to come to them, roll on the Woods random encounter table twice and add the following twists.
### Twist I
Everyone in the encounter is affected by the spell *slow* until it is resolved.
### Twist II
Everyone in the encounter is affected by the spell *slow* until it is resolved, and the encounter takes place on a floating chunk of stone wall that was once part of a glorious cathedral. The sky shines an iridescent pink and blue as more chunks of stone rise up from an endless void beneath.
## Welcome
> *As the universe is reborn and the world reshapes beneath your feet, you watch as a civilisation rises around you. Generations rise and fall in the blink of an eye. People love, they laugh, they build, they fight, they cry, they yearn, they create, and slowly but surely, a crack forms in their society. At first, a niggling worry, then it widens, and widens, until soon all that any generation can focus on is that crack, and one day it widens so far so quickly that it can never be repaired. It was always too late to repair it. And yet their society marches on, fighting and loving and creating and hoping that the crack will be fixed. It never is. And soon they all drift apart when the crack reduces their foundations to nothingness. This civilisation had been dying long before, and this was the moment they were finally, mercifully erased. It is here, frozen in time in this one moment, this cataclysm, that the Litter and the Peat was formed, for that little crack, ever widening, was Lord Cals.*
\columnbreak
The party is surrounded by **scarecrows** (MM) forming a circle around them, watching silently and motionlessly. Stepping across the frozen cathedral walls as casually as one would step across rocks in a river, and escorted by a **stone golem** (MM), is Lord Cals himself.
> *The archfey is old, unimaginably so. He is a skeletal specter draped in a black cloak, the hood caught on the horns of a primordial goat's skull behind which his eyes shine as white as a supernova. A necklace of coarse rope is adorned with a beautiful flushed-red rose, the only splash of colour. His voice is deep, slow, cracked, and sonorous.*
>
> *"I knew it was only a matter of time until you came to me. The city, it is a black mark on the Feywild, a corruption. It must be removed. Tell me this is your purpose."*
The party must tailor their response based on their understanding of Lord Cals' characteristics (IW). They can draw upon research or rumours they've heard of Lord Cals, and they can attempt a DC 20 Wisdom (Insight) check to deduce more information about his characteristics (up to your discretion). If they incorporate at least two of his personality traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws into their answer, they gain the ability to make a DC 20 Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) check to convince Lord Cals to help them. If their answer doesn't incorporate Lord Cals' characteristics, or if they fail their check to gain his favour, Lord Cals tells them that their idealism shall not serve them well in this court, then dismisses them into The Unknown (IW).
The party can only return to the Litter and the Peat if they have a court relationship of 1 or higher. They can raise their court relationship by completing the Godson sidequest or by being a warlock or courtier of Lord Cals.
## The Deal
> *"I am content to allow Endercoast to destroy itself." He gestures around him at the destruction of a civilisation, frozen in time. "Just as our progenitors once did. All the same, however, the city's presence here blackens the earth. Hastening its departure might be for the best. I can offer you the following. Pick two."*
>
> ***Food.*** *"Dead *things* pass through this realm. Their energy can be used to fuel life that hasn't yet been extinguished."*
>
> ***Water.*** *"I know of a spring that drips eternal, a siphon into the Plane of Water itself."*
>
> ***Shelter.*** *"My vultures will guard Endercoast from terrible creatures. No beast dares to pass under the shadow of my creations."*
>
> *"These offerings come with a condition. An insidious crack has opened in my court, the same crack that threatened and eventually destroyed the civilisation whose ruins we tread upon. There is one who is untrue. Wait for them to reveal themselves. Bring them to me. Only then shall I grant you what you have asked."*
\pagebreakNum
## The Spy
Lord Cals wishes for the party to identify a spy in his court.
The courtiers of the Litter and the Peat consist primarily of eladrin **warlocks of Lord Cals** (IW), **cultists of the archfey** (NPC 208), and **dream guardians** (NPC 69). Circling overhead are **time vultures** (IW) and a grinning **oni** (MM 239) riding a broomstick of some progenitor race's spinal column. **Nothics** (MM) peek from between cracks in the massive stone platforms while **will-o'-wisps** (MM) sparkle in the void between.
The party can speak to any of the following characters to work out who the spy is. Present these options to your players. They can speak to them in any order.
- Anamnest Nogilny, eladrin **warlock of Lord Cals** (IW), who studies the linguistics of the progenitor race in their destroyed library.
- Rolf Dugnutt, forest gnome **dream guardian** (NPC), who torments Lord Cals' enemies in the hopes of revealing the location of Dearest Gran.
- Dustice, **nothic** (MM), who uses scrolls of *scrying* to spy on the enemies of Lord Cals when he isn't out preying on their secrets in person.
- Bug, **oni** (MM), who patrols the court searching for interlopers and thieves.
___
Any of these five characters might be a spy. Decide which of them you think would be most interesting as the spy, and work in the following indicators. Variations on these indicators are included for each of the spies.
- The spy suffers from a hag curse of Torment (IW). They are suffering from three levels of exhaustion, and it will only get worse with time. Their work as a spy is in the hopes that Dearest Gran will show them grace.
- The spy has a connection to the number 14.
- The spy is content; their innermost desires have been fulfilled through their deal with Dearest Gran.
___
Alternatively, you can decide that one of the party members is actually the spy. In that case, give them the following bond and goal.
___
- ***Bond.*** You've made a deal with Dearest Gran to spy on Lord Cals. The number 14 has suddenly become extremely important to you. Work with your DM to determine how this number manifests in your life.
- ***Goal.*** Learn at least three spells Lord Cals can cast. Do not be caught.
___
If the spy succeeds on a DC 14 Charisma (Deception) and/or Dexterity (Stealth) check, they learn any rumours about Lord Cals that they don't already know and must use those rumours to determine at least three spells Lord Cals is likely to have prepared. Reward a player with inspiration if they find a way to cajole Lord Cals into casting a spell without drawing suspicion.
\columnbreak
### Anamnest Nogilny
> *The progenitor library is in cross-section, split straight down the middle. From your perch on the floating cathedral wall, you can see every level, every shelf, every interlocking staircase of the whole library, unimaginably huge with unimaginable wonders locked within, and it pains your heart to know that half has disintegrated already. You can see the eladrin warlock Anamnest treading lightly in the air upon the frozen pages of a book torn apart, each page a stepping stone. She is in eternal winter, and the winter of her discontent spreads to the library itself, which sparkles with freshly-fallen snow.*
Anamnest Nogilny has the following characteristics. They can glean a characteristic with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check or by conversing naturally with Anamnest.
___
- ***Personality.*** I weep at all that has been lost. The great injustice of the universe is that we cannot recover what is truly dead.
- ***Ideal.*** Preservation: I hold dear to my heart all that I can, for if I lose grip, it will all be lost.
- ***Bond.*** It is my duty in Lord Cals' court to scour the library for any clues as to the translation of the progenitor race. Their language is so ancient that even *comprehend languages* only returns gibberish.
- ***Flaw.*** The grip of my convictions is so tight that I destroy things even in the act of trying to preserve them.
#### Secrets
Anamnest is indifferent to the party, as she is focused on her work of translation. By using Anamnest's characteristics, the party can raise her attitude to friendly, allowing them to uncover the following secrets by interacting with her. The DC for any social checks they make against Anamnest is 14.
- The progenitors were destroyed indirectly by Lord Cals.
- Lord Cals cast a powerful version of *time stop* to preserve the final moment of their civilisation, though the crack that destroyed them was already in the works for centuries.
- Lord Cals once knew their language, but has forgotten it after so many millennia.
- Lord Cals bears the skull of an ancient scholar of their civilisation. Like all of his physical manifestations, he has adopted his form from a creature he has "taken" -- i.e. orchestrated the death of. His true form is unknown.
- Defeating his physical form would only be a minor setback. He will inevitably regenerate after one thousand years have passed -- a drop in the ocean for an immortal being such as him.
#### Spy Details
If Anamnest is the spy, she has the following quirks.
- Her tears have frozen on her cheeks, and her tired eyes have gone icy and blank. She reads the same pages over and over again, hardly realizing that she is repeating herself.
- 14 magic snowflakes dance in and out of her white hair. She can use them in place of coins for the cantrip *coin toss*; they immediately reform after being used.
\pagebreakNum
- She has successfully translated the progenitor language, but dares not reveal it to anyone, especially not Lord Cals. She continues on with her work, keeping a secret journal of her translations.
- She'll try to pass off suspicion onto Rolf Dugnutt by revealing Rolf's flaw.
#### Translations
If Anamnest is the spy, she will have translated the progenitor language. As the only one with the knowledge to do so, anyone who wishes to read their books must work off of her notes. Unfortunately, her notes are very confusingly written in loopy sylvan script, requiring a DC 14 Intelligence or Wisdom (Insight) check.
If Anamnest isn't the spy, the party can help her translate the books by asking for assistance from a powerful being such as Dearest Gran or another archfey, or they can spend 14 years in service to Anamnest and succeed on a DC 30 Intelligence (Investigation) check at the end (their efforts are wasted on a failed check). The party should be well aware of the difficulty of such an undertaking.
Many of the books aren't all that interesting. Most of them are functional in nature, detailing architectural configurations and the accounting of progenitor projects. However, a few books detail poetry, and although much is lost in translation, the poetry itself strikes the reader as painfully true, agonisingly real, and overwhelmingly sad. The reader gains advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks if they use progenitor poetry as inspiration in their performances. An example of the poetry is included below.
> *As a boy my mother told me*
>
*We would all soon be gone*
>
*And I knew this wasn't true*
>
*Because I had so much life ahead*
>
*As a man I told my children*
>
*We would all soon be gone*
>
*And they knew it wasn't true*
>
*Because they had so much life ahead*
If the poetry is performed for Lord Cals, he will be moved to tears, and then he will order the destruction of the library.
### Rolf Dugnutt
> *The gnome has skin like bark and hair like the stiff bare branches of a maple tree in the winter. He sits cross-legged on the roof of a church to a long-lost god -- all but the roof has disintegrated, of course -- and has his eyes closed deep in meditation. He opens one eye and mischievously beckons the party to join him. He is currently tormenting a poor faerie with terrible nightmares. "Trust that she is afraid. She'll reveal her secrets soon. Forget about her and ask me anything you'd like."*
Rolf Dugnutt has the following characteristics. The party can glean a characteristic with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Insight) check or by conversing naturally with Rolf.
\columnbreak
___
- ***Personality.*** I've got one foot in the real world and one foot in dreams. One eye is perpetually asleep, the other perpetually awake.
- ***Ideal.*** Escapism: Reality sucks. You can't leave it but you can certainly keep a loose grip.
- ***Bond.*** I dreamed of a life I never had, a family who loved me, a village, a community, all my own. Maybe I can return to that dream. It is more real than all I see before me in this court.
- ***Flaw.*** I bear no real loyalty to anyone, and have no real understanding of consequences.
#### Secrets
Anamnest is indifferent to the party, though he is curious of their intentions. By using Rolf's characteristics, the party can raise his attitude to friendly, allowing them to uncover the following secrets by interacting with him. The DC for any social checks they make against Rolf is 15.
- Lord Cals believes Rolf torments others with visions of Lord Cals himself, but Rolf likes to get more creative with it. He shows them something they want, something they yearn for, desperately, and then he takes it away. It's more in the spirit of what Lord Cals would want.
- Lord Cals has forgotten more than he is willing to admit, and the only thing that truly scares him is losing his mind.
#### Spy Details
If Rolf is the spy, he has the following quirks.
- Even his wakeful eye is droopy, and he suffers from the same nightmares that he inflicts on others.
- The nightmares he inflicts last for 14 minutes exactly.
- Each night, he dreams of his imaginary family, and it's just as beautiful as he remembers. He knows that as soon as he steps out the door of his house, his wonderful dreams will end, and the nightmares will begin, so he spends more and more of his time in his dreams, reluctant to pass on. It's seriously affecting his work.
- He'll try to pass of suspicion onto Dustice by revealing Dustice's flaw.
#### Rolf's Family
> *I was struck, I think, by some manner of creature like a bugbear or an ogre. I think I may have been dead, or close to it. I laid bleeding on the ground with my skull half caved in. A woman came to my rescue. She blasted away my attacker and healed my wounds, but I was still in a daze, barely myself, and she took me in and cared for me. She was a gnome, like me. I married her. Since I had no home, and no memory from before the day I was struck, she took me to her village and I was accepted as one of them. They lit a bonfire as they gave me my new names, and I lit a candle from that fire that I knew would never burn out. That candle still burned, as tall as ever, even after my wife bore me a daughter. I raised the girl to be beautiful, talented, empathetic, kind, and loving. And still the candle burned. I stared at that candle one night, and something was strange, more so than the fact that it would never burn out. It just ... didn't look right. Like it was flat, and always turned towards me, and its flame didn't flicker, and its light didn't shine.*
\pagebreakNum
> *But I ignored it. My daughter became a weaver and my wife grew sick. I cared for her in the darkest nights, the coldest winters. And still that candle burned, and still I ignored it. When my wife finally died, the candle burned out. I called my daughter to the house, and I decided I would relight the candle after we buried her mother. She told me that's not what she wanted. But I knew what needed to be done. I reached out to take the candle. I could not wrap my hands around it. My daughter pleaded with me to stop. I tried again. It was as though the candle wasn't even real. And sure enough, it wasn't. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. I woke up. Still bleeding on the cave floor. Lord Cals took me into his court. And here we are. The thing is, I can't remember my wife's face anymore. She's a smear in my mind. But my daughter ... I know her face better than my own.*
### Dustice
> *In the massive telescope of a long-destroyed observatory sits a monstrous little creature with a great big green eye, peering through the cracks in the glass. The nothic has made itself a little shrine in the tunnel of the telescope. The shrine has a marvellous watercolour portrait of a strikingly handsome satyr. A set of panpipes whistles a haunting tune as wind rushes through the telescope's tunnel. An ivory chip of horn has been lovingly placed upon a bed of soft down. Pinned to the tunnel walls are dozens of scrolls of *scrying*. The nothic is currently scrying the very satyr whose painting hangs in his shrine; the telescope's glass shimmers and displays a peaceful waterfall somewhere in the Feywild where the satyr bathes. The nothic watches in adoration.*
Dustice has the following characteristics. The party can glean a characteristic with a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Insight) check or by conversing naturally with Dustice.
___
- ***Personality.*** Spying on people for a living has given me good insight into how people think and act, so I'm a bit of an armchair psychologist.
- ***Ideal.*** Preparation. You can never spend too much time planning your approach.
- ***Bond.*** I am hopelessly in love with the satyr Jingle Bells and can't bring myself to file a report to Lord Cals. I'm always asking for more time (and ever more scrolls of scrying).
- ***Flaw.*** I'll happily watch someone all day planning the best thing to say to them, but I trip over my words when it comes time to talk.
#### Secrets
Dustice is indifferent to the party, as he is only concerned with fawning over the image of Jingle Bells. By using Dustice's characteristics, the party can raise his attitude to friendly, allowing them to uncover the following secrets by interacting with him. The DC for any social checks they make against Dustice is 12.
\columnbreak
- The irony of an immortal being who punishes those who cheat death is not lost on Lord Cals. The only being in the world he hates more than Dearest Gran is himself.
- Lord Cals speaks to his stone golems as though they were family. They are the only ones who will not judge him for his deepest insecurities. Sometimes all we need is someone who will listen without interjecting.
- Lord Cals' godson lives in Endercoast. Perhaps that might have something to do with why Endercoast was spirited away to the Feywild in the first place. Not to say that Lord Cals did it, necessarily, just that there's likely a connection there.
#### Spy Details
If Dustice is the spy, he has the following quirks.
- His green eye is bloodshot with exhaustion. Seems he's been staying up late doing nothing except watching Jingle Bells.
- He has 14 scrolls of *scrying* which regenerate automatically after being used.
- He met Jingle Bells disguised as a beautiful prince. Jingle Bells reciprocated his affections. Dustice is too ashamed to show his love his true form. He stays in his scrying telescope because it is a familiar comfort, and because he is scared of what might happen if Jingle Bells finds out who he is.
- He'll try to pass off suspicion onto Bug by revealing Bug's flaw.
#### The Scrying Telescope
The scrolls of *scrying* are enchanted to disintegrate if removed from their hooks, but Dustice will be happy to help the party scry on anyone they wish as long as they help him gain the courage to speak to Jingle Bells. See the spell *scrying* (PHB) for details on how to maximise the likelihood of success.
Dustice will also be happy to scry on Lord Cals' godson. He already has all of the materials he needs, and the spell succeeds due to his familiarity. The godson is a square-jawed human physician **noble** in his sixties named Lord Zephyr Sunset. He can be found most Friday nights at the Horizon's Edge Eatery, having a nice meal overlooking the Sea of Vines.
### Bug
> *Racing through the pink-and-blue sky on a broom of severed spines, the grinning oni Bug cackles with manic glee. She screeches to a halt before you, steps off her spinal column broom, and towers above you. She is eleven feet tall and under the links of her chain mail her blue skin ripples with muscle. She plants her glaive on the stone platform, which shakes violently, and demands that you tell her if you have any intention of stealing from the Litter and the Peat.*
Bug has the following characteristics. The party can glean a characteristic with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Insight) check or by conversing naturally with Bug.
\pagebreakNum
___
- ***Personality.*** I am bold, brash, confident, and frightening.
- ***Ideal.*** Fearlessness. The end comes to all. Why be afraid?
- ***Bond.*** I was once ordered to kill a young boy and bring the corpse to Lord Cals as proof. I could not do it, for the boy was so small. I slew a doe and mutilated it until all that was left was organs, and then placed a glamour upon the organs so that they would be identified as the boy. Lord Cals saw through my glamour. My punishment is that I cannot leave the Litter and the Peat. I must guard it until I die.
- ***Flaw.*** I have a compassionate streak, and I hate myself for it.
#### Secrets
Bug is indifferent to the party, as she wants to ensure that they have no intention of overstaying their welcome. By using Bug's characteristics, the party can raise her attitude to friendly, allowing them to uncover the following secrets by interacting with her. The DC for any social checks they make against Bug is 13.
- Lord Cals is a jealous steward of this place. The progenitors are his. No-one else's. She may live here, she may even be trapped here forever, but she is only a guest. Even those who spend their whole lives in this court are only guests.
- Lord Cals has truesight. No glamour can fool him. However, his confidence can make him blind to true deception.
- The boy she was tasked to kill was Lord Cals' godson. She was the one who eventually convinced Lord Cals to accept his responsibilities as godfather and provide a better life for the boy.
#### Spy Details
If Bug is the spy, she has the following quirks.
- She is woozy on her feet, and she has massive bags under her eyes.
- She is 14 feet tall instead of 11 feet tall, and her AC is only 14 instead of 16, despite wearing chain mail.
- She has managed to leave the Litter and the Peat and visit other locations in the Feywild like the faerie village and the bullywug swamp. Her eyes might light up in recognition if they are mentioned in casual conversation, or she might even make an unforced error and slip up.
- She'll try to pass of suspicion onto Anamnest by revealing Anamnest's flaw.
#### Lord Cals' Godson
Bug has a special fondness for Lord Cals' godson Lord Zephyr Sunset, who is now in his sixties and works as a physician in Endercoast. She'd like to see him again, though the freedom to leave the Litter and the Peat is her most pressing concern.
### Revealing the Spy
The party must provide evidence to Lord Cals if they accuse one of his courtiers of being a spy. He will interrogate them under *zone of truth* to ensure they are not deceiving him.
If he is satisfied with the evidence, he will bring the spy before him, cast *despair* upon them (they automatically fail the save), and then kill them with a casting of *finger of death* (don't roll for damage; it's an auto-kill). When they rise as a zombie, Lord Cals' two **stone golem** (MM) guards pummel the zombie into a red smear on the stone.
He thanks the party for their efforts and grants them the basic needs for Endercoast they have selected.
\columnbreak
## Rivalry
Lord Cals tells the party that they have proved their willingness for cooperation with the Litter and the Peat and that he would ask of them to complete another mission. If they fulfill his request, he will reveal to them how to return Endercoast home to the material plane.
> *"The hag. Dearest Gran. She is responsible for the spy in my court. For too long she has conducted blasphemy after blasphemy, delivering curses of immortality as though it means nothing. I intend to imprison her just as I have imprisoned so many others who have slighted me. She will be locked in a jade toy house of her hut, just as she has locked so many away herself. But she must first reveal herself to me. I would have you draw her anger by slaying three creatures to whom she has granted immortality."*
>
> ***The Ancient Boar.*** *"Stubborn as iron, the boar would not die even after she struck it for eating from her garden. She warded the boar from almost any killing blow. Find a way to strike it down regardless."*
>
> ***The Ancient Wolf.*** *"The wolf cried out to be saved from a trap and to see its family again. Dearest Gran answered, but her deals always come with a price, and the price the wolf paid was having to watch his family grow old and die while he remained. End the wolf's loneliness."*
>
> ***The Shadow.*** *"Having come to Dearest Gran to cure his terminal illness, Dearest Gran erased his name and his body, leaving only a shadow that she banished to the Feydark. The shadow grows in power through the worship of the kuo-toas. Find it and kill it before it becomes a god."*
The **ancient wolf** (IW) and the **ancient boar** (IW) can be found separately in The Unknown (IW) or as the next Ancient Beast found in a random encounter (IW). The shadow, **Poppiplob** (IW), can be found in the kuo-toa colony in the Feydark (IW).
Use the rules of travel (IW) and monster rumours to track down and face these three foes.

### The Court of Jest
The Court of Jest is the threshold of theatre. Meet an actor backstage after the show, and behind the stage is an identical theatre, only this time you are the actor and the actors are the audience. Impress them and the court will accept you into their ranks of performers and acrobats and clowns.
#### Leader
For information on Cirrus the Jester, see Dramatis Personae (IW).
#### Goals
___
- ***All the World's a Stage.*** Expose the artifice of society. It's all a performance. It's all an act. Endercoast's unwillingness to fully embrace the chaos of the Feywild is foolishness. And wouldn't Cirrus know about being a fool.
- ***Hide the Pain.*** Anything to keep the painful thoughts at bay. Any distraction at all.
#### Influence
___
- ***Entertainment.*** They say the only thing holding society together is bread and circuses. Cirrus understands that the latter is a double-edged sword: society needs entertainment, and yet entertainment has the power to collapse society.
- ***Mockery.*** Cirrus knows exactly how to bring pompous people back down to earth. He knows their deepest flaws and knows just the right words to say to bring them to their knees. No amount of protestation or denial will suffice. Cirrus' mockery is truth.

| 2 || Cirrus sends his minions to crash a court debate, mocking both sides for not seeing the obvious solution to their dispute. |
| 3 || Cirrus replaces one key faction leader with a doppelganger and puts on endless performances to entertain the real person. He tells them that they will be set free when they agree that a performance was the best they have ever seen. |
| 4 || Cirrus disguises themselves as a member of the nobility and wanders around Endercoast, seeing life from the eyes of a mortal. They're disgusted. |
| 5 || Cirrus kidnaps Rita Barnacky of the Saltine News (IW 24) and disguises themselves as her. The Saltine News insults key faction leaders, getting right to the roots of their deepest insecurities. |
| 6 || Cirrus tries to secretly attend a show in the Church of Her Inimitable Joyousness but can't stop themselves from openly weeping and causing a scene. They summon **clowns** (NPC 197) to cause chaos and then attempt to cast *modify memory* on anyone who might have recognised them. |

\pagebreakNum
Rumour has it that an archfey can be found among the audience of the Church of Her Inimitable Joyousness. Seems like we've caught someone's eye. Perhaps if a suitably glorious performance was put on for such an archfey, they would invite us into their court.
Doppelgangers seem to have become a plague on the town. People don't trust strangers, and a nightly ritual of quizzing one's family members has become commonplace. It'll probably be important to quell this paranoia. Perhaps an archfey is sending these doppelgangers and could be convinced to stop.
In the Court of Jest, the party puts on a performance for Cirrus the Jester, who welcomes them into his court. They offer the party shelter, safety, and community. In return, Cirrus demands that the party expose the artifice of Endercoast. The party must prove that people crave the unpredictable wilds, not the trappings of society. If the party can accomplish this, Cirrus delivers on their promises, but something is deeply bothering them. Further investigation reveals that Cirrus pines for their lost love. If the party can reunite Cirrus with their beloved, Cirrus may be inclined to reveal the secret to returning home.

### The Tree of Infinity
All the trees in the woods share the same root structure. Those roots lead back to the tree at the center of the forest, visible from all angles, towering impossibly high into the clouds. The very plants under one's feet are the veins and nerves of Dailili, for her court and her being are coterminous.
#### Leader
For information on Dailili, see Dramatis Personae (IW).
#### Goals
___
- ***Growth.*** Dailili will not stop until she has overgrown the entire Feywild, and from there, the rest of existence. She consumes, and she grows, and she will never, ever cease.
- ***Revenge.*** Dailili has vowed to subsume the fools who banished her from the Material Plane. They took her children, and they took her home, and soon she will take their lives. From their lives she will grow new life, her life, stronger than before.
#### Influence
___
- ***Plants.*** Dailili's will extends through all plants in her court, for they are as much a part of her as the fingers of a human.
- ***Rage.*** Dailili's burning, festering rage manifests in the world as forest fires that occasionally clear huge swathes of her own growth, the only thing that is keeping her from expanding outward even more quickly. From the fires grows new trees, with thicker bark, hardier limbs, faster lifespans.

\pagebreakNum
The corpse of the primeval guardian at the North Gate has overgrown with vines that encroach on the city. Municipal engineers have cut through them, poisoned them, and even had wizards blast it with fireballs, but no matter their efforts, the vines keep regrowing. Whatever archfey this is, it is powerful. Perhaps powerful enough to send Endercoast back home rather than go through all this effort to consume it.
A woodsman has gone missing in the Feywild. He of course is not a woodsman any longer, for not even he would dare to harm a tree while in the Feywild, but for some reason he set out with his axe and his backpack and got lost in the woods. Tracking down this woodsman reveals that he had been lured by a dryad, the result of which were his legs rooted to the ground and his head chopped clean from his body. The leaves in this area, despite not being autumn, have turned red with the dryad's hatred.
In the Tree of Infinity, the party ventures into a deeply overgrown area of the Feywild and are horrified to learn that every tree shares the same consciousness: Dailili the archfey. Dailili expresses her intention to grow over the entire Feywild and expresses frustration that she cannot fully break through into Endercoast. The party might be able to convince her that sending Endercoast home will be easier than consuming it, though of course Dailili sees this as an opportunity to spread her seed into the Material Plane as well. She offers endless food, water, and safety to Endercoast, but in return the party must kill the sacred beasts that protect the Feywild from her influence: the ancient elk, the ancient owl, and the warden. Once the party has slain these beasts, Dailili is true to her word, though her influence strengthens and she pushes her luck for even further power. She demands that the party help her overtake the Sylvan Garden in Endercoast completely. If they help her with this, she will reveal how to send Endercoast home. Her ultimate goal is to spread to the Material Plane, of course, so it may be unwise to take her up on it.

### Dewdrops
Surrounding the endlessly-singing Tettlebug Moonflower are a court of devoted fae creatures, the Dewdrops, that attend to her every whim. The court attempts to spread joy wherever it goes, completely unaware of its destructive side effects. In its wake are terrible storms.
#### Leader
For information on Tettlebug Moonflower, see Dramatis Personae (IW 5).
#### Goals
___
- ***Good Cheer.*** Tettlebug Moonflower spreads joy and happiness wherever she goes. She refuses to believe otherwise. She never returns to places she has visited. After all, she's already spread joy to that place. No need to see if the joy has lasted. She knows that it has.
- ***Music.*** Tettlebug is not a great singer, but music isn't about becoming an expert, it's about expressing oneself, about releasing oneself from inhibitions, about creativity. Her wingbeats are pounding drums and her voice tinkles like chimes.
#### Influence
___
- ***Devotees.*** Tettlebug is surrounded by sycophants. They compliment her constantly. And they are perfectly willing to put their lives on the line if it means that she remains unaware of the destruction she wreaks across the Feywild. In their eyes, it is worth the deaths of millions for Tettlebug to remain in blissful ignorance. Her laughter trumps all.

| 2 || Lightning incinerates a high-levelled member of one of the four factions (not one of the faction leaders), causing that faction to scramble to recruit someone to replace them. |
| 3 || **Warlocks of Tettlebug Moonflower** (IW) arrive in town, accompanied by subservient **goblins** (MM 166) and **kuo-toas** (MM 199), to sell six paintings of Tettlebug Moonflower. They ask for unusual payments (IW). They refuse to leave Endercoast until all are sold. |
| 4 || A **faerie dragon** (MM 133) entices Turph Musheen with promises of beautiful flowers to add to his shop if he follows it. When he returns, he has a new flower in his hair, a tulip that glistens with a sprinkling of dewdrops and fairy dust. |

Terrible weather. Even the mild days cause allergies, hayfever, sneezing, and sickness. Some say that it is the work of the most powerful archfey of all, one who controls the weather, controls the seasons, controls the world. Such an archfey must possess power undreamt of. Perhaps they could be convinced to help Endercoast. Though, just like with the eladrin elves, the season would determine this archfey's amenability.
A parade of fey passes through Endercoast singing praises of the Princess of Dewdrops. The parade has dozens upon dozens of goblins, bullywugs, kuo-toas, pixies, and sprites. Might be worth following them.
In Dewdrops, the party is beset by storms and rescued by the Princess of Dewdrops, Tettlebug Moonflower, a powerful pixie archfey. Tettlebug is responsible for the wicked weather experienced in the Feywild and in Endercoast. Tettlebug remains blissfully unaware of her true power, though her sycophantic devotees know it all too well. A group of four of her devotees, a goblin, a bullywug, a kuo-toa, and a storm mephit approach the party with a proposition: they will guide Tettlebug such that her powers provide Endercoast with food, water, and community, as long as the party rescues the bullywug swamp and the kuo toa cave in the Feydark from the destructive storms. If the party successfully protects these communities, Tettlebug's followers make do on their promise. If the group presses, they might be able to convince a few of the followers to see the errors of their ways, at which point the party's new quest becomes to reveal to Tettlebug the true extent of her capabilities, which will hopefully allow her to harness them to help save Endercoast. Unfortunately, the realization drives Tettlebug to madness.

During a holiday where the people of Endercoast get together and reminisce about the past, a teenaged girl, named Magpie, instead stares up at unfamiliar stars in wonder. If she's spoken to, she speaks of the possibilities of a future in this place, where the stars have true meaning, where the sun hangs at the horizon, and where the earth can nurture you as it nurtures its plants. There is a future here. Some time later, the girl seeks out the party. She explains that she is the first girl after seven boys. She was a very sick baby, and when her father pleaded with the gods to save her, he got no answer from them. But he did get an answer from someone. And she thinks, now that they are in the Feywild, that whoever answered her father's cry has finally taken its prize: her seven brothers, transformed into ravens. She asks the party to help her travel through the Feywild to find them: she will ask the sun to shine the way, entreat the stars for a gift, and seek shelter in the earth. They will bring her to her brothers.

Jacob Pleasant, a board member of the Union of Small Business Owners, requests a private audience with the party. He and his brother Wilhelm have always been close, though after the death of their father, they had a fight about how the body should be treated. Wilhelm wanted him to be buried in the Feywild, while Jacob just wanted him to be incinerated. Jacob won out in the end, but he is worried about this obsession with the Feywild in his brother. In fact, Wilhelm has just run off with one of those fey women. Jacob doesn't want to put his life and his family's livelihood at stake by leaving Endercoast's borders. He knows that the party are among the most respected adventurers in the city due to their place in Mayor Attercat's task force. He tells them he will pay them a total of five thousand gold pieces if they can find Wilhelm, talk some sense into him, and bring him home. If they can't do it, Jacob worries that he will eventually have to do it himself.

A tired mother, eyes red from tears, demands that the party listen to her. "The hag, Dearest Gran, has terrorised the good people of Endercoast for long enough. Yes, she grants them their wishes, but too many have been taken by her out of malice. And now my child is counted among the lost. Is her hut not clean enough? Why should she take so many? Why my child? Go forth into the wilds, find her, kill her, and return my boy to me."
When Endercoast was whisked away to the Feywild, a young girl was separated from her parents by time and space. In desperation, the little girl called out to someone to help her, and she was answered by two beasts: a wolf and a cicada. The wolf, recognising a heartache all too familiar, taught her to howl. But the cicada promised her a home. And when the girl accepted, the cicada condemned her to an eternity of servitude, for the cicada was a hag. And the girl howled and howled.
The wolf bargained for her release. The hag agreed, if the wolf would raise the girl. A simple request. Time is a funny thing in the Feywild. For her parents, it may as well have been yesterday they were whisked away. But for the girl, it has been 17 years. And her parents are long forgotten.

Once the party has completed at least one of the four main quests, they learn that Endercoast can only be returned to the Feywild during a period of harmonic convergence. In other words, they'll need to wait for the stars to -- quite literally -- align. This gives them the opportunity for more freeform exploration of the Feywild. They can pursue the quests of other courts, finish up side quests, scheme for one faction to dominate Endercoast, fight back against evil, or just explore for exploration's sake. Not to mention figuring out the mystery of who spirited Endercoast away to the Feywild in the first place.
As the harmonic convergence approaches, the party learns of several different potential culprits: Hermione Galanodel of the Sentinels of Equity, Mayor Hitchen Attercat, Commissioner Huck Lasick, Lord Cals, Cirrus the Jester, Dailili, or Tettlebug Moonflower. You decide which faction was the culprit, and that faction makes a serious effort to prevent the party from allying with any archfey that could help them. The party's investigations lead them to the island in the Sea of Vines. They learn of the purpose of the island: a watchtower. Within the watchtower is the true answer for how to get home. The party finds a way to pass the Sea of Vines using the help of one of the archfey, and when they reach the watchtower, they must defeat the enemy faction and its leader in a climactic battle.
The secret to returning home is "the friends we've made along the way". Armed with this knowledge, the party returns to Endercoast and prepares the city to be whisked back to the Material Plane. They Feywild is left behind, and each party member ends their story on a meaningful personal note.

# Creatures
## Quick Races
Many NPCs have the creature type "humanoid or fey (any race)". Give these creatures a race from the Quick Racial Feature Application Guide table below. This will massively speed up applying a race to your NPCs. When you do so, take into account the following suggestions.
- Don't bother adjusting the challenge rating.
- Don't bother changing the hit points or hit dice or whatever.
- Only change their base movement speed if they start at 30 ft. Add swimming, flying, and climbing as guided.
- If there's no spell save DC, provide a save DC of 10 for easy enemies, 15 for hard enemies, and 20 for boss monsters.
- If there's no attack bonus or spell attack bonus, provide +3 for easy enemies, +6 for hard enemies, and +9 for boss monsters.
- It should be fairly evident which language they speak; use the language list if you're unsure (IW).
- Give them Darkvision up to 60 feet if it makes sense for their race and environment, otherwise don't bother.
___
You can randomly determine an NPC's race by rolling 1d20. If you do so, embrace incongruent results. That's the Feywild for you.

## Ancient Beasts
The creatures described here are the oldest of the beasts. They are nameless, primordial, all of the fury and hatred of the wilds, but all of its beauty as well. Meeting such a creature is an encounter of legend. Those who pass on tales of their encounters are heralded as prophets or blasphemers, and to kill an ancient beast is to commit an unspeakable crime. The one who lands the killing blow on an ancient beast suffers a hag curse (IW).
A druid from the Feywild knows that it is a great taboo to take on the form of these beasts as their Wild Shape, but many still do. As a result, these great beasts often feel compelled to prove their identity through great feats of power.
### Ancient Bear
This ancient black bear has hibernated for millennia. It takes a lot to wake her from her slumber -- a beehive in her claws, an owl feather to her nose, a memory of her young. Once she is awake, she will do whatever it takes to return to her wonderful dreams of honey.
#### Ancient Bear Rumours
- The bear can see all around her even when she is asleep.
- The bear cannot be physically harmed while she is asleep; an ancient faerie blessing protects her.
- The bear's yawn is enough to put you to sleep where you stand.

>
> ***Claws.*** *Melee Weapon Attack:* +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. *Hit:* 14 (2d6 + 7) slashing damage.
>
> ***Yawn (Recharges 5-6).*** The bear yawns, magically plunging herself and other creatures into slumber. The bear can affect 50 hit points with this action. Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature within 60 feet of the bear (including her) that can hear her and is affected by the ability falls unconscious until the sleeper takes damage or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake (this doesn't work on the bear). Subtract each creature’s hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature’s hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren’t affected by this ability.

### Ancient Boar
The ancient boar has lived for thousands of years due to his sheer unwillingness to die.
#### Ancient Boar Wild Shape
A druid that takes the ancient boar as their wild shape adds ***(2/Day)*** to the boar's ***Relentless Defiance*** trait.
#### Ancient Boar Rumours
- The ancient boar is nothing more special than a particularly large boar. It just happens to have not yet been killed.
- The boar cannot be killed in combat by anything but the most devastating blow, and the boar can shake off any negative effects with nothing but a grunt and a snort.

### Ancient Owl
From her perch in the tallest tree of the Feywild, the ancient owl jealously observes all that goes on across her lands. She is opposed inherently to Dailili, the Tree of Infinity, who claims the owl's lands as hers. Dailili must be blighted into dust.
#### Ancient Owl Rumours
- She flies too fast to strike from the ground.
- Her screeches can chill you to the bone.
- A favourite technique of hers is to grab you, fly you high into the air, and drop you to your doom, all the while rending out your liver as though you were nothing but a mouse.
- She hates Dailili, for Dailili infringes on the land she governs.

### Ancient Spider
Long has she waited in her web for the juiciest prey. And here you are, having thrown yourself straight into her clacking mandibles. All these centuries have finally born fruit.
### Ancient Spider's Lair
The spider's lair was once a beautiful grove of trees, but now the trees are draped with webbing as white and soft as a bride's veil. While in her lair, on initiative count 20, the spider can take the following lair action, which doesn't affect CR.
___
- ***Strands.*** Every surface within 30 feet of the spider becomes covered in webs.

- She is more patient than Lord Cals.
- Draped in her webbing, she can resist even the most powerful of magic.
- Her webs do not decay.
- Her venom can paralyze even the hardiest of creatures.

## Ancient Wolf
A wolf fell victim to a hunter's trap. With iron clamped on broken bone, he howled for someone, anyone, to help him return to his family, before he knew what it meant to ask. He was saved. But in the end, all creatures must die, and soon his family was dust while he remained.
#### Ancient Wolf Rumours
- The wolf is a survivor. He heals from all wounds in only a minute. And he can shrug off magical effects like shaking his fur dry.
- The wolf has spent so long alone that he no longer needs a pack: if the only thing before you is his howling maw, he will strike true.
- You cannot hide from him.
- He has a companion, a human named Pup. Unusual for a beast that has spent so much time alone.
- He is as swift as the wind.
- When Endercoast was whisked away to the Feywild, a young girl was separated from her parents by time and space. In desperation, the little girl called out to someone to help her, and she was answered by two beasts: a wolf and a cicada. The wolf, recognising a heartache all too familiar, taught her to howl. But the cicada promised her a home. And when the girl accepted, the cicada condemned her to an eternity of servitude, for the cicada was a hag. The girl howled and howled.
- The wolf bargained with a hag for the release of a girl he had a special fondness for. The hag agreed on the condition that the wolf would raise the girl. A simple request. Time is a funny thing in the Feywild, however. For her parents, it may as well have been yesterday they were separated. But for the girl, it has been 14 years. And her parents are long forgotten.
#### Raised by the Wolf
The ancient wolf has a human **survivalist** (IW) companion named Pup. Pup speaks only Sylvan.

### Awakened Oak
An awakened oak is an ancient tree given life through the *awaken* spell.

### Awakened Trapper
A trapper is a massive plant that feeds on insects that land within its gaping maw, which it then traps inside of itself and dissolves with powerful acid. The *awaken* spell often has the side effect of increasing its size dramatically, which makes it ideal for warding off pests like crows and mice.

## Woodland Beings
### Darkwood Stalker
Darkwood stalkers are lonely spirits who wear the hair they would have grown in life as a thick keratin mask shaped like the horns of a goat. A bright pink flame, their true form, propels them through the air, protected by magical purple tendrils that lick at the edges of the branches around them.
#### Darkwood Stalker Rumours
- Line your weapons with silver before you approach one.
- They'll flare up with bright light when they feel threatened.
- Their masks are formed from the hair they would have grown if they had been given the chance to live a normal life.
- As a last defiant act, they'll explode into thick purple gas which can cause you to become lost in the Feywild.
- They are evil and bitter. They hate those who live out the kind of life that was taken from them.

### Time Vulture
Created by Lord Cals, time vultures relentlessly stalk their prey. They have the power to speed up and slow down their frame of reference for time. Many superstitious folk see them as a foretelling of death and undeath, an omen of evil. Those close to death may see them circling high up ahead, supernaturally slow, always waiting, always there.
If you have access to Xanathar's Guide to Everything, the spell *toll the dead* is thematically appropriate for a time vulture. You can add the cantrip to its at will spells.

### Witch
Witches sequester themselves away to study magic the way that they've always known it should be done: holistically, naturally, philanthropically, and for personal satisfaction.
#### Witch's Familiar
You can choose one of the following creatures to become a familiar for the witch. The witch's familiar has an intelligence of 10 (if it isn't already higher) and can speak Sylvan and one other language of the witch's choice.
- **bat** (MM)
- **cat** (MM)
- **crawling claw** (MM)
- **frog** (MM)
- **homunculus** (MM)
- **lizard** (MM)
- **owl** (MM)
- **poisonous snake** (MM)
- **pseudodragon** (MM)
- **rat** (MM)
- **raven** (MM)
- **spider** (MM)
- **weasel** (MM)
#### Witch's Potions
The witch's potions stay potent for 14 days. When you drink a witch's potion, it chooses whether to allow you to cast the spell or whether the spell infused in the potion targets you. If you cast the spell, the spell save DC is 13 and the spell attack bonus is +5.
The witch can spend an hour brewing additional potions (up to 6 infused potions total), infusing them with one of its prepared spells. When it brews a potion, it requires the components of the spell as well as additional components rolled randomly from the Extra Potion Components table. The witch will likely request that the party provide these components if it has agreed to brew the potion for them.
##### Extra Potion Components

### Poppiplob
Poppiplob is a shadow worshipped by kuo-toa. He came to Dearest Gran in search of immortality, and though she granted it to him, it was under the condition that he never take a life. He thought that refusing to save someone wouldn't count as killing them. Dearest Gran disagreed. Now he wanders the Feydark as a shadow. The kuo-toa found him and worshipped him, and through their worship, he gains strength.
#### Poppiplob, Dark Lord of Shadow, Ruler of Hidden Inky Blackness
If Poppiplob becomes an archfey, he becomes a fey creature, loses his vulnerability to radiant damage, and makes the following changes to his statblock.
___
> **Challenge** 8 (3,900 XP)
___
> ***Innate Spellcasting.*** Poppiplob's innate spellcasting ability is Constitution (spell save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). He can cast the following spells innately.
>
> At will: *darkness*
>
1/day: *eyebite, hunger of Hadar, spirit guardians* (evil shadowy remnants that deal necrotic damage)
___
> ***Strength Drain.*** *Melee Spell Attack:* +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. *Hit:* 17 (4d6 + 3) necrotic damage, and the target's Strength score is reduced by 2d4. The target dies if this reduces its Strength to 0. Otherwise, the reduction lasts until the target finishes a short or long rest. If a humanoid or fey with a shadow dies from this attack, a **shadow** (MM) rises from the corpse immediately.
#### Poppiplob Rumours
- Poppiplob becomes harder to kill for every shadow he absorbs.
- Poppiplob is a regular shadow other than the power to absorb other shadows. The kuo-toa give him his abilities, but he needs more shadows before he can truly reach his true potential as an archfey.
- If he were to become an archfey, he would gain powerful black magic. The very shadows he has absorbed would defend him in a miasma of dark energy.

### The Prowler
Malar, the Beast Lord, God of the Hunt, once walked in the Feywild in mortal form, the avatar of the Wild Hunt itself. But Malar grew tired of the Feywild and sought out to conquer the Happy Hunting Grounds, the Beastlands. What Malar did not realize was that his avatar had intelligence, a soul, and enough defiance to resist being annihilated after Malar was done with it. The avatar became the Prowler, a tortured, lost hunter that stalks the edges of the Feywild, preying on those who cannot find their way. But those who are lost because they were abandoned, well, the Prowler has a special place in his heart for them, and he nurtures them, strengthens them, makes them a lycanthrope, and sends them back to take revenge on those who abandoned them. One day the Prowler will be strong enough to challenge Malar and take on the mantle of Beast Lord. That is, if he can escape the Feywild.
The Prowler is more of an abstract conception of a predator than anything else; to some, he appears as a wolf wreathed in shadow. To others, a white bear that glows with furious runes. Some see him as a vicious ape, a panther, a lion, a curious cat, a fox, or a man with a bestial fury behind his eyes. Regardless of the form, everyone can agree that he is *big* and he is *quiet*.
#### Prowler Rumours
- Only silver weapons can pierce the Prowler's blessed hide.
- The Prowler once was invigorated by the mantle of Malar before he was cast aside.
- He appears in a different form to each person he hunts.
- He can see the truth, and he can read your intentions.
- His hide repels not just weapons, but magic as well.
- He is big, yes, but he is also quiet. Too quiet.
- A spark of Malar still remains in his heart, and this blesses him in his hunt.
- His bite inflicts a terrible curse.
- He is sympathetic to the plight of those who are abandoned.
