This is reflected in the nature of the plane, which is
filled with magical forests, misty swamps, and hidden
enclaves. Like its inhabitants, the Feywild can be
treacherous and unpredictable, especially in relation to
magical effects. Wild magic zones occur throughout the
realm and everything in it, from insects to trees to rocks,
possesses some degree of sentience.
It is rare for a mortal visitor to the Feywild to recall
much about what they saw there, adding immensely to the
plane’s mystique. The entire trip is experienced in a haze
somewhat similar to a permanent state of drunkenness.
Furthermore, the flow of time does not run straight in the
faerie lands. There is no day or night in the Feywild to
track time by (only an eternal, twinkling dusk), and a
visitor might find that what they took for a few days spent
in the Feywild turned out to be months or years in the rest

Archfey and Courts

of archfey. These legendary individuals are the equals of
the demon princes of the Abyss or the archdevils of

creatures have to gods. Typically, archfey

are dozens of Faerie Courts in the Feywild,
each with their own agenda and policies,
which serve as the main vehicles of social
advancement, friendship, rivalry and
organization in the realm.
Fey do not believe in borders or
territories; land in the Feywild cannot be
owned or traded as it is in the Material
Plane. Therefore, fey society is not
organized into kingdoms, states or
countries, but is instead structured

 Convictions. The Obsidian Court’s policies are
enshrined in an ancient tome, which is not lightly amended.
Some of the many rules therein are:
• Your first priority is the Court. Everything you do
should advance the Court’s goals.
• The archfey are an umbrella under which lesser folk
can shelter. What is good for them is good for
everyone.
• Never do anything unless you’re getting
something in return.

Rose Court
The Rose Court attracts some of the most
benevolent fey into its ranks. United by their sense
of charity, Rose fey do everything they can to help
others. The Court provides shelters and safe havens
for fey creatures in the Material Plane, as well as
humanoids lost in the Feywild. There is some
division within the Rose Court on the subject of
pacifism: some members oppose violence under all
circumstances, while others believe that fighting in
self-defense can be justified.
Archfey. The Rose Court is a large organization with
many archfey in its ranks. The most senior among them
form the Council of Seven Thorns, which decides upon the
Court’s internal rules and external priorities. Prominent

archfey after serving for one-hundred-and-one years with
the Caelagarm Oath-Keepers; she only recently switched
allegiances from the Frolicking Court to the Rose Court.
Convictions. The members of the Rose Court keep the
following priorities in mind, though they do make an
effort to adapt their approach depending on the current
political trends in the Feywild:
• Do not allow others to come to harm, even if it
means placing yourself in danger.
• Fear and anxiety are just as dangerous as slings
and arrows. It is just as important to protect
people’s feelings as it is their bodies.
• We are stronger when we work together.
Always seek to work with like-minded people
towards shared goals.
• Treat humanoids as equals. After all, some of
the archfey were elves, once.

these pains on others, for they can siphon their

Ugly Diversity
A wide range of appearances can be found among
boggarts, leading some to believe they are
shapeshifters―though this is not actually the case. In
fact, a boggart’s appearance is dependent on their
personality and disposition. Rage-filled red caps might
look like shrunken, curmudgeonly old men, while
inquisitive bogles might look more like big-nosed

― Kyu Sweetbreeze, pixie wild magic sorceress

Aside from fey elves, the principal inhabitants of the

feywild are fairies. These tiny, winged folk cluster in
treetop villages and hidden enclaves, where they go
about their business much like any other group of
people.

Magical Wonder
Most fairies lack the size or strength of other races, which
puts them at a disadvantage in many aspects of life. To
offset this, fairy society is steeped in magic: pixie artisans
rely on conjured servitors and magic spells to do their
heavy lifting, while sithe armies field entire
regiments of sorcerers and warlocks. Almost all
fairies have some amount of arcane skill, so simple
magical effects are commonplace in their towns and
villages.

Light Hearts
It is not only fairies’ bodies that are lightweight: their
hearts are also buoyant. While easily buffeted by the
winds of fate, they are quick to return to their natural
dispositions, whatever that might be. Pixies tend to be
sunny and cheerful, sprites are rather more understated,
and wry, wolfish smiles are never far from the lips of a

Druid Circle
Though their organization is invisible to most outsiders,
druids are part of a society that spans the land, ignoring
political borders. All druids are nominally members of this
druidic society, though some individuals are so isolated that
they have never seen any high-ranking members of the
society or participated in druidic gatherings. Druids
recognize each other as brothers and sisters. Like creatures
of the wilderness, however, druids sometimes compete with
or even prey on each other. At a local scale, druids are

Hag’s Doorknob
Wondrous item, very rare
Hags are wily and cunning, and it is difficult to keep them
out of places they're not supposed to be. One of the tricks
they use is the hag's doorknob, a round brass handle
imbued with powerful transmutation magic.
As an action, you can fix the doorknob to a wooden,
plaster or stone surface (such as a wall, ceiling or floor)
within your reach. This causes a doorway, 5 feet wide and
8 feet tall, to appear in the surface, as long as there is an
open space within 5 feet of the other side of it (the
doorknob fails to attach to a deeper surface). The doorway
creates no instability in a structure surrounding it.
The doorway persists until a creature uses an action to
remove the doorknob from it (this can be done from either
side).

 Cuca Hag
A particularly hideous variety of hag with scaly skin and
the heads of crocodiles, a cuca combines animalistic
savagery with sinister magic and towering arrogance.
Taste for Bad Behavior. Cuca love to misbehave:
they are loud, obnoxious and covetous, even among
their own covens. When dealing with humanoids,
they can be truly vicious, being motivated primarily
by spite and bitterness.
These hags are drawn to misbehavior in others.
Witnessing disobedience and malice is invigorating
for them, and nothing tastes better to them than the
flesh of a naughty child. Hence, bad children need to
sleep lightly, lest a cuca snatches them from their bed
and gobbles them up.
Hatred of Heroes. Honorable heroes and brave
warriors are anathema to cuca. Being incapable of
such righteous devotion, a hag will try to undermine
and corrupt any hero they encounter. Barely able to
conceal their contempt of such people, it does not
take much to provoke them into launching a
physical assault with snapping jaw and slashing

Yuki-Onna
Beautiful but capricious, yuki-onna appear before mortals
during fierce blizzards, sometimes leading lost souls to
safety, and sometimes luring them to a frosty grave. It is
said that these snow-women must disguise themselves as
humans in order to find a husband and bear children,
though others assert that they are in fact the transformed
spirits of women who got lost in snowstorms.
Unearthly Beauty. These fey creatures always appear as
beautiful women with long, black hair, soft, blue eyes, and
icy skin. Their snowy robes swirl and billow continuously,
even when no wind blows (though they are, of course,
rarely seen in such calm conditions). Few humanoids can
look upon a yuki-onna without being stunned by their
captivating presence.
Bloodless Killers. Yuki-onna disdain physical violence
for reasons unknown, which is particularly odd,
considering the frequency with which they attempt to kill
mortals. Thus, rather than direct conflict, a yuki-onna relies
on the natural cold of the tundra to do the heavy lifting. She
may use trickery, illusion or enchantment to hasten the
process, but will never willingly inflict harm by her own
hand.
