So, the feywild is the meterial plane's reflection, and the shadowfell is its shadow.
OoO
Shadow and glow? they're both reflections, but more like parallel universes
More like
Feywild = smiling face
Shadowfell = frowning face
@@justnoob8141 and the material plane is just a meh face
In one of the campaigns I play in, I play a wizard who spent some time in the Fey Wild. First thing I said was "Do not say anything." Came to a Fey creature who asked us for our names, our fighter gave his, my wizard just did a slow turn.
Am I a joke to you.jpg
We then huddled as I explained the weight of what just happened and started handing out temporary names.
I was Venn (the giant word for friend), our barbarian was Skold (shield), cleric was Liv (life), and our fighter was Vind (wind) for what was between his ears.
That's hilarious. What what is the consequence of giving out their real name
Some fey now knows you and can do with that information what they please. Just imagen the worlds worst prankster that always knows you’re location
Skold....I was not expecting to find the old fashioned form for My family's last name on a video for dungeons & dragons
@@jonathanstrauss8194 "Hello, good sir. May I please have your name?"
"Jonathan."
"Thank you so much. I shall go sell it on E-Bay."
"Wait, what?"
Yeah... THAT!
@@jonathanstrauss8194
There are many various consequences that can range from annoying to detrimental.
One example could be that you are now incapable of presenting yourself with your real name. If a prince *gave* his name to a fey, then the prince may no longer be able to say, “I am prince-“ and stop themselves mid sentence, along with the incapability of writing it.
Another possibility is that the Fey may now present himself with YOUR name, along with making himself look like you, and possibly mimic all of your gestures, OR the fey might sell your name to another fey as trade for something else, causing the real prince to search for possible decades trying to get his original name back.
Those are just basic examples. When fey make deals with you, they purposefully make very broad and abstract deals that inexperienced people will not understand are deals to begin with.
I never realized how bad ass the Feywild is. I always pictured it much nicer and tamer, but Intrigue and a fleshed out story was actually there. Lots of story ideas to explore there.
The best way to view the Feywild is over the top. I picture it leaning towards the chaotic side of alignment and it is the material plane with less logic and more color; red are more vivid, shadows darker, and emotions reach new highs and lows. The shadowfell is darkness and misery; it's hades, Greek myth not dnd realm, but the feywild is the extremes that seem unreal to outsiders.
@@isaachaahr8691 I've always heard it as "The shadowfell is depression, whereas the feywild is mania"
The fey are immortal and alien to us in mindset. Good and evil does not really apply to them. Nor does order or chaos. The feywild is a place of unbridled life, without all that complicated nonesense the gods beget. The fey that are unwelcome there are such because they are completely destructive, their nature making them wholly malignant to all life.
This and more makes the fey and their home, the feywild. To them everything is all just fun and games...even when their pranks maim and kill. They do not understand mortals and their limitations. They can pretend that they can, fairly convincingly if they are intelligent enough, but they do not really understand nor empathize with mortals. We are...kinda like toys that can make their own decisions to the fey. It usually will not affect them if they break us, and if it does it will be because of some deeply selfish reason. This is the kind of place you visit when you go to the feywild. Where everyone has their own rules, those rules are valid and known to all the natives, and they all are just dying to see whether you can navigate the rules you don't even have a clue both exist and are binding.
tame TAME
Fey are the personification chaos, it is litteraly less trustworthy than the devils because they are at least lawful.
Reminds me of Toussaint in the Witcher.
Reminds me of the nevernever from Dresdenfiles. Heck if it`s true that Auril is or works for the Queen of Air and Darkness. You could make an interesting Campaign about the revelations in cold days about the purpose of the unseelie court. Also Mab vs. Lolth, the Drow would make an ideal supplement to Mabs troops.
i think the spirit world from avatar the last airbender and legend of korra has some really interesting similarities to the feywild. the fact that the archfey can influence the landscape with their moods and thoughts reminds me of how the spirit world reacts to korra, who houses one of the two most powerful spirits in that world. if you replace "spirit"with "fey" its nearly the same.
The timestamps are my own reference but enjoy nonetheless!
4:55 - Femorians
5:50 - Teandre & summer court
6:10 prince of frost & winter court
Yeah it’s different in 5e. It’s still called fey step but you can choose to be a summer, spring, winter, or autumn eladrin based on your personality traits. And when something happens to your character that majorly effects it’s mood, it can transform into a different eladrin. For example, if I was a spring eladrin and a close person died, I’d probably transform into a winter eladrin
Thank you, I've been looking for lore on the Feywild forever
I love learning about they Feywild! All the descriptions and illustrations I see of it are so cool!
With the new Module coming out this video is going to get pumped!
So fae, so good ...
ha!
SCAG has Titania as the Summer Queen.
Titania, the Summer Queen, is perhaps the mightiest of the archfey. With a smile she can ripen a crop, and with a frown summon wildfires. She rules the seelie of the Summer Court.
Sword Coast Adventurers Guide pg. 138
The Feywild is the Parts of the Material Plane too overexposed to Positive Energy to be Prime Material, but these are Material. The Shadowfell is the Parts of the Material Plane too overexposed to Negative Energy to be Prime Material, but these are Material. Keep in Mind - BOTH the Positive and Negative Planes are essential and dangerous beyond compare. Just look at the nature of Radiant (Positive) and Necrotic (Negative) Damages.
5:47 a piece by Stephanie Pui-mun Law, one of my favourite artists. I love her beautiful watercolour art
Your videos have me adjust my campaign every week. This is just perfect and clearifying. Wish I could help make videos like this
Glad you enjoyed it :D As far as help if you know blender or another program like it I'm trying to figure out some sort of animated intro.
Jorphdan Wish I could man, If you ever need a character picture art edited to match your character beter I'll help tho.
I'll keep you in mind :D
Haha nice! can't wait for a request
@5:56 ... this explanation will live on in my memory forever. And that's definitely how I'll show the Feywild to my players! lol
Hi huge fan of your videos from México. Is nice to see that you remember your hispanospeaker community and add subtitles. I get some english but a few words escape from my lexicon. Im suscribing for this
Welcome! Lucio is my translator so many thanks to him!
Luciano Gug as a natural English speaking American I have to say that your use of the English language, based on what you commented, is very advanced. Most English speaking people do not know what the word lexicon means. Hat's off to you.
Tyler Fleming the reason why most people don’t know what it means because its usually not used, it was used most likely because that was just how they were formally taught. Or at least thats my guess.
Great stuff! Extremely well written and composed!
This had great clarity and information! I'll be watching your others!
my fae-vorite
My fey-orite
The fair(y) folk have always been terrifying in folklore.
God those adventures of yours in the Fey sound a delight!
Excellent! I'm really looking forward to watching one on the Shadowfell
yet again, absolutely amazing!
thank you. I intend on taking my players, once I finish my campaign and have dmed a practice campaign, through all the planes of excistance
In the feywild the “p” isn’t silent
Seriously one of my favorite lore series! Keep up the awesome work man!
Can do! :D
Great work, boss. Really enjoyed this one.
Loving this series. It's been years since I read much realms-stuff, but these videos are drawing me back in. Love the zany anything-goes mix of fantasy elements in this setting.
That's great! :D
liked and subbed! Always looking for D&D lore content! as a forever DM I can't seem to learn enough.
I'm looking forward to this series on cosmology! Far Realm!
We are now in the Feywild in a game I'm playing. According to our DM, the Lost Court is located where the Anauroch should be, and with the death of the Mist King, now 3 princes battle for it's control: The Firefly Prince, The Butterfly Prince and The Dragonfly Prince. I came to see if any of that was official lore. Best sessions of the campaign so far. The Feywild is the best!
you are exactly what I've been looking for about 4 months!
Glad you found our channel :D
Great lore!
AJ's approval? Nice.
the feywild certainly makes for some seelie fun alright! ...... I'll see myself out.
+ZerkMonsterHunter 👏
This channel is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you
Welcome!
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, I've learned a lot from all of your educational videos. Thank you for this.(:
Thanks for watching :D
Amazing content!
"Silly fun" sums up the Feywild very well.
4th Edition Lore is awesome!!!!
dat gangsta outro song
Thanks for this video. I'm currently running my campaign in the feywilds, in the last session they made it to the underwater city of the court of coral, and they're loving it. So many possibilities in the feywilds!
That's great! So much adventure in the feywild. :)
Awesome video I’m going to watch the whole series!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :D
Thank for these videos!
Thank you for watching :)
I recently began DMing and I really think my group would be interested in the feywild adventure you mentioned.
Can't wait for your shadow fell video and thanks for the book recommendation. I have many 5e books, but I have used a fair amount from 4e books as well even though I don't play 4e. The handbook, monster manual and neverwinter campaign setting have been really helpful in adding to my game. Forgotten realms campaign setting is also coming in the mail and I will keep and eye out for heroes of the fey wild.
+Richard Henderson awesome! I have the PDF but I think I should buy the 4th edition manual of the planes. I'm using it alot and it's nice to have a physical book sometimes
Jorphdan ya PDF for handbook and MM but I got the last physical copy of neverwinter at my game store. I love having the physical copies as well. I also have a problem since I've started D&D lol I pre ordered tomb of annihilation and xanathars guide and I will also pick up Taldori campaign setting as well.
Sounds like the best problem to have :D
Jorphdan enabler! Lol
So lovely
Luv these videos and thanks again for making them.
Peace:)
+Sugar4me2 thanks for watching 😀
I can't even imagine how dark and horrible the Underdark must be in the Shadowfell
The Great Pumpkin is the best warlock patron. my mind is made.
Brilliant video as always. Thank you good sir.
thanks :)
Really great! Thanks. SUBSCRIBED.
Welcome! :D
Im only getting into dnd and being a satyr bard i thought to my self maybe give myself some lore.... this is a literal rabbithole... i love it
Welcome!
@@Jorphdan played my first session just yesterday and had a fucking blast!
I want this Quest now
you earned a new subscriber! i think i saw your channel on the forggotten realms archives facebook page.
Woo Excited to have you here :D
Gotta love the Feywild
Extremely useful for my first dive into the Feywild! What are your favorite resources for the Feywild and where can I find more?
Haven't played since 2nd edition but this sounds cool. Would love to check out some of the reference texts
I always thought of the Fey-wild as the fantasy art that teenage girls always have scribbled in the side of their notepads.
In the actual lore it's very Savage and harsh. I can imagine some dm running it like a Columbia type world.
"As a joke the Fey-wild was an unbelievably beautiful world but was filled with the most Savage vicious people in existence!"
You should do a video on Dragonborn and Tiefling lore for us AD&D guys trying to catch up. Great video as always!
+Mike Cif sounds like good topics. I'll add it to the list :)
Time in Lordran is convoluted
Please Please do a Faerie Dragon video! :D
I'm very curious about how they fit into the lore, how they link up to their more epic cousins, what they mean to the fey that follow them, do they have some bigger power, and why are they not more formidable... or if they are more formidable, and I'm mistaken, how are they?
I'm working on a story involving a Gnome village with mischievous fey running havoc in the bidding of a faery dragon leading the characters to greater turmoil.
I love these videos. I've always been a fan of dungeons and dragons and forgotten realms. How awesome would it be if this was real?
It kinda is... but almost all people don't know about it. It amazes me how much fiction is often so close to the truth.
@@Newt211 do explain
You have plans to do specific deities/organizations/creatures etc?! So much material to mine! Keep up the great work.
Yep many of those are on my list. Much to cover! :)
Nice video Good job id live to see you do a take on a timeline of Eberron :)
That's in the possible future. The next obvious choice would be Dark Sun or Eberron, follow by a distant Spelljammer ^^;
I don't understand how there are 224,439 views on this video but only 5.8K likes?? What the heck people, this shit is amazing! Or, perhaps, us 5.8K really have no lives and thus live off of watching this kind of stuff over and over again. Haha. Seriously though man, I love your videos!
Where can i get the image on 5:33? it would make a nice wallpaper
i like a cosmology with an infinite number if material planes in the center surrounded by the other planes. like everything else they do surrounding the material planes.
Wish you would make a video about Agralond.
The feywild seems like a great place to add some filler when your not done finishing your main storyline.
Didn’t know the fey Wild was this dope. Now I want to put Humpty Dumpty in a campaign
My Feywild is largely inspired by Dresden. It still exists as an alternate "layer" of reality, overlapping reality, but as my world's Prime Material is the whole material cosmos, not a single planet, different worlds all have their echoes. Half of a world is in summer, half in winter, and both are reflections of the world untouched by mortals turned up to eleven. The two halves rotate, literally shifting from lush green summer into dark, frozen winter and back as the lands beneath cross the boundary.
Winter exists as a sort of barrier put up by the gods to protect the Prime Material from the Far Realm, as if the Prime Material goes up, the universe breaks apart. Summer exists to blunt the edge of Winter against the mortal world - to keep it in check.
Neither kind of Fey has our morals, and some exist between the extremes. But Summer Fey, being about life, light, and growth, tend to be less harsh and brutal, and so are more loved if no less feared.
As for the Shadowfell, it's also an echo, but one where entities are tossed as a kind of Tartarus or Planar Alcatraz - this is where we put monstrous Material Plane beings that aren't breaking any Divine convents that would bring the Outer Planes in, but who are strong enough that simply killing or imprisoning them won't suffice.
I hope my DM chooses to involve the Feywild in our next campaign
Hi there! I was wondering if transcripts were available? There’s so much good information in this video, I’d love to have a written copy to take notes on. Thank you!
No transcripts sorry. The scripts are my rambled thoughts and I don't think would translate well for your notes. Best to just take notes and research more on the Forgotten Realms Wiki! :D
Epic
I presented the realm of the feywild as a land of giant purple and rose colored trees, lush foliage tons of strange creatures, faeries, Fey elves (arch fey the party calls them fey elves), t Rex's covered in rainbow like feathers etc, occasionally a large grass plane made up of thin yellow grass is found with a large tree which canopy covers the entire plain stopping only at the canopy of the other forest. Inside each tower an ancient fey elf which provides entry and exit from the realm via a gift. Occasionally a group of dangerous creatures will appear or the party will offend the wrong being, overall I leave the details and meaning for all of it untold, it's better that way
I don't know if you have a video on this yet or if it's on your to-do list but I quite enjoy this formats and I was wondering if you had plans to do one on Realmspace
I hadn't but it sounds like a great topic. I'll keep it on my list of potential topics thanks!
I really want to run a feywild campaign for my players! one of them plays a pixie, he'll appreciate xD
I like jorfdans vids
Not a bad video, although you maybe could have spent a little time talking about the different versions of the Feywild; whilst this video neatly address the more Forgotten Realms tied version of the Feywild from 5e, I personally am more interested in the original Feywild of the Nentir Vale, the version covered by Heroes of the Feywild and its predecessor, the 4e Manual of the Planes.
My fay is based on the SCP-4000 where if you are talking with them, DONT lie, DONT tell your name, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY try to keep quiet... unless your dr.Bright in which case “yes, my name dose taste quite tart.” 😂 the fay is absurdly ridiculous and it’s best to keep quiet and focused cause it’s one large nomanclativehazard (a hazard that requires said target to say their name or give a word to identify them in order for it to work like if a fay says “Hello fellow scholar” and you respond in words then you are now identified as “fellow scholar” to that Fay, so if they call you something don’t respond or they will have a way of identifying you, if they call you “hey” then you can respond. Names hold power, and if you know the name of a target they can be a lot easier to target especially when talking magic.)
Oh and my players are about to meet a hag (and we all know they came from the Fay like an unwanted Baba Yaga) so they don’t know it’s a hag so soon some funny and weird stuff is about to happen. Yep 👍
Hey, I'm playing a human paladin with a connection to the Feywild.
I could use some help, please!
I'm making him an Oath of Ancients paladin that still doesn't know where his divine power comes from.
In his backstory, before the adventure, he worked helping his father who is a cemetery caretaker. And he doesn't know who his mother is or why did she leave them, but his father told him she might have been a paladin as well.
In the first session, he had a drink he didn't know was hallucinogenic and so he started seeing fairies everywhere.
Once he gets the spells Find Steed and Misty Step, I want to give them as much Feywild flavor as I can.
Any more ideas?
Really late on this so you probably won’t find this too useful.
Make it so the father made a deal of some kind with the fey mother, assuming that’s what you’re alluding to, and have it so that father got something from her (your choice) and the deal was that he give her his firstborn child in return. She thought she was ahead of him since he was hallucinating, but then he asks her, “when do we start?”
She’s confused and asks for him to elaborate.
He then says, “You wanted my firstborn?” followed by him drunkenly undressing.
She’s so impressed by him turning the tables on her while being drunk that she actually makes a new deal with him, while he’s still drunk, that she’ll give him the baby(your character) along with his reward from their original deal afterwards and he in turn must raise the baby to adulthood. He drunkenly agrees.
About a few days later in the normal realm but a year or so later for the feywild, you get dropped off as a baby in front of your father’s home. Your dad doesn’t know why, but he has this sudden compulsion to raise you.

FYI, I think fey hybrids are an actual race, so you might want to look up their stats.

Fae Born from the wiki
www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Fae_Born_(5e_Race)
Arent Gnomes also from the Feywild?
I heard that at some point, there was a bit of a change regarding Gnomes as a playable core race. I think I remember something about them being from the Feywild and traveled to the prime material plane through magic. So does that mean that Gnomes are considered fey creatures, or am I getting confused?
I think in 4e they were considered fey. Because in 4e you had an origin and a type. So Gnomes and Elves were "Fey Humanoid" but in 5e I think they lost that fey attachment.
I couldn't find anything that says Gnomes traveled from the feywild, so I'm assuming not. If you find a piece of info though I'd love to see it :D
ok but low-key I used the same outro song for a final project in my Health politics class my senior year in college lmao
The world of the Jinn.
I enjoy your videos. I have been gaming for over thirty years and love the Forgotten Realms, although I cannot for the life of me digest anything that comes from the Farce(4th) Edition of Dungeons and Dragons.
Oh no! I hope my video didn't give you indigestion
I enjoyed the video, you are doing great with what you have to work with. The indigestion comes from what Wizards did to my favorite game when they changed not just the game mechanics but twisted the storyline to fit the corruption that they created.
I know there are different "campaign settings" in Dungeons & Dragons. And pretty much each campaign setting is a planet set within its own universe. Although all of these universes as a whole, I'm assuming, are all somehow a part of the prime material plane.
Is the Faywilde a reflection of the material plane as a whole? Or just one particular "setting" in the material plane?
What does it mean to be an alternate dimension that shares the same cosmological space? If the party acquires a spelljammer ship in feywild, could they just fly it to their home plane(t) through space?
i dont have a youtube account because i never comment on videos, but i just have to comment on this one so ill settle on using my little brothers account. i just finished binging all of these episodes and??? im in love???? this was so interesting and well done i cant wait for a new episode (cant believe i caught up!) anyways if you can id really love if you could explain next episodes other continents within toril - esp zahara (though im also good with maztica and kara tur) ! also about more cities within faerun, and it's different human ethnicites and culutres because there are so many and each is so intresting :) if we can request specifics id love if you could get in some explanation about bedine people and the city of evereska :) sorry this is a lot to ask but either way great videos
Thanks for watching! Yes those are all great topics and many of them were already on my list of videos to make. The next 8-9 videos will be about the inner and outer planes. But after that I'm going back to Faerun to cover some major cities, events, and cultures. I love Al-Qadim so I now that Zakhara isn't far off. Glad you're enjoying the channel! Thanks for the comment.
by the way, was there any big event explaining 3e? bc if there is either i missed it or you skipped it!
There wasn't, which makes me sad that the others all had one
awww yeah this makes sense :\ thanks for clarifying ! also did evermeet comeback to faerun? because the wiki says they remained in the feywild and dont mention any 5e return of them to faerun
Page 18 of the Sword Coast Adventure Guide says that Ships from Evermeet sailed into ports on the Sword Coast. A nation thought lost or destroyed had suddenly returned. There's tons more info in the SCAG too about Evermeet, it's pretty safe to assume it's back.
On the wiki, if you search Evermeet under the "Second Sundering" article it has this information as well.
Are there campaigns where the Feywild is used in?
2:43 What anime is that?
6:16 You cant fool me . That's not the Fortress of Frozen Tears , that is Supermans Fortress of Solitude . :)
ya got me :)
Well now I have the perfect excuse to have a 2nd Edition Celtic-Born in a campaign. I'll just say that he was stuck in the Feywilds, and finally found a way out.
So... the feywild is a place that looks like the material plane, has brighter colors and everyone there is insane in some way... Pretty sure that’s Brazil, guys. (I’m Brazilian, and Fey looks like creatures of “Zueira”)
Kkkkkkk vdd cara o povo aq sempre tem um pouquinho de loucura 🤣
Does anyone have all the books?
If someone where to dig a giant hole where a city was in the faewild would the hole appear there and destroy the city in the prime material plane?
I son't like the name but the concept and themes have a place in the multiverse.
