    I don’t think anyone is talking about this: when Ashton says he thinks Laudna’s the oldest and Dorian says “I wouldn’t bet on that”, he’s talking about Fearne not himself. And Ashley gives a little self-satisfied smile which is adorable and very on brand for Fearne.

      I mean isn't the feywild suppose to be a mess when it comes to time, space and logic? Like even if she claims to be a century if she's basing it on feywild years that could possibly mean anything. Like a century in the feywild could've been only a day in the material plane or a thousand years. I'm probably wrong, but I'm very curious so I asked.

      @@davidsousa4652 If the Feywild acts as the Fae realm in actual Celtic mythos, then a couple days there could easily be weeks or even years in the prime material plane. Though we've seen the party manage to play with Feywild time in past campaigns enough to return to the prime material within the same amount of time as they spent in the Feywild, and even less time sometimes, but that was with the help of our favorite Archfay. It's rare to have less time pass in the prime material plane than the Feywild, just as a normal thing.
