This occasion was celebrated as the holiday Fey Day in the Faerûnian city of Waterdeep. It was believed the barrier between the Feywild and Toril was especially weak on Ches 19 of the Calendar of Harptos. These were highly sought after by adventurers that dared to brave the plane's perilous wilderness.
Motes of energy that originated in the Feywild manifested as feywild sparks. As an additional consequence of this all-encompassing magic, arcane spells tended to be amplified in power or duration when cast in the Feywild, and other times would manifest in entirely unexpected ways. Īrcane magic ran more freely and powerfully in the Feywild than it did in the Prime, and it was for this reason that so many of its inhabitants and landmarks were suffused with magic. At the same time, those with no fey ancestry might find their memories of time spent in the Feywild going hazy, if not vanishing altogether. Lost time could suddenly "catch up" to a mortal, sending them into fits of exhaustion or hunger, or even killing them instantly if many years had passed. More concerning, leaving the Feywild could have dire consequences.
While any visitor would experience time flowing as normal, it was often the case that more time was passing in the Prime, sometimes on the order of weeks, months, or years longer than expected, although it was also possible for little or no time to have passed instead. but held some of the most beauteous locales in all the multiverse.įurther complicating any visit to the plane was that time did not flow the same in the Feywild as on the Prime. While two landmarks might be the same distance apart as in the Prime when travelling in one direction, they might be inexplicably further or closer on the return trip. Navigating the Feywild was further complicated by the fact that distances did not always make sense. While most Prime locations and landmarks had analogues in the Feywild, sites of civilization in the Prime could be so unimportant in the Feywild as to be easily missed, while natural landmarks might be significantly more majestic or extreme. Īs an "echo" of the Prime Material plane, its geography was similar although not entirely identical to that of Toril, but the natural landscape was markedly more dramatic and beautiful in the Feywild, with mountains standing straighter and sharper, rivers flowing clearer and faster, flowers bloom brighter and more fragrantly, and weather manifesting in supernatural ways.
Strong emotions even altered the landscape of the Feywild itself, wilting flowers trailed the despondent or furious and carefree animals traveled alongside chipper and cheerful individuals. Smells were stronger, colors were more vivid, and sounds were clearer, but at the same time shadows were darker and impulses were harder to control. Visitors to the plane found that all sensations, both sensory and emotional, were heightened. The plane is always bathed in twilight of the setting (or perhaps rising) sun, with lanterns and fireflies providing additional, haunting lights. The Feywild was a place of unrestrained and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The Feywild often appeared as dark and mysterious to many observers.
