May 07, 2009 18:06:34 Now working on my wife's background for our upcoming FR game. We are looking for a Court in the plane of Faerie to tie her character too. One that is starting to fall into corruption, if at all possible. Her character is the illegitmate child of a Eladrin and a Green Elf, on the run from her mother's side of the family. The only one i can think of is Sildëyuir, realm of the star elves, which I believe has been recast as part of Faerie(Feywild). Any other suggestions for a civilized portion of Faerie that her character might trace her linage back to? Thanks as always.

Bastion Press has produced a sourcebook, entitled Faeries that everyone "swears by"- as they should, since Steve Schend was involved in the project. I, myself, don't have the book, but I do want to eventually get it.

-If your looking for a group on the Plane of Faerie dealing with corruption, though, you really don't need to look any further than the Unseelie Court, which is basically Fey corruption personified.

May 07, 2009 21:03:27 There hasn't ever really been a ton of information on the (demi)Plane of Faerie, and at times it has been a tad mixed. Some sources (like the 3e MotP) have it as a plane unto itself, while others detailed the Seelie and Unseelie courts as mobile domains that wandered Arborea and Pandemonium respectively. I merged the two notions in one of the later print issues of Dragon magazine with a Demiplane of Faerie within the ethereal plane, capable of tangential connections to appropriate wild places on the prime material plane - fey crossroads, remote forest glades, etc.

4e (in FR's case) tries to retcon everything into the default 4e Feywild, for better or for worse.

#353 - though the faerie thing was only a brief thing, one or two lines really in a table of demiplanes and their descriptions.

May 11, 2009 13:22:12 Thats whats said in the FRCG but it doesn't add up right.

Ed and Elaine seemed to see the Plane of Fearie as a plane on the prime material. During 3rd edition they had it as a mystic cloak around the world or a plane in the ethereal or spirit realms. And the new feywild is like an wild arcane reflection of the natural world of Toril.

-Yes. Feywild is the 4e term for the 1e/2e/3e Plane of Faerie.
