Feywild


 * &rarr; For the episode named "The Feywild" or "Into the Feywild," see .

The Feywild, also known as the Plane of Faerie, is one of the Planes of Existence in the Critical Role universe. It overlaps the Material Plane.

Description
Feywild doesn't have directions common to the Exandria — instead of north or west, there are duskward, seaward, nightward, or tangleward.

A creature that leaves the Feywild must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. Fey creatures automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do any creatures, like elves, that have the Fey Ancestry trait. A creature that fails the saving throw remembers nothing from its time spent in the Feywild. On a successful save, the creature’s memories remain intact but are a little hazy. Any spell that can end a curse can restore the creature’s lost memories.

Syngorn

 * &rarr; Main article: Syngorn.

Syngorn is an elven city within the realm of Tal'Dorei that phased into the Feywild as a defensive response until the danger posed by the dragons had passed.

Evershifting Grasses
A field nearby the Moonbrush forest covered with tall, thick grass. True to its name, after the grass was trampled by someone, it shifts back into its initial place, leaving no trail behind. Also, the evershifting grass is very sensitive. If an unwary traveler would stomp it carelessly or say something insulting, the grass will turn its color from deep verdant green to a maroon purplish, then become dense and difficult to traverse.

Moonbrush

 * &rarr; Main article: Moonbrush.

The Moonbrush is a heavy forest in Feywild. Thick fog permeates the entire forest.

Green Sea
The sea curves around the outside of the Shademurk, connecting with one of the Gilded Run tributaries.

Gilded Run

 * &rarr; Main article: Gilded Run.

A series of enchanted rivers that surround the Shademurk forest, with some of them flowing into the Green Sea.

Shademurk Bog

 * &rarr; Main article: Shademurk Bog.

The Shademurk Bog was a corrupt, thickly-wooded swamp in the Feywild that later became the Shademurk Forest after the source of the corruption was destroyed.

Notable Portals
There are many portals from Exandria to the Feywild:
 * Within the Frostweald, frequently used by Vox Machina.
 * A special portal built by Vox Machina for Artagan. It was later used by Fearne Calloway to travel from the Feywild to the Verdant Expanse and then to Syngorn.

Courts
While fey are creatures of chaos and change, and not all of them accept authority other than their own, sometimes they do organise under the rule of courts. There are multiple courts in the Feywild, some more powerful than others, with rivalries or alliances between them, and they usually welcome fey that share alignment or some common characteristic. Each of the courts is ruled by an exceptionally powerful or skilled Archfey, and through alliances with other influential fey they control larger territories.

Some of the known courts are the following:


 * Seelie Court: The court of the Seelie fey, more ceremonial and generally less harmful towards mortals. Their leader is Lady Elmenore the Unforgiving.
 * Unseelie Court: Sometimes known as the Shadow Court, it's the court of the Unseelie fey, wilder and with an appreciation for magic forbidden in other courts. Their leader is Potentate Sammanar.
 * Summer Court: A court of defenders of nature, possibly aligned with the Seelie. Their leader is Queen Titania.

Domains
A domain is a territory within the Feywild ruled by an Archfey, their traditional settlement, where they are more powerful. While forest domains are common, a domain can have the appearance that its ruler desires, matching their very essence, and sometimes, their inner feelings and sufferings. Domains can grow or shrink in size depending on the influence of its ruler, and there may be more than one influential Archfey in the domain, especially when it's part of one of the courts.

It is possible to enter an Archfey domain from the Material Plane, but those pathways can be guarded by other fey, like the nymph Arethusa, who protects the access to three different domains in the Frostweald.

Some of the known domains are the following:


 * Burning Vale: Its Archfey is Lady Elmenore, whose title is High Warqueen of the domain.
 * Moontides: Its Archfey has the title of Keeper of the domain.
 * Shademurk Bog: Also known as the Shademurk Forest, its Archfey was Lord Saudor, whose title was Master of the domain.
 * Sun's Shadow: Its Archfey is Potentate Sammanar, whose title is Keeper of the domain.

Pre-Stream
"Vox Machina Origins Volume 2 Issue 4" Grog Strongjaw entered a portal alone to retrieve the actual heart of a Nymph. Nahla was on the other side protecting it. Instead of attacking him, she liked what she saw. After a while, Grog returned looking quite satisfied with himself while holding the item that Vox Machina needed.

Campaign One Arc 3: The Chroma Conclave
Chasing after the Vestiges of Divergence, Vox Machina went into the Feywild, where once was Shademurk forest but now corrupted bog. Kamaljiori told them that of the Vestiges, Fenthras, was lost there during the Calamity, beginning to act as the heart of a cancerous tree, destroying the land around. On their way to the tainted bog, the group was involved in the conflict between the wisher pixies colony and the lycanthrope tribe called Fendir. The last one emerged victoriously and later helped Vox Machina to win the fight against Saundor, which stopped the corruption. Vox Machina retrieved Fenthras and Plane Shifted back to the Whitestone.

Campaign One Arc 4: Taryon Darrington
 During Vox Machina's one-year break, Keyleth, Vax'ildan, Vex'ahlia, Pike, and Tary visited the Feywild and snuck in to watch a performance of the Royal Troupe of the Unseelie Court at the Theater; at the end they apparently saw an "entity" step back into a doorway. Only later did they learn from Percy just how dangerous their trip was, as the Unseelie Court is "the shadow court" and "the thing that the Feywild is a little sketchy about and a little worried about."
