Who are the Archfey? Basically Feywild, ep.4

Описание: Still experimenting with camera and layout settings, I know things might work better visually, and we're slowly getting there!



Basically Feywild, Episode 4
Now that we know about the Fey Courts we should take a look at their most important representatives - the Archfey.
Beings of immense power, demi-gods, or clever tricksters that amassed power in some sort of mystical way? How many Archfey do we know about? Who is Tiandra and why is the Prince of Frost so sad all the time? Is killing an innocent person evil for an Archfey, and is there even such a thing as innocence?


In this episode I will talk about Archfey in 5e and 4e, using examples from various books and resources. I'm taking the discussion on a meta-level by concentrating on Feywild Orange/Blue morality and fusing it together with another concept of Fey being strictly connected with words and languages. In the last part of the video I'm talking about some exemplar Archfey and their lore to point out that there are many different approaches to the topic.

Chapters for this episode are outlined below in the description.

What is Basically Feywild?

In this series you'll find regular, bite-sized chunks of knowledge about the fey. Where is the Feywild? Or when is it? Are pixies and hags relatives? Is a bargain with the Fey a good decision? How to use your own folklore to create Fey that will be unique to your game?
Fair warning: This is fan content. We're not going to be canonical here. This series is meant to inspire you and give you ideas on how you can incorporate this Wonderland into your game. This is not an official rules rehearsal :)
Feywild is a plane in the D&D multiverse, but I see it as a universal land of the strange and uncanny, so disregarding if you are a player or a GM, you might find this series interesting.

Hi, I am Timor Sol, and I create stuff for TTRPG, especially for D&D 5e. I have a strong passion for both learning and sharing, and since there's a need for Feywild content - here I am. I've read dozens of books on the Fey, from earlier edition books, through monster compendiums and bestiaries, and ending on the unofficial fan-content and 'simple' common literature. And now I want to share. I'm going to start with basics and guide you towards the more interesting, crazy parts of the Feywild. Just don't go crazy ;)
