Into the Feywild - The Wild Beyond the Witchlight

Into the Feywild. This Dungeons & Dragons adventure begins in a world of your choosing-perhaps a world of your own creation-then ventures into the Feywild. Also known as the Plane of Faerie, the Feywild is a place of wonder and whimsy ruled by unfettered emotion.

The carnival owners are a pair of shadar-kai (elves native to the Shadowfell) named Mister Witch and Mister Light, who can help or hinder the characters' efforts to reach Prismeer.

You choose which hook to use. Both hooks are described in "Beginning the Adventure," later in this introduction. Chapter 1 describes the Witchlight Carnival.
