The Feywild

The Feywild is an odd place. It looks very similar to anyone who looks at a map of Earth, but it ISN'T Earth, I promise. Really.

Okay it kind of is. The Feywild of Nexus is every fantastical earthly story, including myths, religions, folklore, urban legends, and others. It's a lot of fun.

Despite the fact that I've built it in this very specific way, it's actually a separate universe from the rest of Nexus, just as the Shadowfell is. It just happens that the Feywild I look at the most is this very specific NotEarth, called Oerth. Say it out loud, you'll get it.

Now onto actual setting information. It is the Shade of the Positive Energy Plane, and connected to the Elemental Shadow, the Shade of the Elemental Chaos. It behaves as per the Prime Material, even mapping to it more-or-less world for world, except the forces of life are so much stronger there.

It's natural inhabitants are called Vivids; Creatures so infused with life energies that their Crystals shatter throughout their bodies, melting into it. Basically, a Vivid's entire body has the properties of a Crystal. In the Era Before Time, the Fey of Arcadia invaded this space and harnessed it better than the Vivids could, becoming more common than the Vivids themselves, who remain in the Feywild almost like phantoms; Pureblood Vivids are almost as rare as animals crafted from gum and diamond dust who've learned how to speak and read Latin and Japanese, but nothing else. The only ones left are so old as to rival and dwarf many gods in power, and many of them are Idols themselves. All other Vivids have more Fey blood than Vivid blood, and are much closer to Elves than their ancestors.
