Feywild - Tumblr Posts
NPCs in Feywild be like:
Now you have attention deficit forever.
If I ever DM and run out of inspiration for random encouters I'll open tumblr and let my players fight whatever comes here
I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.
Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.
gonna make a guardian oc who just fucks off to the forest to live as a hermit in a little wooden hut growing weird plants and living the ultimate witchy life and has a weird relationship with the fallen living in a cave system nearby where she’s a “hey let me try your food and ill zap some arc energy into this generator for you” type neighbor. she’s been doing this for seven hundred years. her ghost always has flowers in its shell and downloads a bunch of new books for her to read from the cryptarch network
im not even a full grown goblin…. im just a little …gobling…. trying to eat some garliced bread…..
“Walking is an acting that always unfolds within a certain landscape. [Anthropologist] Tim Ingold has used the notion of ‘taskscape’ to denote pragmatic uses of terrain. Whilst walking, we come to intersect with a variety of taskscapes … When somebody walks, they melt into a taskscape not entirely of their own design. Mind is inherently ecological. It is enacted within a certain ecology, and is actually inseparable from its environment. Mind is the sum of intelligent enactments … walking may be approached in an object-oriented manner. Each form of behavior composes an enactment that meshes with a certain ecology, what has [been] called a ‘behavioral field,’ Mind is the inherently relational enactment of set of behavioral disposition which are always already enmeshed with a field. When these dispositions enter ‘fields of sense,’ mind and walking become independent objects in their own right.
To walk is to establish manifold connections with multiplicities. The impulse to walk corresponds with a deeply rooted impulse to lose ourselves within a landscape, and ecology of openness. At any given moment, we walk a thin line between picking out a certain aspect, a specific site of concentrated desire or completely losing our sense of self. There is a gap between linguistic, theoretical representation, and actual feeling. No atomistic, one-piece notion will do when confronting the phenomenon of walking. Voluntary mobility is something that cannot be rationalized or traced back to rational reflection … The manifold, humming world we encounter never forms a complete whole. Neither perception nor its ecology from a coherent, holistic structure. Rather, both are dissected into an infinity of spatio-temporal world-slices. Practice, including the practice of walking, is a partial revelation, a becoming-alive that breaks into our interiority like a bolt of lightning that strikes down unsuspecting bathers. On other occasions, practice is more akin to the spreading of some as yet undefined sensation, filling our bodies with a certain atmosphere.”
Adam Lovasz, from “Walking as Intelligent Enactment: A New Realist Approach,” Open Philosophy (vol. 2, no. 1, January 2019)
Oberon for the lovley lovley @zenithzyl!
We've done some wild stuff with the feywild in our campaign (because it's technically still Ravenloft based) And by far my favorite design is Oberon!
No spoilers for whichlight or for the Carnival please! Even though we've strayed from canon, I still haven't seen alot of NPCS and locations yet. (like Yon)
Isolde doodle from a little while ago!

commission for sunsetafterrain; a wintery eladrin that became the fey goddess of life and health.
Círdan Coberell
Drow Warlock
Poster child for don’t go walking in the woods alone.
He and his family are part of a small group of dark elves who escaped from the underdark and started their own little village. Except he decided to leave bc adventure and got hopelessly lost in the feywild. But now, he’s very busy serving his lovely little archfey patron who may or may not be clinically insane. But it’s fine because along the way he’s gonna get so many guys (sort of. Maybe. Kinda. Hopefully?)
This was another prototype sketch for a firbolg lawful evil Druid character for a campaign that never happened because everyone I played with sucked. Anyways, his name was pilum murialis. The nettle in the darkness or thorn in the darkness. His outfit was made from the silk of giant spiders in the fey wilds, and given its connection to strong fey magic, the wings unfold when strong magic is nearby. Normally it looks like a kind of poncho wrapped up. He wears flexible leather thigh high leggings?? Leg warmers?? And forearm length arm warmers?? And like a leather vest/tank top. I wanted him to look sleek as he primarily acts as an assassin killing humans and others that threaten the green. He doesn’t kill children tho, as children can learn to respect and honor the green. Their parents, not to much.
The second sketch, the wings are open. My background for him was that he was born on Walpurgis night, which is an ill omen to the firbolg (made it up entirely) because the firbolgs born on those nights are clad in raven fur, and are generally evil natured. Which as a Druid in the firbolg community that’s a no no. So on those nights a fey being comes, to whisk those children away to the fey wild to be trained as guardians of the green. They are given a special seed from the fey tree (like the world tree, it’s the magical epicenter for the fey wild and keeps the veil that separates it in place, also completely made up!) this seed then grows into a weapon that can change form, a halberd/spear form with a petrified wood blade, a staff, a sword with hard thorn spikes that rip and tear and later apply poison, and a bow with arrows that sprout from the thorns he breaks off the bow (the bow string is giant spider silk, everything that lives on the tree becomes a part of it in a way. Like king from seven deadly sins who inspired this weapon!) he never received a name from his parents and has never met them. His name came from the fey mother, she raises all the firbolg children. So with no connection to his people or anyone aside from the fey mother and the green, he follows out his orders with no hesitation
This is Pilum Murialis growing his fey tree weapon. I wanted him to look more predatory, not like the more deer looking firbolg I’ve seen. He has fangs, I just didn’t draw any open mouth sketches yet, I wanted him to have an apathetic expression like he just doesn’t care. He lives for the mission of keeping the green safe and the humans out of the fey wild. In my brain hole I decided to make a unicorn the ruler of the fey wild or at least a certain part of it. This unicorn has become ill from the humans destroying so much of the forests, he was tasked with the mission of killing the humans around the fey wild portals by the fey mother, doing so would help nature recover and the unicorn would regain his strength. (The dm had talked about the campaign taking place in some area where humans and other races had begun to industrialize, and they were destroying huge swathes of forest to lay train tracks to haul off the natural resources and what not. It was like a huge city building thing and all the pollution had started to poison nature. The firbolg clans had gotten sick as well and started to retreat further and further into the forests as they couldn’t handle all of those humans) I had decided that the fey wild kind of mirrored the world, not exactly but if a major change happened the fey wild would also be changed. And that’s what was causing the unicorn to become sickly and weak. I really would have liked to play with him and try out a completely evil character with a goal. But that never happened
