While exploring the untamed wilds of the Moonshae Isles, you stumble across a shimmering portal bathed in a sunbeam that filters through the canopy above. On the other side lies Lorwyn—a whimsical realm of eternal daylight, wandering giants, mischievous faeries, and living incarnations of nature itself.
Releasing on D&D Beyond on November 18, Lorwyn: First Light helps you expand your Forgotten Realms adventures with new Fey-inspired character options and monsters from a new Domain of Delight in the Feywild called Lorwyn-Shadowmoor.
You can purchase this D&D Beyond exclusive digital supplement as part of the Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle.
Inside, you’ll find:
- 2 backgrounds
- 2 feats
- 2 magic items
- 8 monsters
- 2 new species, and advice for playing 8 additional species in the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor setting
- Two adventure examples and a map appropriate for both
This new content can be used to represent heroic characters or mischievous creatures who hail from the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor setting.
These creatures and characters may travel to the Forgotten Realms via fey crossings. Similarly, Forgotten Realms-based characters can travel to Lorwyn-Shadowmoor for the adventures included in the supplement—or those of your own devising!
What is Lorwyn-Shadowmoor?
Drawing inspiration from Celtic folklore, the domain of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor originated as a plane in the multiverse of the Magic: The Gathering.

Posted Sep 27, 2025The cover art looks awesome, makes me hope that all the playable Fey species come back in this one. Satyrs and fairies look likely, but if centaurs are in this one I'd be such a happy camper!

Posted Sep 27, 2025MTG shoehorned into the Realms could be a disaster but I'll reserve judgment until I read it.

Posted Sep 27, 2025Look, I'll be the first to say that overall, D&D 5.5 is a bit cleaner and easier to run (albeit lacking substantially in flavor and ways to experiment). That being said, I'm really tired of getting fed table scraps.
2 whole species/races/whatever you want to call them? That's just insulting. And what is advice? Is it an actually stats? Or just "We didn't feel like doing the work to make these, so just homebrew with some advice on how by ripping stuff from 2024 and 2014?" The incompetence is just so brazen.
I hate to be the "Pathfinder is so much better guy,' especially when they're two different games with vastly different philosophies, but come on! While D&D drip-feeds the community 2 whole species (3 depending on how they implement Dhampir), Pathfinder dropped 4-5. That's not to mention 4 brand new classes, a whole host of feats, items, classes, and none of this interfered with adventure publication! Oh, and did I forget to mention? For 99% percent of character creation options (just not stuff in specific campaigns, if memory serves), you don't have to pay a dime to use it.
I'm not saying you need to hate D&D, or play Pathfinder 2e- I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum. What I'm just saying is that I'm getting really tired of WOTC resting on its laurels because it knows it can, and legitimately not giving an effort to engage its audience. You can only play the same 4 options of a class for so long before it gets boring, and that's assuming they're well made to start with.

Posted Sep 27, 2025Will this open the ability to write for Lorwyn-Shadowmoor on the DMs guild? I love seeing more MTG content and would love to produce something for this setting and am still disappointed you never did that for Eldraine.

Posted Sep 27, 2025Oh man, I was really hoping for a big, bulky setting book like Theros or Eberron to sink my teeth in for a Feywild setting. Digital only is a huge disappointment to me, as I don’t use such content at my table.
Could we get a PDF?

Posted Sep 27, 2025I am SO happy to finally have more Feywild and MTG crossover content !!! .. and yet so sad to see this is a digital only release with (based on the above description) very little lore.

Posted Sep 27, 2025Can somebody explain it to me how MTG setting is being sold as part of the Forgotten Realms setting bundle? This is worse than lazy...

Posted Sep 27, 2025Like the Astarion and Netheril 'expansions' you'll be able to buy them on the marketplace individually as well for $15 each.
