Feywild governance is as spontaneous as the coming existence of fey denizens; with members from the smallest of creatures and wretches, to royalty as grand as King Oberon and Queen Titania. You were born as an important being of court society. Though your powers are as unmatched as an everyday citizen of the plane, there are many other powerful Archfey and Gods hold dominion more than you could ever behold. That being said, you are recognised as a patron of the Feywild. You are a part of the court, Seelie or Unseelie based upon your birthright and hold promise of responsibility over any wards or servants that come to you in exchange for your bidding.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, History
- Tool Proficiencies: One feywild themed musical instrument of your choice.
- Languages: Sylvan and one other language of your choice.
- Equipment: A set of fine clothes with a long cloak, a pouch of Pixie Dust enough for two uses, a crest depicting your symbol and a Feywild Trinket.
To ascertain which court you belong to, roll below on the Feywild Dominions table or discuss with your DM what choice would best influence your character's affiliations.

Being amongst the governance of Fey society, you have connections throughout your Court and potentially beyond the planes. They may be within the home realms or sub planes that belong to the Fey, or maybe you want to spread your name between worlds. Affluent scholars and sages in other places may know of you, and come together to offer you services should you wish to travel between planes. You may be received kindly, offered a guide and a place to rest. Maybe you are feared enough that some regale you in terror, throwing themselves at your feet.
Suggested Characteristics
Minor Archfey may hold dominion over smaller aspects, but are still the backbone of Fey society. As long as their patronage is believed in, their power continues to grow. To become a primary Archfey is a pursuit that these beings may chase extensively.
| d7 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I can be easily won over with tales of adventure. I am excitable and love a good story. |
| 2 | I'm quite used to being fairly overdressed in all occasions. I stand out in the crowd always. |
| 3 | I'm self-centred and love a good entrance for a special occasion. |
| 4 | I like to commandeer a conversation, but will pause for anyone worthy of my time. |
| 5 | I tend to coddle my subjects if I find them in need of assistance. |
| 6 | If someone offers me a gift, I will only accept it if I have something to give in return. |
| 7 | I have a habit to laugh loudly at the smallest of jokes. |
| d6 | Ideal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Insight. Naturally I am drawn to those equally as curious. (Neutral) |
| 2 | Trust. I will never back down from my word, a promise is a promise. (Good) |
| 3 | Loyalty. I must abide by my own practices and put my best foot forward as an example to my followers. (Lawful) |
| 4 | Chaos. The Feywild's true nature is in the lack of order in all fey beings. (Chaotic) |
| 5 | Greed. My followers must listen to me and bow to my will, even at their own detriment. (Evil) |
| 6 | Empower. The more people that believe in my patronage, the stronger the magic within me grows. (Any) |
| d6 | Bond |
|---|---|
| 1 | My followers are my responsibility. I am their shepherd. |
| 2 | My place in fey society is not to be taken for granted. |
| 3 | I was created in this world for a reason. I must find meaning in my life to achieve enlightenment. |
| 4 | I have fellow archfey who I miss terribly and wish to reunite with soon. |
| 5 | My archfey power was given to me by a greater being. I owe them my life and aim to return the favour. |
| 6 | My society has turned their back on me. It pains me but I endeavour to return eventually to prove my worth. |
| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | I would break my kinships with other Archfey in favour of more followers. The more followers I get, the more influence I govern. |
| 2 | If things aren't going my way I get frustrated, my outward appearance warps with my emotions. |
| 3 | I have fallen for one of my followers. If they risk their life for me I would rather throw away my rites as a powerful being. |
| 4 | I favour followers over friends. Followers fear my wrath more. |
| 5 | My mannerisms are alien to other realms outside the Feywild. I may have a tendency to say uncouth things without realising. |
| 6 | If I receive and accept a promise, I must do everything in my power to fulfil it. There are no exceptions. |
As an established minor Fey, a rite of passage would involve influencing followers who are devoted to your hand. You can gain an insight as to which beings would follow down your path and gain your patronage after meeting them. Your Fey affluence is curious and enticing, giving the potential candidate the hunger and desire to know more about your beliefs and teachings.
