You are an agent of a faction from the Feywild in the service of an Archfey, one of the courts or some other fey faction. The reason for your travels could be to observe someone or something, or the completion of some task in this world.
Most characters with this background are native to the Feywild, but this is not a requirement. You could be a planar traveller who got lost in the Feywild, or a Warlock who, after making a pact with Archfey, now serve to further their influence in this world.
- Skill Proficiencies: Choice of two: Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Arcana, Investigation, Nature, Insight, Perception, Survival, Deception, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion
- Languages: Sylvan plus one other of your choice or either Abyssal, Draconic, Elvish, Giant, Gnomish, or Goblin.
- Equipment: A signet ring displaying the crest of your court, a set of traveler's clothes, three trinkets (each determined by rolling on the Feywild Trinkets table or at DM discretion), and a pouch containing 15gp.
You were transformed in some small way by your stay in the Feywild and gained a fey mark, determined by rolling on the Fey Mark table or choose based on what fits character best. Fey Mark is for roleplay/flavor purposes.
| d8 | Fey Mark |
|---|---|
| 1 | Your eyes swirl with iridescent colors. |
| 2 | You have a sweet scent, like that of nectar or honey |
| 3 | You have nature themed tattoos covering your body with a glittery shine |
| 4 | You have small non-functional butterfly or dragonfly wings on your back |
| 5 | Your skin sparkles in moonlight. |
| 6 | Flowers either bloom or wilt (your choice) in your presence. |
| 7 | Your hair is made of vines or brambles and grows back to normal length within 1 hour of being cut |
| 8 | You have a tail like that of a dog or another animal. |
You are in frequent contact and have good standing with denizens of the Feywild allowing you to have a psychic link with a contact in that plain. This contact is part of the same fey faction as you, it could be the leader or just another member.
During a long rest you can enter a trance-like state and psychically communicate with your contact. Your contact can also choose to contact you while you are resting. During the trance, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. Depending on who your contact is and what faction you are a member of, you can request help or guidance, or be given orders that help further your faction's cause.
Additionally, in any realm there are frequently eyes of the Fey folk watching. Once per long rest you may discretely gain various information about your current area and its people and possibly your targets from the local faeries. This information is usually more vague and sometimes misleading.
Your mannerisms and knowledge of fey customs are recognized by natives of the Feywild, who see you as one of their own. Because of this, friendly Fey creatures are inclined to come to your aid if you are lost or need help within the Feywild.
