I have an idea for a character who originated from The Feywilds. I was wondering if The Faywilds could be a Favored Terrain for a Ranger? And if not what Favored Terrain could I justify for my character instead?
Edit: The Feywilds is their home plane and are new to the Prime Material Plane.
The Feywild is a different plane of existence rather than a type of terrain. I guess Forest would be a fitting type of terrain for the Feywild as it is renown for its colourful forests.
Other planes have multiple terrain types, if you have a specific terrain type as your favoured terrain you should be able to use it whether on the prime material or in the beast lands or the feywyld (etc) as long as it matches up. The danger of blurring the ability as you describe is that if allowed another ranger could choose prime material plane and have every terrain on the planet as favoured terrain.
I agree, the terrain of the Feywild likely varies quite a bit, even if in most people's minds it's predominantly forest. Just try and work out what their home area of the Feywild looks like, and choose the appropriate terrain choice from the list in the class description(which I believe is the same list used for Monsters to describe where they most frequently appear).
Depending on where you find yourself in the Fayewild, I'd say favored terrain would still apply when relevant. I mean, just because you live by some mountains doesn't mean you know much about mountain survival, so I wouldn't count an entire plane like the Fayewild as one type by itself.

Thank you for all your help!
