I'm busy brewing a short Feywild campaign and I'm looking for a few shortcuts. I want the campaign to have a 'Wizard of Oz' feel (it's for my daughter) so I would rather have some definitive locations (unlike the current trend).
Does anyone know if any of the pre-5e materials had maps of key places in the Feywild. I'm especially looking for plans of the cities Astrazalian or Shinalaestra, and also places like Castle Darroch. I have Heroes of the Feywild (4E) but it only has a general (continent) map of the entire (?) Feywild. I'd be appreciative if you can guide me to any 3rd party materials that have mapped these areas as well. I'd even be happy if you could help me find a map of a good Sylvan city I could use - strangely, I am much more comfortable basing my cities off of a medieval template even though I love fantasy.
To let you know, I also have 'Into Wonderland', 'Domains of Delight' and, of course, 'The Wild Beyond the Witchlight'.
Wild Beyond the Witchlight has town maps, but if you're looking for larger cities, you could always make your own with Inkarnate or other websites. I'm not too sure about official pre-5e Feywild maps, but I did know of the large 4e Feywild map (which, by the way, I do not think covers the entire Feywild). If you're not into homebrewing Feywild locations, there might be some stuff on DMs Guild, but I'm not too sure.
Separately, I'm also running a Feywild campaign but in a homebrew kingdom. Would like to know what other things you've put into your campaign, it sounds interesting.

I'm running it for my daughter and so wanted it to have a 'Wizard of Oz' feel. I think the older lore lends itself to that feeling a little more than the looser 5e stuff, so I'm adapting stuff I had from 4E.
My daughter's character (an Eldarin Circle of the Moon Druid) has been plagued by nightmares of a malevolence growing in the Feywild (it will turn out to be a Shadowfell incursion) and so sets out to find out what it is and how to stop it. I've used some classic characters like Swanmays (warrior maidens who work for Titania and can turn into Giant Swans), The Prince of Frost and the Sisters of Lament (Winter Fey) - they have a great, tragic background that I think will work really well for RPing.
I want the party to head to Astrazalian and have some urban-ish adventures to get information, then head to an Archfey's court and build influence through tasks and building alliances, in order to gain an audience and get some MacGuffin to help stop the incursion.
That's my general outline so far - it's a fairly straight forward run but it is her first adventure and I am still figuring out what she enjoys.
Cool plot! My Feywild campaign plot is super simple because I'm running it for absolute beginners.
Here's the "blurb" that I've given my players:
To clear their city's awful reputation of "laziness", a group of the king's warriors must leave the comfort of the city of Mossbottom and venture into the mystical and beautiful wilderness of the Feywild to stop four mysterious villains who have made a pact to overthrow the monarchy and share the kingdom amongst themselves.
The four villains are each eladrin of different seasons, conquering their own season's mini-kingdom and "amplifying" the season's traits - for example, the autumn kingdom's winds have become so strong that if you're moving against the wind you have only half your speed, and if you're going with the wind you get double speed. In the autumn kingdom, you also have disadvantage on Perception checks for sight, because leaves are constantly flying into your face. Meanwhile, in the spring kingdom, the flowers and plants have grown and bloomed so much that the entire kingdom is overgrown and difficult to traverse.

Sounds like it will be fun - lots of variety.
