Maybe I am just being forgetful. But can you refresh my memory what that is?
Rumor has it that Ravaasta's were once demons called Arcanoloths, but they got booted out of the Abyss for being to conniving. They are a race of dealmakers and plotters (and merchants!) that sell their services to anyone, aiming for profit and chaos.
Sounds fun to me.

So what are their powers like?
On a related note, ravaasta is a new D&D term, correct? I can't find any references to it anywhere else.

I think they are new, yes, I do not recall seeing the name before.
Power-wise, they some very interesting stuff, amongst other a charm power called bind, that gives the victim the choice between being dominated or getting some ongoing psychic damage. They also get another power that enables the Raavasta to redirect attacks to a creature it is affected by the bind power.

Appearance stays the same? DMs using 4E who wants Yugoloths back just rename it to Arcanoloth... hope there's finally a mini for it!
About what the factions are more represented, Doomguards and Mercykillers have one thing in common: they have miniatures of it. Expect Harmonium in the near future.

The great town/citygate map in P1 was a major reason I decided to get the module...
I can't say that I agree with your reasoning, but on a 1-10 versatility scale I am guessing it's about a 3. More like a 7 if you use it only for drow cities. (there is a big altar of Lolth on it)

I just like it a lot. Reading about it reminds me of a mixture of the court of the French Kings and the Game of the Tsurani Lords (Feist), with all the deceptions, backstabbing etc, just on steroids. IMO a perfect fit for the mischievous fey.

Jack99, thanks for all this info. I really appreciate it. You've just passed Jack37 on the "Best Jack List."
Giev XP!
(Just kidding, I am only happy to be able to help, for once. It's rare that we get scoops over here)

Who are some of the named Archfey of the Court of Stars?
Tiandra the Summer Queen, The Prince of Frost, Green Lord Oran, Scamander, Cat Lord, Monkey King, Baba Yaga, Hyrsam the Satyr Prince are some of those mentioned. The first three each get a paragraph.
Quote:
And what's the Shadowfell equivalent of the Archfey, are they the Dark Lords?
I guess. It's not state explicitly.
Quote:
What do they have on the Anomalous Planes like the Far Realm and the Plane of Dreams?
Not much. Mostly trying to convey their weirdness (they each barely get a page), although the Plane of Dreams does come with some pointers as to who and what uses it regularly, and why.

Now that's amusing that they have the Monkey King (Sun Wu Kong in Chinese, Son Goku in Japanese) of Chinese Mythology and Journey to the West among one of the Archfey.
I was under the impression they were going to have Titania and Oberron, made famous by Shakespeare as the monarchs of the Fey, at least as they mentioned it in Worlds & Monsters.

Maybe they're into Dragon Ball
I'll add Titania and Oberron too. There's always space for good stories.
