Manual of the Planes Excerpt: Feywild

The latest excerpt is up, you can read it here. The two most interesting aspects of the article for me were the discussion of the archfey and the picture of the looming treant. Very cool.

Its nice to see that old favorite Baba Yaga making it to 4e. I look forward to seeing her "Court of Stars" article!

Pretty interesting including the Archfey, just wish it said something about residuum in the Feywild.

Why? I'd assume it's about the same as residuum on the Prime Material. Crystallized magic, compact form of wealth for the unbelievably rich, etc.

Well I recall there was something mentioned about residuum being more plentiful in the Feywild, so being a magical realm was thinking it might have something on it. It may in the full section of the book, but the excerpt could have teased it, if it does.

How it works on the PM and Feywild should be the same, but there should be a bit more regulations on it in the Feywild right?

I would just hate to think one of the few things I like about 4th is left to rot and never mentioned again anywhere....

Sorry, it's not mentioned anywhere.

On a sidenote, there is a lot about the Court of Stars, which is absolutely awesome (IMO).

Feywild is an interesting place for sure.

Not bad. I'm still happy I made my own Feywild though. It suits my tastes better.

Although I wish they would have some fluff that demonstrates exactly how the Eladrin are enigmatic. So far they keep on saying that they're amoral and enigmatic but we don't really see any real indication of this.

I think you may be thinking of the references to the residuum storms on the Feywild or how residuum dust coats many of the buildings of Mithrendain (Dragon 366).

Baba Yaga, eh? Hm.... I may have to adjust things a little.

Baba Yaga is one of the gods in my campaign (she is one of the only two beings from the old campaign that physically found her way into this one).

I'm really looking forward to reading MotP.... When's the release date on it again?

After that sales-pitch for adventuring n the Feywild, one of my players has a hard time convincing himself why his eladrin wizard even bothered to visit the "normal" world. He thinks there is just a bit too much hype and salesmansnhip here.
