Shadowfell : Open Grave :: Feywild : ???

If the title doesn't explain it all, has anyone heard anything about a future book that details creatures from the Feywild in a similar fashion that Open Grave details creatures (the undead) from the Shadowfell? If so, what would be included (besides Eladrin)? Satyrs, pixies, sprites, centaurs, etc?

Nothing so far, but it will probably happen since there is definitely a want for it from the community as for what be in it?

Well, I imagine we will have some Archfey in it, more Gnomes, Eladrin, Fomorians, Quicklings, lots of classic Fey from folklore remade for it (there is enough to fill a whole bunch of books).

I imagine we will also get the assortment of encounters, fluff, probably artificats, maybe some PC/NPC-oriented thing (like Grafts in Open Grave) and such.

I started a thread asking for a Fey book over on Wizards. 3e didn't have one, and we all ready have several ones in the 4e.

I can see several things in there. Psychology of fae (something a challenge to do). Lairs (Fantastical locales), monsters. I'd love to see some rules about faeries deal-making/hijinx. Information on Fomorians would be very useful.

Not to mention skill challenges for escaping a faerie dance, a riddle contest (like Rumplestiltskin), and getting information out of a tricky fae.

Not to mention: The Wild Hunt.

Oh! We so need a fully-done local of a Troll/Fey/Goblin (Whatever you call it)-Market. It has become in more modern years a fairly fun, interesting and known part of Feyfolk so got to see it get done.

I would personally also like to see some stuff dealing with Fey in normal World, urban cities.

I agree, Rechan, stuff dealing with Fey-deals, and such be great. The Wild Hunt be awesome too, hmm... I wonder what form it would take, a single monster, a throng, a variety of beings cast as "The Wild Hunt".

I have forgotten, Baba Yuga hasn't been done yet right? She definitely needs to be made as a Archfey.

Dinosaurs. Like, all of them.

Lots of animals too.

Also, [if there is a supreme being, and he/she can talk to people at wotc] TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Hollow World: Hollow World Campaign Set [NOTE: feywild doesn't have to be hollow; I'm talking about the whole 'primitive man and a bunch of dinosaurs in a forgotten, strange world' theme]. I'm totally fine if there's lots of forests, elves, and faeries included.

Since many real world legends and myths about fey mention a weakness towards iron, I think it would be cool to have weapons made from ivory, wood, and stone type stuff.

Wild magic [from 2E] could fit too.

And this one has been spoken of in manual of the planes Dungeons & Dragons Archive: The Isle of Dread


The following artwork evokes thoughts of the feywild [at least in my mind]; the flavor text describing the book fits the feywild [at least in my mind].
TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Hollow World: Sons of Azca
TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Hollow World: Nightwail
TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Gazetteer: The Atruaghin Clans
TSR Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Creature Crucible: Tall Tales of the Wee Folk
Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Mystery of the Snow Pearls
Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Where Chaos Reigns
Dungeons & Dragons Archive: The Tree of Life
Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Drums on Fire Mountain
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Forgotten Realms: Maztica Campaign Set
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Forgotten Realms: Endless Armies
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Archive: Forgotten Realms: The Jungles of Chult

She is mentioned as an Arch Fey in the MotP - You can be sure we get stats on her at some point.

Hopefully with her hut as well... Hmm, I wonder what it would take its form as? A creature/mount, a magical item, or simply part of Baba Yuga stats. I imagine her mortar will be a magical item.

WotC just previewed the Practical Guide to Faeries. It has much of what you ask for, even if it seems much more like a fluff book than an actual sourcebook.

That and you know, that is pretty much a Disneyfied version of Fey. Not the Celtic, Slavic angle that WoTC is going with for their Fey and Feywild.

I haven't heard anything solid, but I want it.
