The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is D&D's next big adventure storyline that brings the wicked whimsy of the Feywild to fifth edition for the first time.

The recent Unearthed Arcana, Folk of the Feywild, contained the fairy, hobgoblin of the Feywild, owlfolk, and rabbitfolk. UA is usually a good preview of what's in upcoming D&D books.

Curriculum of Chaos is an upcoming D&D release set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Strixhaven -- a brand new MtG set only just launched.

Strixhaven is a school of mages on the plane of Arcavios, an elite university with five rival colleges founded by dragons: Silverquill (eloquence), Prismari (elemental arts), Witherbloom (life and death), Lorehold (archaeomancy), and Quandrix (numeromancy). You can read more about the M:tG set here.

You will be able to tune into WotC's streamed event D&D Live on July 16 and 17 for details on both, including new character options, monsters, mechanics, story hooks, and more!

[Marandahir]

The Chinese elements are ways of MOTION.

Soil and Space are the same thing, because they are both MOTIONLESS, and serve as an empty place within which the other four elements move.

This aspect of Soil as motionless, is sometimes called Void, Place, Emptiness, Nothingness, Nirvana, etcetera.

Note that the I-Ching itself identifies the Tree Motion as Wind, because they have the same Motion: both trees and gas expand outward encompassing all else within.

Japan has an elemental tradition that synthesizes Dao and Hellentistic as: Water, Fire, Air (Tree), Earth (Metal), and Void.

As someone who studies, plants, grows, cuts, and manages trees for a living, I can assure you that either (a) you're oversimplifying the I-Ching's understanding of Tree Motion, or (b) The I-Ching is wrong about Tree Motion.

Trees expand outward but they also compress inward. They grow but they also retrench. They pump air and water and nutrients from dying lifeforms in the the soil through their vessels using pressurized siphons. They compress, tense, and torque against loading forces yet are flexible and malleable to regrow. They seal injuries of decay but have powerful chemical healing functions as well. They are far more complicated than people give them credit.

Fey Adventure has broken 200 at amazon.

Oh! and the back cover from Amazon!

It says,
Once every eight years the fantastic Witchlight Carnival touches down on your world, bringing joy to one settlement after the next. It's owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light, know how to put on a good show. But there's more to this magical extravaganza than meets the eye!

The carnival is a gateway to a fantastic Feywild domain unlike anything found on the Material Plane. Time has not been kind to this realm, however, and the dark days lie ahead unless someone can thwart the dastardly schemes of the Hourglass Coven.

The Wild Beyond the Witchlight takes adventureres from the Witchlight Carnival to Primeer (sp?) a Feywild domain of delight. This book comes with a poster map that shows the carnival on one side and the Prismeer on the other.

That suggests that James Wyatt’s book is a sequel adventure going from 8-15th a level a la The Rise of Tiamat and Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

People always knee jerking to the hate... everybody just relax.

That suggests that James Wyatt’s book is a sequel adventure going from 8-15th a level a la The Rise of Tiamat and Dungeon of the Mad Mage.

Or that they just decided that it would work fine as a 1 - 8 level adventure.

(Even with this news, I'm still of the opinion that the Wyatt book will be a full-fledged monster book in the mold of Volo's).

I assume that the space saved will be used for setting info on the Feywild as a whole and for Feywild character options.

A poster map of the carnival sounds pretty useful to me, most campaigns I run will visit a carnival at some point.
