D&D 5E Witchlight Easter egg hunt and speculation thread.

[Demetrios1453]

One Easter egg I noticed are the three guides to the various realms of Prismeer: a small scarecrow, a sentient oil can, and a dandelion - references to the Scarecrow, Tin Man ( who needed to be oiled continuously), and the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz...

Thats awesome.

I flipped through it when I was in the mall today. I liked most everything I saw, but the bland new race section is just so poor I just have no desire to support it for that alone.

Sure, which is just odd to me. I mean TH White is the oldest use of the term I can find, and the Dresden Files gives that as Mabd’s title.

Could just be they wanted to use a term that wasn’t in use by other fantasy properties.

Queen of Air and Darkness is from an A.E. Housman poem from 1922 and definitely in the public domain; anyone can use it.

Planar you say?

I like the fact that they have a Dragon with an Inn on it's back. Seems like something outta Fizbans!

Chapter 3 - Creating a Domain of Delight is short but well done, definitely enough tables to provide you with a creative foundation to springboard off from. At the end, on the Domain Visitors table is mention of an arcanoloth searching for one of the Books of Keeping – which seemed odd, unless the Queen of Air and Darkness is known for binding yugoloths?

It could be A'kin the Friendly Fiend, an Arcanoloth shopkeeper from Sigil...

I think the arcanoloth may be a reference to @Shemeska from Planescape - there was also a poster here/on the Paizo forums who used this avatar and was involved with mostly Planescape (and I believe they did some writing for Pathfinder, mostly about Yugoloths & Daemons).

Of course the Witchlight carnival is directly connected to the other carnival in the Domains of Dread. Someday they shall meet again.

 

[Henadic Theologian]

Well they both are Shadar-Kai.

It might have been mentioned in one of RA Salvatore's 5e novels, given Drizzt has been to Gloomwrought

The biggest, most shocking Easter egg so far, NPCs from Eberron and Taldorei in Exandria. Like Exandria isn't walled off from the multiverse like Eberron is, how did she, the one from Eberron get to Prismeer?
