[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 5211834, member: 39394"] It seems like the role of the Feywild in Darksun is not so much "magical desert" or "natural world turned up to 11" but more "you can't get there by just plain walking". That is, the Feywild is the place for fortresses that only appear for one night out of the year and then vanish again. The Feywild is the place for the oasis that you can only get to if you follow a specific spiral pattern into it. Head straight there and you find nothing but empty desert. The Feywild is the monument to a lost age sticking out of the desert that only appears in the midst of the most terrible of lightning storms. You get the idea. I can buy into the Feywild as the common mechanic for Athasian "hidden realms". It's a pretty cool concept and something that I think you genuinely _can't_ do with bog-standard Athasian desert. No matter how terrible the deserts of Athas are, they are still physical places in the real world. If you can keep putting one foot in front of the other and going in a straight line, you can always get to a specific place within them. Not so with the Feywild. [/QUOTE]
