[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8506064, member: 2209"] Don't sweat it too much, go with something you think would be fun. You can base it off of something that you are familiar with, maybe Jonathan Strange and Mister Norrel's Elf concept. Maybe something like out of [URL='https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/50010/Changeling-The-Lost?affiliate_id=17596']Changeling the Lost[/URL]. Maybe the fairy godmother from Disney's Cinderella, either straight or a more dark interpretation (that was the case for a warlock fellow PC in a 5e Disney Princess themed game I played in). Maybe Frey or Freyja the Vanir fertility/magic/warrior elven patrons from Norse mythology. [URL='https://christmas-specials.fandom.com/wiki/Heat_Miser']Heat Miser[/URL] or [URL='https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Snow_Miser']Cold Miser[/URL] could be great. Either add them in straight or modify them to be bit more D&D-ish. Forgotten Realms has Tyr as the god from Norse Mythology slightly modified, and you could use that as a model, or take Lathander who is based on Apollo, but a bit more obscured as to his origin. You can come up with a themed original archfey. Pick a fun aspect theme and go with that as your base. You might have patron specific mechanics you work out and suggest to the DM, or not. It is an opportunity for some creativity and choice on your end, just think about if something seems like it would be fun given the D&D campaign context and how you see your character interacting with the fey or your charachter's characterization and thematics.
