[QUOTE="Mentat55, post: 5016037, member: 14840"] Well, the Feywild and Shadowfell are basically reflections of the Material Plane (what they call "the world"). When they say eladrin build on the edge of the Feywild, they're really somewhere where the boundary between the world and the Feywild is thin, so creatures, and even whole cities, can transition from one to another. They are connected, in a sense, but in all cases, you can't travel to the Feywild like you'd travel to the next town, or even across the sea. You still need plane-shifting magic. Usually that is supplied by rituals or magic items. Sometimes it involves fixed portals. And sometimes it is magic inherent to the two planes, that "connects" them in particular places, at particular times. The Feywild and Shadowfell are something of parallel worlds. There are some correspondences between a particular location in the real world, and that location in the Feywild or Shadowfell, but the correspondences are not one-to-one and are heavily influenced by the plane in question. That probably doesn't clear anything up. I am trying to think of a good analogy, but I am failing right now. I know someone else will post with a good analogy soon. [/QUOTE]
