[QUOTE="Loincloth of Armour, post: 4268018, member: 28201"] Pretty much. The Feywild is the world crisper and sharper. The waters are not just blue, but crystal blue, almost painful to look at. The wind is bracing, the sharpness of its breath in your nose and lungs almost like that of a knife. Mountains appear higher, the peaks rockier, more jagged. A patch of green grass is like an emerald ocean. A field of flowers so colourful it brings tears to the eye. There is a [i]wildness[/i] to the Feywild that kind of awes you... even as the horrors there chill your very soul. It is the world as the world could be: a place of beauty so striking that it hurts... and a place of terrors that leaves you quivering. It is the land of dreams and of nightmares both. The Shadowfell is the world seen on a dark, cloudly, miserable day. It is gloomy, macabre, deadening. Things are muted, emotions repressed, and dreams appear worthless. Things around you are [i]old[/i], decrepit, and falling victim to death. It is a land where all the great things have already happened, and there is nothing to the future but decay and death. It is a land not of hope, but of despair. The dead linger here, bemoaning their lives lost before they fade from knowledge. Those who travel in the Shadowfell feel the ever-present shadow of Death upon them. It may not strike now, but it is there, it is present, and it will --one day-- come to collect. So the two are mirrors to the 'real world' of the material plane. When in the Feywild, one should feel [b][i]Alive![/i][/b] When visiting the Shadowfell, one should feel like they are awaiting Death's inevitable embrace. [/QUOTE]
