D&D 5E So Much Witchlight Art!

During a video this weekend, WotC's Chris Perkins, Ari Levitch and Kate Irwin took a look a The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. You can watch the video below, but if you can't, EN World member @darjr has kindly collated a bunch of screenshots of the incredible variety of art within, along with some notes.

• The Feywild is a brighter reflection of the world like the Shadowfell is dark one. Prismeer is an archetypal domain.
• It's very easy to get lost. Time and space can bend or twist.
• No combat is required.
• Rules of the feywild include rules of reciprocity and ownership.
• Archfey Zybilna (sp?) is missing, so this domain of delight has splintered into Hither, Thither, and Yon.
• The carnival is a gateway to a plan of emotion, the feywild.
• More whimsical nature with a twist of wikedness. Inspiration, Willy Wonka, James and the Giant Peach.
• All the maps are by Will Doyle and Stacey Allan who worked closely early on with Chris Perkins.

I mean that's cool, I'm not saying mine is the only way, just that it's potentially interesting space to explore.

I get it too, even if I dint agree with you in this issue. Look in the bright side, it means they are not near the end of 5e by any means. I’d think character options would be far more wild and possibly game breaking.

The Gaming Gang did a full flip thru the entire book on youtube if anyone is interested. Fun stuff.
Obviously, there are SPOILERS so beware.

He clearly didn’t see any of the previews before looking through that book. His genuine surprise was delightful to see!

Also, I noticed that one of the cards in the back is for Alagarthas the Elf Prince. He previously appeared in Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, one of the D&D Next playtest adventures. He’s the son of King Melandrach of the Misty Forest. His brother was Neronvain. I guess Alagarthas survived his encounter with Chuth and ended up in the Feywild!
