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.

She has an established look already,make different Gnome ugly.

She's also, hear me out, NOT REAL.

When people talk about fictional characters having established looks, I always flashback to Fox screaming about how Santa is white.

Is that a Moon card from a Deck of Many Things stuck in the end of her instrument?

I wonder, could there be a deck in the adventure?!?

It was present in the MTG art. Isn't that the backstory here? She drew a card and wished to be the greatest bard in the multiverse or something?

I thought I'd heard that, but wasn't 100% sure. I also think I saw somewhere on the article about Witchlight that there is a Deck of Many Things involved in the adventure somewhere.

Yeah this is the explanation I read too. Can't remember where.

Where? Do you remember?

I thought I saw it in one of @Morrus 's previews, but I can't find it now.

"The legendary bard Ellywick Tumblestrum—a gnome whose many journeys began on an unknown world of the Material Plane—has beguiled a fey prince, calmed the fury of the Nine Hells, twisted the mind of an archmage, won the love of a dragon-god, and brought a demon queen to tears. The magic of a wish spell granted by a lucky draw from the Deck of Many Things made her the greatest bard in the Multiverse. Her music bends hearts and minds to her will, draws animals to her side, and reshapes her environment."
