Abandoned children’s forts litter the sandy banks, tattered quilts and rope ladders waving in the breeze. Extinguished campsites still have gnawed boots and patchwork socks hanging out to dry. Sighing ships – beached for countless years – groan and rock when the waters rise high, their weary flags fluttering still. The winds carry uncannily familiar whispers.Riddling harpies infest the realm, attempting to lure travelers to their watery graves, but they avoid the center of the realm at all costs. Yearling beasts abound – goats, deer, waterfowl. Every night the yearlings travel to the center of the realm, past stone menhirs which are actually slumbering galeb duhr, and hold court.Vilta the Spoon Princess rules over the assembly. She appears as a wild-haired girl adorned in a wreath of flowers, a disheveled gown and cloak, carrying a heavy wooden cudgel (use korred stats, but she is Chaotic Good and speaks Common). Born as wise as she is uncouth, Vilta longs to reunite with her “fair sister” Retterfina. Once upon a time, the sisters traveled the Shores of Dream aboard a ship known as Wingless, but Retterfina chose to settle down in a mortal life to manage the kingdom of their departed parents. Over time, Retterfina nearly forgot her wild sister Vilta, only recalling glimpses of their deep bond in her dreams. In fact, the twin sisters are incomplete without the other; Retterfina lacks the gumption to face life’s challenges head on, and Vilta lacks a bosom companion to share adventures with.Tattered Realm Whispers<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>d8</td><td>Whisper</td></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>The voice of a defeated foe hangs on the wind, shedding new light on a character’s flaw.</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>The voice of a missing or dead loved one beckons towards the borders of the realm.</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>A whisper similar to one of the character’s own voices forces that character to make a DC 15 Charisma saving throw or be charmed to cast off all gear save the clothes on their back and run into the wilds for 8 hours. During that time, a wild twin of that character approaches the party to join them.</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>Whispering voice of a child – this could be a child known to the characters, or even the voice of a future child one of the character’s will have. It foretells an ill omen.</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>Voices of the characters echo from their childhoods. Each character must succeed a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be transformed into a child for 8 hours. During this time, the character acts as if under the effects of the reduce spell, and gains a new flaw: I quickly get frustrated with anyone who tells me I’m not old enough.</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>An insidious voice mocks the responsibilities of the characters, and calls on them to unfetter themselves. Any character dropping an item representing their bond or responsibilities floats up into the sky, through the clouds, and emerges on the deck of the airship Wingless.</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>A wailing voice is barely audible on the wind. Anyone listening closely must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, a creature drops to 0 hit points, as per a banshee’s wail. On a success, a creature takes 10 (3d6) psychic damage.</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>Laughing sister’s voices ring out across the waters, sending wildflowers tumbling on the wind.</td></tr></table>Wild Twins. When a character’s twin manifests, it takes the form of an unruly childlike yet wise version of that character (use korred stats).The Hourglass Promise. When the moon is at its darkest and the boundaries between the Feywild and mortal world grow thin, trolls crawl out of the muck at the bidding of the Hourglass Coven. It was through their fertility magic that Vilta’s mother gave birth to twin girls, and the hags wish to bring Vilta into their fold. As yet, however, the Spoon Princess has proved the equal to every foul minion the Hourglass Coven have sent after her.The Wingless. This rudderless worn airship drifts in the clouds above the Spoon Princess’ realm. Singing voices echo for 100 feet around it, acting as a permanent bard’s Countercharm to all non-evil creatures.</blockquote>
