The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is D&D's next big adventure storyline that brings the wicked whimsy of the Feywild to fifth edition for the first time.

The recent Unearthed Arcana, Folk of the Feywild, contained the fairy, hobgoblin of the Feywild, owlfolk, and rabbitfolk. UA is usually a good preview of what's in upcoming D&D books.

Curriculum of Chaos is an upcoming D&D release set in the Magic: The Gathering world of Strixhaven -- a brand new MtG set only just launched.

Strixhaven is a school of mages on the plane of Arcavios, an elite university with five rival colleges founded by dragons: Silverquill (eloquence), Prismari (elemental arts), Witherbloom (life and death), Lorehold (archaeomancy), and Quandrix (numeromancy). You can read more about the M:tG set here.

You will be able to tune into WotC's streamed event D&D Live on July 16 and 17 for details on both, including new character options, monsters, mechanics, story hooks, and more!

To actually be official. As already explained. You may not like the answer, but your liking it changes the truth of it not one whit.

Great
Where???

Not that I'm expecting much. Talking with someone dismisses the potential of a counterargument and claims absolute truth is generally like holding a conversation with a brick wall

One thing about Stryxhaven is it is a very new setting. That means it's not really pinned down, especially with regards what isn't in it. Not that I think it will be the first MtG world with gem dragons, but it could be.

I could see the Dragon Subclasses fitting in very well, actually, and before the Dragon Race UA I felt the Subclasses were for Strixhaven: but based on the Dragon material in Strixhaven so far, the Dragon Races seem like...something else.

All these talks about raves and now suddenly I have a strong urge to be in one.

what is a rave?

If there was any doubt these get published for cross promotional purposes only here's your proof. This is a brand new Magic setting, skipping over many more well known and popular Magic settings to get published.

There wasn't.

Exactly. Past covers do not tell the whole story of an Adventure book, they are hooks.

Almost every past adventure cover evokes the overall theme of the adventure and more often than not, shows the main villain. I guess we'll see with this one, but it seems to indicate that the circus will play a major role in the overall adventure and may even suggest a jester or clown as a major villain, perhaps in the vein of It.

The cover is growing on me. It's just not what I was expecting for a Feywild adventure.

Apperetly the module of the Feywild may something like a "pilot episode", something like the first adventure of the Castle Ravenloft. It is a succes, then they could develope more about this plane.

I've been thinking about it - what if "Feywild: The Wild Beyond the Witchlight" is like "Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" and "Tyranny of Dragons: Hoard of the Dragon Queen" and a sequel adventure module is coming later in the Adventurer's League season? Usually that sequel module would be set for November, but we've had settings and adventures release in November at the same time before - see 2018 and Ravnica as well as Dungeon of the Mad Mage having November releases, or Eberron: Rising From the Last War and Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus in November 2019. What if the project "closing out the year" is a bigger, more Fae Feywild adventure? That would mean that the Draconic material is for 2022, but it would line up with the language from the design studio's blog.

A techno dance party.

The two Shadar-Kai circus masters seem to play some major role, but are doubtless not the entire story.

Most of the reallife fairytales were recorded during the 1800s, as part of the era of romantic nationalism.

The styles of the 1800s resonate with the folklore vibe.
