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!

I'm the opposite, I think the only part that will appear in Strixhaven is the Owlfolk, because the rest don't appear in the card set, and if they were going to do a UA for Strixhaven you'd have ones that actually appear in the card set. Yes there are a bunch of animalish races, but none of them are rabbitfolk, and a bunch that do appear in the card set don't appear in the UA. Keep your eyes open for a Strixhaven UA, both for races and maybe subclasses and spells. I think this could be a player options heavy book like Eberron, just from the card set and Planeswalker Guide. Given its a magic school with the Mythic Archievses it'd be weird if it didn't have new spells as the instants and sorceries focused set.

Does anyone know where this card comes from or what it is?

Commander Legends was a supplemental Set last year for straight-to-Commander cards (Commander is a specific rules format, different from Standard). This particular Rabbit was not part of any Setting...that they called out...but I would not be shocked if a Strixhaven book included something like this, along other anthropomorphic animals.

Maybe. But "domains" is a word in English that isn't just a game term. They could just mean the area around her castle that she controls.

Sure, but the same word is used not once but twice: "gateway to Zybilna’s domain"..."Zybilna and her Feywild domain". And in the Ravenloft book, where "domain" is a game term. I think it's very unlikely to be a coincidence.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Perhaps, but I still think the Feywild UA is for the Witchlight book, although Owlfolk/Owlin will clearly do double duty. I think there could be a UA for Strixhaven book yet, for Bearfolk, Frogfolk, Vampires (or they reuse Dhampyrs), Kor, etc...

It would only be bearfolk, there are already frogfolk and dhampyrs. And if the mechanics are fairly simple it wouldn't need to go in a UA.

, with reprints for Leonin, Loxodons, Triton/Merfolk, Orcs, Goblins..., the billion dollar question is will James Wyatt's book be announced this week?

Not sure how many times they are going to reprint gobins! I believe they are both due to be "officially revealed" at the live event in July.

And which of these books will explore Lorendrow and Aevendrow?

Pretty certain the answer to that is "neither".

 

[Paul Farquhar]

it's the mysterious final project to close out 2021.

Or it's simply not spoiled yet.

I think it's a boxed set. Not a book = not leaked on Amazon.

Further, I think it's a "play as Drizzt and company" boxed set. And that is where Lorendrow and Aevendrow might be involved. And BG3 of course.

Yesterday I was watching Maleficent with the kids, the Moors is what I imagine the Feywild like. I hope the "circus" is just some sort of gateway to get to the real Feywild.

If the Feywild does have domains it could look like lots of different things, perhaps reflecting the folklore of different peoples and times.

Harry Potter goes to college ...

Even better!

Harry: Ron, I think I've encountered something more terrifying than Voldemort..

Ron: What's that?

Harry: Crippling student debt.

Ron: I thought you were rich though?

Harry: Not in this campaign Ron....takes a hard sip of spiked Butter Beer Not in this one.

For the record, the MTG setting books have sold quite well - not as well as Eberron, but they're beating most of the september hardcovers

Plus they have had "updates" to various 5E subsystems, such as the Piety System for gods(Theros), Renown for Factions/Groups(Ravnica), and technically scalable weapons/armors/magical items(Wildemount).

Telling me to go back through 20 pages of posts for something vague you wrote isn't as helpful as you think

Are you seriously arguing that the definition of official is something that is official?


Something can be official AND compatible
That was clearly so people didn't mistake it for a MtG product as that logo was much larger

It's made by WizCo staff, published by the WizCo, and was hosted on the official site
It's as official as ONE GRUNG ABOVE or the TORTLE PACKAGE or the ELEMENTAL EVIL PLAYER'S COMPANION
And it's a hell of a lot more official than EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO WILDEMOUNT that wasn't playtested and wasn't actually written by any WizCo staff (even the editors were mostly freelancers)

If DRAGON magazines that weren't published by WizCo can be "100% official" then the various PLANESHIFT products must be 110% official
