The information in this book is intended forthe DM's eyes only: Ifyou're planning to playthrough the adventure with someone else as your DM, stop reading now! ADVENTURE SUMMARY ‘The main antagonists ofthis story are three hags ‘who collectively form the Hourglass Coven, which is described in appendix B. These hags are the adop: | pastand a key player in the adventure's unfolding drama, Using an artifact called /éewilv’s Cauldron, the hags have trapped an archfey named Zybilna in temporal stasis and carved up her fey domain among them. This domain is called Prismeer. To ‘enterit, the characters must firs visit the Witch- fight Carnival, which travels across the Material Plane and appears on the characters’ world once every eight years. The carnival owners are a pair of shadar-kai (ves native to the Shadowtell) named Mister Witch and Mister Light, who can help or der the characters’ efforts to reach Prismeer. One of the many novelties ofthis adventure is that the characters can accomplish their goals without resorting to violence—but only ifthey're clever. They can fight their way through the adventure as well, but the odds won't always be in their favor, ADVENTURE STRUCTURE ‘The characters are drawn into the adventure by one ‘oft wo adventure hooks, You choose which hook to use. Both hooks are described in "Beginning the Adventure,” later in this introduction, Chapter 1 describes the Witchlight Carnival Hidden somewhere in the carnival isa fey erossing. to the domain of Prismeer, but the trick to opening this portal is known only to the earnival’s shadar-kai ‘owners, Mister Witch and Mister Light. \ 4 \ INTRODUCTION | INTO THE FEYWILD tive sisters of Igqwily, a powerful figure from D&D's ee INTRODUCTION _ INTO THE FEYWILD cs 4 W Chapters 2, 3, and 4 deseribe the carved-up do- main of Prismeer, which the hags of the Hourglass Coven have usurped and split into thirds. The char actets can move between these splinter-ealms only ifthey have the right fey uides to help them, Chapter 5 describes the Palace of Heart's Desire, where the archfey Zybilna and her court are frozen in time by the magic of Iggwil’s Cauldron, The pal- ace is where the characters need to go ifthey hope tothwart the Hourglass Coven by frecing Zybilna or destroying the eauldron. The book concludes with several appendices ‘wherein you'l find rules for new magic items, stat blocks for new creatures, and other goodies, At the end ofthe book isa Story Tracker you can use to ‘keep track of story developments as they occur. Ad vice on how to use the Story Tracker appears later in this introduction CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT The adventure assumes that the characters start at Ist level. Ifyour players are more interested in exploration and social interaction than combat, or if you want to make the characters’ Feywild excursion less dangerous, have them start at 3rd level instead Advancement is handled the same way regardless. In this adventure, the characters receive experi ence points for achieving milestones rather than defeating monsters: Entering a Hag'’s Realm. Whenever the charac- ters enter a hag's realm (Hither, Thither, or Yon) for the first time, everyone in the party receives ‘enough XP to advance 1 level. For example, when the characters leave the Witchlight Carnival and arrive in Hither for the first time, they gain a level Encountering a Hag. After the characters encoun- ter a hag of the Hourglass Coven for the first time, everyone in the party who survives the encounter receives enough XP to advance 1 level Freeing Zybilna, Ifthe characters free Zybilna from temporal stasis or destroy Jégwilv’s Cauldron, everyone in the party receives enough XP to ad: vance | level If you follow this method of character advance- ‘ment, characters who start the adventure at Ist level might reach 6th level by the adventure’s conclusion.RUNNING THE ADVENTURE ‘To run the adventure, you need the ith edition core ulebooks (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual). Text that appears ina boxlite this is meantte be read aloud or paraphrased forthe players when their characters fst ative at location or under specifc ‘rcumstance, as described inthe text, ‘The Monster Manual contains stat blocks for most of the creatures encountered in this adventure. When a creatures name appears in bold type, that's visual cue pointing you to its stat block as a way ‘of saying. “Hey, DM, you'd better get this creature's stat block ready. You're going to need it” Ifthe stat block is not from the Monster Manual, the adven- tures tex tells you where to findit. ‘Spells and equipment mentioned in the adventure ate described in the Player's Handbook. Magic items are deseribed in the Dungeon Master’ Guide unless the adventure's text directs you to appendix A Ustne THE Maps. This book contains a fold-out, double-sided posier ‘map and several interior maps. These elements are further described in the sections that follow. Poster MAP ‘The adventure ets you know whea it’s safe to ‘show your players either side of the double-sided poster map, (One side ofthe poster map shows the Witehlight Carnival and a Time Tracker, tohelp you track the passage of time as the characters explore the car nival, Certain carnival events occur only when the ‘Time Tracker reaches a certain point. Though t's rot necessary, your group ean place tokens of min- atures on the map to keep track of where the ehar- acters are in the carnival at any given time. ‘The reverse side of the poster map shows the Feywild domain of Prismeer, now divided into three splinter-realms called Hither, Thither, and Yon Lodged between them is the Palace of Heart's De- sire—the home of Prisineer’s archfey ruler, Zybilna, ‘This side ofthe map is meant tobe shared with the players once the characters reach the palace, from ‘where they can look out over the whole domain. DMfriendly versions of this map appear in chapters 2,3, and 4, to help you track the party's progress through Prismeet’s splinter-realms. ne as INTERIOR Mars Maps that appear in this book are for your eyes only. {As the characters explore locations on a given map, ‘you can redraw portions of the map on graph paper, ‘a weterase mat, or another surface to help your players visualize locations that might have unusual shapes or features. Your hand-drawn maps need ‘not be faithful to the originals, and you can alter a ‘maps features as you see ft. Nor do your maps need to be painstakingly rendered. You can omit details ‘that are not readily visible (such as secret doors and. ‘ther hidden features) until the characters are able to detect and interact with them. Slopes and Staireases. An arrow on a slope or staircase always points in the ascending direction. LanpManKs Not To ScALE ‘The poster map of Prismeer and the interior maps ‘of Hither, Thither, and Yon show important land= ‘marks that are described in the text, These land mares are not drawn to scale, USING THE STORY TRACKER This adventure uses a Story Tracker, a copy of, ‘which is included atthe back of this book. The Story Tracker isa note-keeping tool to help you remember {important information about the characters and their accomplishments. Atvarious times in the adventure, you will be ad- vised to jot down information on the Story Tracker, as events that happen in earlier chapters can give ‘characters an advantage in later chapters. The Story. Tracker also allows you to record important details. For example, if charaeter falls under a curse, not- ing the specifics of the curse on the Story Tracker ‘might remind you ofthe effect. INTRODUCTION | INTO THE FEYWiLD/ ad lzUntcorn Horn lost unicorn horn plays an important part in the adventure. Iis location is determined randomly by rolling on the Unicorn Horn's Location table. Once you determine where the horn is, record its location fn the Story Tracker. The horn belongs to a unicorn named Elidon, who was captured and transformed into a rocking horse by the Hourglass Coven. For more information about Elidon, see area L6 in chapter 3.

Tips FoR New DUNGEON Masters Most ofthis book is for the DM's eyes only, since its full of secrets that your players won't discover until you run the adventure for them. That said, the adventure contains alot of information that can be shared with the players at specific times, as dis. cussed below. New CHARACTER OPTIONS During character creation, you can allow your play ers to read the new backgrounds and race options that appear in this introduction, if you're comfort. able with allowing these options in your game. Mactc Ire Descriptions When the characters acquire a new magic item and figure out what it does (see “Identifying a Magic Item” in the Dungeon Master's Guide), give that item's description to the players. SraTistics Creature stat blocks should be kept hidden from the players until circumstances warrant otherwise, as discussed below. ‘Armor Class. When characters make attacks against a creature, you compare those attacks 10 the creature's Armor Class to determine whether the attacks hit After a certain number of hits and ‘misses, players can usually pinpoint a creature's AC on their own. However, in the interest of speeding up combat, you can divulge a creature's AC once the ‘characters have hit the creature atleast once, allow: ing players to know without asking ifattacks made against the creature hit or miss. Hit Points, I's better not to tel players how many hit points a creature has. However, you can give the players a sense of how well they're doing against the creature by describing, in narrative terms, how hurt the creature is, For example, ifthe creature has fewer than half its hitpoints remaining, you can descrie itas being badly wounded or on the ropes. Such information gives the players a sense of. accomplishment and might spur them to press the attack. On the other hand, ifthe characters aren't putting much ofa dent in the creature's hit points, either because it has a lot of them or ithas a trait such as Regeneration, i's a good idea to let the play lets know that the creature looks like itcan take a Jot more punishment. That information alone might encourage the players fo consider a change of plan, ‘such asa tactical retreat. Damage. Players need you (0 ll them how much damage their characters take and what type of dam: age it is. Whenever the adventure presents damage thats variable, it shows the average damage fist, followed by a die expression in parentheses, like this: 10 (3d6). You decide whether to use the average‘or roll the dice. Using average damage speeds up play, but it might feel less exciting, and players can take advantage oft predictability. Rolling the dice takes more time but can yield more volatile results. Inthe interest of fairness, commit to one approach forthe other fr the duration ofan encounter or ‘game session “Abilities, Strengths, and Weaknesses. As their characters fight a creature, players expect to learn tore about the creature's sirengihs, weaknesses, and abilities. I's okay to share such information ‘with them as it becomes apparent For example, you can describe a creature's wounds closing up when i regenerates. Characters don't need to igh a creature t know certain facts about it. For example, a character who has the Witchlight hand background and chose a sprite for a carnival companion would know a lt about sprites, including their ability to urn invisible. Similarly fa character intuits that a treant being a creature made of wood, has vulnerability to fire damage, just smile faintly and say, “That's a reason able hypothesis." Ifthe treant takes double damage fom a freball spel, be sure to let players know how badly the fre hur it Don't be afraid to dole out information to charac- ters who have the applicable knowledge. If you're ‘ot sure whether the characters possess such knowledge, have them make an Intelligence check (Gee the Dungeon Master's Gude for more guidance about ability checks), and share the information if ‘one or more characters succeed an the check Dice Rotts Many DMs like to roll their dice in the open, for all, the players to see, to maintain transparency. Other DMs prefer to rol dice behind a screen to maintain ‘suspense. Either approach is fine Even DMs who conceal their dice rolls might divulge certain results. For example, when a crea ture scores a critical hit against a character, i's customary to let the player know that their character Just (ook a particularly nasty hit before revealing hhow much damage was dealt. It’s okay to ask one of your players to make a die ‘oll for you. For example, ifyou plan to use one of this adventure’s random encounters, you can have a player roll to determine what the characters encoun- ter, rather than making the roll yourself. Srory INFORMATION Important information that doesnt appear in boxed text is usually communicated to players through roleplaying. As the DM, you roleplay all the creatures that the characters encounter in the adventure. Many of the DM-controlled creatures {also called nonplayer characters, or NPCs) in this, “Marine Misranes Dungeon Master ‘adventure know information that the characters can learn through inquiry. The adventure outlines the ‘most likely circumstances under which a ereature will share what it knows. ‘The adventure describes important creatures in detail, while creatures of little consequence get no ‘more than a passing reference. As such, you have enough information to bring important creatures t0 life, But not so much that it becomes a chore to re- ‘member al the details. The adventure seldom goes ‘s0far as to describe what a creature sounds like, nor does it reveal everything that a creature might say or do, You're expected to improvise and bring ‘features to life as best you can. For example, the adventure describes Mister Light (one of the owners cof the Witchlight Carnival) as a flamboyant Figure, ‘but you get to decide what his voice sounds like and how he reacts to a given situation, based on what the adventure says about him. You can also ignore ‘what the text says and roleplay Mister Light or any’ other ereature as you see fit Roleplaying Aids. Appendix B contains informa- tion that will help you roleplay a handful of import ant DM-controlled characters whose actions propel id shape the narrative of the adventure, The cards in appendix D serve much the same purpose but are optional; they provide roleplaying notes for sev- eral other colorful characters who aren't as pivotal. You can photocopy these cards, cut them out, and. keep them ina handy stack behind your DM screen, sorted alphabetically or grouped by chapter, (The latter option works better ifyou expect the current game session to focus entirely on one chapter of the adventure.) FEYWILD TRINKETS ‘The Feywild Trinkets table that fellows oflers a se- lection of trinkets appropriate for Feywild themed adventures such a this one. Players whose charac: ters have the feylost or Witchlight hand background can roll on this table instead ofthe Trinkets able in the Player's Handbook to determine what trinkets their characters possess. The adventure includes a few encounters that require you to all on the table to determine what random trinkets the characters find in key locations.
