I'm working on planning the next story arc in my campaign, and my players will finally be transitioning into the Seelie Court en route to the rest of the arc played throughout Arvandor.
They've had/will have extensive interactions with most of the Elven pantheon and several Fey deities, and I'm just wondering if anyone has ever run sessions involving or has access to modules or resources along the lines of Fey or Elven origin.
From creatures or NPCs to storylines and settings, I'm just looking to dig through ideas to get the wheels turning. Any help would be appreciated, and I'd be glad to bounce ideas off anyone willing.

Haven't seen or read many adventures dealing with the fey, but I like to look up mythology for inspiration. I like to use them as spirits of nature, and things go horribly wrong if they get upset. fey become twisted and seek to destroy those that destroy the nature their tied to.
I read somewhere that dryads who lose their trees are thought to turn into splinterwaifs, who like to eat children and leave bodies that turn into thorn bushes. In another setting, a large city was plagued by two fey serial killers named "gristle" and "flay", who appeared as a single person. I believe flay was a fey that appeared a a suit of skin and would envelope/strangle people, and gristle was a behemoth of bone and muscle underneath whose bones were sharpened to spines.

In the faerie realm, story trumps physics/rules, if you want pcs/npcs to walk through a tree to enter the castle of a bottom of a lake then bam-you do it, it will get wacky, but have fun with it. I ran a game where three tribes were fighting over the moon. The Moon was stuck in a tree (straight out of Brothers Grimm tale), so the Satyrs, Owlbears and Thri-kreen were fighting over it. The pcs had to undergo a bunch of physical, mental and social tests to get enough status to decide who got the Moon. Note many creatures not listed as 'fey' are part of the style of faerie stories: Banshee, Blights, Bullywug, Cyclopse, Ettercap, Faerie Dragon, Galeb Duhr, Goblins, Hags, Myconids, Peguses, Satyr, Scarecrow, Treants, Trolls. - I would leave regular Demons, Devils, Dragons, Giants and Undead (except Banshee) out of it. Movies - The Labyrinth (Bowie/Connelly), Willow, Snow White & the Huntsman, Pans Labyrinth, Shrek. If yer into disney then Cinderella or Alice in Wonderland. Heck half the episodes of Adventure Time  Internet - Brothers Grimm text archive - www.umich.edu/~umfandsf/other/ebooks/Grimm/ (recommend stories 12, 20, 45) Dragon magazines 185 & 420, Dungeon magazine 157, 196 & 212. Bunch of suppliments and adventures if you type Feywild here - www.dmsguild.com/ |
