Faerie Setting

An Otherworld locale or the lair of a Faerie creature may provide the backdrop to an otherwise unrelated conflict; the flavor of the site can then color the event without necessarily altering the substance of the encounter. Faerie’s traits may well prove major hazards or boons, such as by allowing PC or NPC spellcasters to accomplish much more than usual. Beyond the fundamental properties of a setting, it can set the tone for an encounter and encourage players to see events as they fit or clash with the Faerie backdrop.

Examples:

  1. In an attempt to hunt down a rare unguent vital to curing a city’s poisoned citizens, the party must find a certain draconic vendor in the shifting, 
    chaotic markets of Amberabad in Annwn and convince her to reveal the source of her wares.
  2. When cornered in his lair in a long-dead volcano, a villainous fire mage makes a last ditch escape through a little-known portal into Annwn; to catch their foe, the party must follow quickly and not be intimidated by the Otherworld volcano’s very lively, very angry state.
