Fae Wild - Mod Account

Nov. 25th, 2023 at 1:33 PM


		Welcome to the Faewild Faewild is a panfandom invite-only game that focuses on many genres. Characters have been brought to the realm of the Fae, outside of the normal courts of the Winter and Summer factions, to entertain the denizens in a neutral zone. Through events, characters will learn more about the different species and what the status of the Courts' infamous feud is in regards to the other realms. By assisting the Handmaiden and others, you'll gain rewards that will set you for notice with others of power. Are you ready for that?

Activity Check

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 8:21 PM

☙ Activity can be posted at any time during the month you're checking in for.
☙ Activity closes for the last month on 12:00AM of the 1st of the new month.
☙ We won't be doing AC reminders. If you fail to put in AC or don't have AC, your characters will be swept. You can reapp the next month.
☙ If there is an issue for putting in AC, please contact the mods.
☙ If you are new, you don't need to make AC the first month. Setting up your top levels is enough.
☙ AC is a letter to the Handmaiden each month, briefly telling her what you've done for the month and what you like and/or hate about being in the Fae Wild.
☙ To make AC, reply to your own comment with the month and year in the header along with this form:

Player Name: Your Name
Character: Your Character's Name

A note for the Handmaiden...

This is where you tell the Handmaiden wat you've been doing. A few sentences is all that's needed!

Drops, Hiatuses, Canon Updates

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 8:20 PM

We're sorry to see you leave! We hope that you had fun while you were here. Please keep in mind that if you drop all of your characters in the game that you will need a new invite.

Dropped characters can be handled a few ways. Your character can trade all of their berries and one precious item to be returned to their world, but with the option of being brought back at any time. They can complete quests that allow them to go home, but with the same caveat. They can get lost in the woods and assumed lost for all time to the realm. Or they can die and the magic loses their essence.

When on hiatus, you can have your character go on autopilot around the Fae Wild, have them pull a Rip van Winkle, or they can get lost in the Forest. Any hiatus needing more than thirty (30) days will require confirmation with the mods.

NEW MATERIAL! That's always exciting! Please let us know if it's new memories, abilities or if it's a CRAU. If you're updating to a new point in the canon, we ask that you be careful with spoilers and that you adhere to the 30 days/1 month rule for applications.

Characters experiencing an update will find themselves given a "gift" from the Handmaiden that will make them fall asleep. After a full night's rest (or however long you want it to last), they will return with all of their new memories, scars, and any other physical changes. It's magic, okay.

Player Suggestions

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 8:09 PM

You want events? You can have 'em! Want to add something new to the game? We can do that! (Maybe.)

Fill out our quick form!

Event ideas will be screened!

Rewards

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 8:08 PM

☙ Items and rewards can be earned in one of two ways:

☙ Through participation in specific event or TDM prompts. These prompts will be specifically noted as being eligible for rewards exchanges. In order to claim the offered reward, please use the form below for Prompt Rewards.

☙ Through in character activity in game. Each comment from your character will count as one berry. Berries may be spent immediately or banked and ~~stored for the winter~~ saved to be used at a later date. Please use the form below for Activity Rewards.

ITEMS FOR PURCHASE

So you've accumulated a lot of Berries™ during your time here and you'd like your powers/weapons/life back? Maybe you want something new? This is where you can spend them for IC & OOC quality of life improvements!

☙ Please keep in mind that the Fae Boons are titles/achievements that can be applied to threads in certain situations to build upon your Berry accumulation while the rewards are just items that are to be used in game.

☙ Please note your Boon multiplier(s) on each applicable thread when adding them up. The Mods are not going to be able to keep track, and if it is not noted in your rewards submission it will not be retroactively added in.

» Activity Rewards

Item Price Breakdown Full Canon Power Regain 250 Berries So you miss having your magic or superhuman abilities? Cool. Luckily, the Fae love making bargains. Ask nicely and play nicely, as magical actions have magical consequences. Even once regained, powers will be slightly nerfed. (Check FAQ for details.) New Power 100 Berries So you are jealous of all the faeries and magically inclined characters around you? Cool. The Fae have you covered there too. Again for a price. Choose from the following: shapeshifting, elemental control (one element), flight, healing, telepathy, telekinesis, or propose an idea of your own to the mods. Pets Varied Missing your furry/scale/slimy/feather/disturbingly naked pal? Have the Fae got a deal for you. Get your emotional support critter back for a small fee! Please note, pet characters that would be considered a separately appable character cannot be regained as a reward (e.g. Luna or Artemis from Sailormoon).
Small animal companion (cat, dog, fox, squirrel) - (50)
Medium to large animal companion (wolf, horse, bear, tiger) - (100)
Giant to Monstrous (why do you have a dragon?) - (250)
Extremely Magical (sentient magic carpet) - (250) Regular non-magical weapons. Varied Small (dagger, dagger, dagger, but only one at a time) - (50)
Large (Calm the fuck down Cloud) - (75)
Guns (Magically modified into non-iron versions) Pistols - (50) & Rifles - (150)
Ammunition - First bullet is free. The rest need to be made. Luckily the Fae are quick learners. Better find an in character way of getting that first bullet duplicated. Non-Magical Item from Home
Small item
Large Item S - 25 Berries
L - 50 Berries Things from your character's canon world.
Small - Pictures, books, jewelry
Large - Furniture, entire wardrobes Magical or High Tech Items Varied Minor magical items - Non weapons. Items that do one thing pretty well. (Video game system, TV, health potion, ring of water walking, etc.) (50)
More complex magical or high tech items - Items that do several things really well. (Smart Phone, Laptop, Bag of Holding, Alchemy Jug, etc.) (150)
Deck of Many Things - No. (1 billion berries) Magical or High Tech Weapons & Armor Varied So hitting things with regular sticks isn’t enough? Fine. Any iron or steel weapons will find themselves made out of other materials but still functioning in the same fashion.
Minorly magical weapon/armor - (100)
Worryingly powerful magical weapon/armor - (200)
Technologically ridiculous weapon/armor (Tony Stark we’re looking at you) - (300)
Gundams. No. What the hell is wrong with you. Just no. No mechs. - (1 million berries) Vehicles Varied Good luck with no roads, folks, but sure. You’re emotionally attached to your car. That’s healthy.
Motorcycle (200)
Car (300) Living Situations Varied Why don’t you like your quaint little cottage? Rude. Turning your nose up at Fae hospitality isn’t good form. But you know what, fine. (Enjoy the brownies coming to visit all the time though.)
Buildings from home -
House (300)
Mansion (500)
Castle (900)
TARDIS (1000) Also it’s grounded. It stays where it lays.
☙ Please note berries can be pooled together by multiple players for housing. Business License 100 Berries In order to run a business, the Fae will demand payment, and you’d better have your permit. (This is for businesses run out of housing and existing fae buildings.) Pre-existing Business (with Faerie modifications) 300 Berries Recreate your business in the Fae Wild. But that will cost you too. Good news! Business license included. Please note any technology will be replaced by a seamless magical equivalent. Marriage License 100 Berries So, you wanna get hitched? Great. The Fae will attend and stare at all the strange customs! There's even a chapel that they've set up for it and a fat brownie that will officiate. Congrats, you're hitched. Rings not included. Additional Character Slots 200 Berries Please keep in mind that you will only be able to purchase two (2) to raise the number of characters any one player can have in game to the total of five (5). You will have to have passed the AC check for at least four (4) months with all of your characters.

» Fae Boons

Welcoming Committee 100 Berries Any threads between your character and new players during their first month, including on the TDM will be worth 2x the normal berry rate. Red String of Fate 100 Berries each The red string of fate connects two characters to one another. These characters will always be able to find one another. Any threads between string-bound characters will be worth 2x the normal berry rate. The red strings of fate can only bind two characters at one time. The binding does not have to be romantic, fate finds friends and enemies as well as lovers. Champion of the People 100 Berries If your character is the type to fight to defend others, they may want to invest in this particular Boon. Any thread in which your character fights or otherwise risks life and limb to defend another player character or NPC, their berry total for that thread will be doubled. Florence Nightingale 100 Berries If your character is a lover not a fighter, this Boon might be for them. If you purchase this Boon, any thread in which your character provides healing for another player character or NPC, their berry total for that thread will be doubled. Token Bearer Event locked If you complete an event quest for one of the Fae, you will receive a token that allows you to get 2x the berries on all threads for one month. The token has to be turned in to be used, but you may choose which month you use it in.

☙ Something not here? Talk to the Mods and we’ll figure out how to make it work.

Invites

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 8:00 PM

Please remember that you must either be on the Plurk Timelines of the Mod team or have an invite from a current player!

Invitees will have thirty (30) days after you put in the invite for them to use it for an app. What that means for you is that every month, you get ONE (1) invite for that month, but you can put it in at any time in that month's time frame and your friend has 30 days to apply. That means, hypothetically, you could have two active invites going at the same time, but we will be checking that. Please supply the person you are inviting with the link.

Players who are friends with a moderator on plurk get an automatic invite, and do not need to request an invitation. Just list on your reserve/application which mod you know.

All comments will be screened at first and then unscreened when they are approved. Mods have final say in all invitations. If an invited player is not approved, we will comment accordingly and the comment will not be unscreened.

Please fill out the following form and post it as a comment below to extend an invitation.

Locations

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 7:57 PM

SUMMER COURT

The idyllic lands of the Summer Sidhe could easily be mistaken for paradise. All of the bright, warm colors of the foliage and the inhabitants brings to mind the warmth and joy of picturesque summer vignettes. However, this is not a safe realm. The faeries that call this court home might be beautiful, but they hide a dangerous viciousness beneath their pleasant facades. Ruled by the Summer Queen, this part of the Fae Realm can only be visited by others with her express permission.

WINTER COURT

The snow-swept landscape the Winter Sidhe call home looks rough, harsh and haggard at first glance. It’s true that everything at first is awash in white, but a little searching will find bits and pieces of greenery and life peeking from the cold powder and packed ground. The inhabitants are much like that—easy to dismiss as gruesome and dangerous at first glance (and make no mistake, they are), but behind their exteriors one can find beauty if you are adventurous enough to look. Ruled by the cool, distantly alluring Winter Queen, this part of the Fae Realm can only be visited by others with her express permission.

HANDMAIDEN'S REALM

A beautiful part of the Fae Realm, nestled between the Winter and Summer Courts, the part called the Fae Wild is ruled by the mysterious Handmaiden and is kept as neutral ground from the infamous feud between the Sidhe Queens and their Courts. While she rules this land and is the arbiter of justice, there are forces beyond even her control. Players are only allowed to leave on special occasions and with the permission of the powerful creatures that roam the entire Realm.

PATH

The starting point for those who have traveled through the Fairy Rings and find themselves in the Handmaiden’s domain. Made of bright, white stones, this is the only safe area in the woods to reach the village beyond.

WOODS

Despite the bright colors of the outer trees and bushes, no light reaches the ground between the tightly packed boughs of the wondrous appearing leaves. Any attempt to peer too deeply into them will give you a headache. And if you dare step off of the carefully laid path of stones that leads to the village, mysterious vines will drag you deep into it. Only to spit you back out, with a wicked set of tattoos dotting your skin. (Too many of those and your time here will start to be rough.)

VILLAGE

The heart of the Fae Wild, this is the seat of the Handmaiden’s power. The larger buildings include her personal residence, which is blocked from entry for all but herself and the more powerful fae. Other buildings of various sizes and materials ring a green space where village events take place. Most player cottages are located in the village proper, as well as most of the shops.

RESIDENCES

Several residences are available to those chosen by the Handmaiden. Three are available to choose from, all provided free of charge by the Handmaiden. Be warned however, you might have a Brownie as a roommate, or if you choose the trees, a Dryad may be your bedfellow.

VILLAGE GREEN

A wide expanse of evergreen grass in the middle of the village, this is where the faeries hold all their celebrations. It is also where players are gathered once they arrive for their “orientation”.

OUTSKIRTS

The area of the Fae Wild that isn’t expressly the village, path or woods is all considered the Outskirts. This area is where the other Realms touch and the fae from other Courts come to call. The woods here are safe-ish to hunt and fish in, but those caught here at night might fall prey to the more mischievous of the Handmaiden’s realm. Best to not go in alone.

LAKE

Home to the Naiads, kelpie and other water fae creatures that have decided to call the Fae Wild their own, this lake is also where players can find a steady supply of fish and plants that are available to improve their diets. Just… don’t get too close to the water’s edge without company or if the fae are in fine form.

Rules

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 7:54 PM

1. Be kind to each other. This is a collaborative hobby - we’re all in this together! Respect other players’ boundaries. Harassment and bullying of other players will not be tolerated.

2. IC =/= OOC. Please do not allow any Out Of Character issues you have with other players to bleed into In Character situations ingame. Additionally, do not take negative CR personally; always keep in mind that negative CR with other characters does not mean the players dislike you. Also, keep in mind that In Game Actions equals In Game Consequences.

3. Don't godmod or infomod others. Simply put, don't decide what happens to characters that aren't yours. If something you want your character to do would significantly impact someone else, talk it out with their player! If your character happens to be from a canon that has access to another character’s, please discuss with the other player what their comfort level is before having yours either decide something about them or break the fourth wall. (I.E. Junko Enoshima’s player should be asking Final Fantasy characters if they mind her knowing way too much about them and their love lives.)

4. Bring your concerns to the mods. The MOD CONTACT POST is anon-enabled and screened so don't be afraid to bring something up. Please use this or PMs to the mod journal as a way to contact us regarding the game.

5. Read everything! Make sure to read all the game's information and any mod announcements or posts in the OOC community. Ignorance is not an excuse for breaking a rule, missing important details (such as the AC's end date) or skipping the Activity Check altogether and idling out.

6. Be active. Activity check is two threads with two comments from YOUR character during the current time frame. We understand that things happen, but we want to make sure that everyone is playing too.

7. Do not plagiarize. We take plagiarism very seriously, and have a no tolerance policy, especially during the application process. Remember, it's okay to ask for help, but lifting sections straight out of someone else's writing is not okay, even with that person's permission. (Using your own writing from older apps is acceptable.)

8. Warn for NSFW or potentially triggering content. We know this is a creepy fairygame, so violence and dark topics will happen. We are also fine with sex/smut happening since we’re all adults here. We only ask that you warn generously for everything, place such things under a cut and keep the posts locked to the community. It is also okay to move some scenes to inboxes, especially if they venture into the smut territory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nov. 26th, 2023 at 7:49 PM

Frequently Asked Questions

We've broken down some topics that we thought might be asked by those curious about how the game runs, applications, and what sort of things they should expect. As always, if you don't see it here, feel free to ask below and we will address it!

Out of Character Questions

Is there a Test Drive Meme? How often?

Yes, there is a TDM! And we would love to see you there: join us. New TDMs will go up every season, i.e. Summer & Winter Solstice and Vernal & Autumnal Equinox.

I heard something about invites. How do those work?

Players get one (1) invite each month. They will have to go to the invites page and give the link to the person they want to join, who will place it in the right spot on their app and the reserves page. People who have the mods on plurk only need to list the name of the mod they know.

Will you have Cast Caps or Character Caps?

None of us really like cast caps, so we won’t be dealing with that. Character caps are a different story. While the game itself won’t have a cap on the amount of players or characters that we’ll have in it, we are limiting players to three characters. The option to purchase more slots (with activity proof) will be available once you’ve been in the game longer than four months.

What is activity check (AC)?

We've decided to go with a check-in system for monthly AC. The Handmaiden would like a "love letter" each month, telling her everything about how you like or hate here and what you're doing with your time. Yes, she's watching you, but that doesn't matter, does it?. She will take these into consideration going forward.

Rewards you say?

Yes, rewards will work two ways. 1) Every comment made by your character will count as 1 berry. 2) Participation in events will earn you an audience with the Handmaiden. Please check the Rewards Page for a more comprehensive explanation.

Setting Questions

How do characters get here?

Characters arrive via enchanted Mushroom Rings on their normal plane of existence. They were temporarily charmed by the whispered promises and colors of the Rings and found themselves in a small clearing of a bright and bizarrely hued forest, with a path forward. If they step off of the path, the forest will drag them inside it. They will wake up later, covered in strange markings, again on the path. That will continue until they go down the path.

What happens when characters first show up?

If they stay on the path, players will be approached by small, androgynous faeries that coax them down the marked path towards a village. There, they will be handed silver hand mirrors by the Queens’ handmaidens and ushered as a group for an explanation for why they’re here.

How does time work?

Time is a weird soup, to quote a certain faun, especially here in the Fae realm. It appears to follow a similar pattern of the Earth year cycle, but while you’re here, time back home will stop. You could live a whole life here and time back home will not have changed when you return. If you ever return.

How do you communicate with others?

The mirrors will be used to communicate with those by “Video”. Think of the magic mirrors of fairy tales. The surface of the mirror will act as a touch screen of limited usage. By telling it that you want to send a written message to a specific person or to everyone in general, a touch screen keyboard will appear. When you have a message, your mirror will flash brightly five times an hour until the message is checked. A little envelope icon will appear near the bottom of your mirror. Tapping the icon or telling the mirror to “reply” will open your message and keyboard. Anonymous messages are possible, but don’t be surprised if the fae creatures rat you out. And there are text-to-speech options for those who need it. The Handmaiden will assign a helper fae to go over all that when you arrive.

Can I break my mirror? What happens if I do?

You absolutely can break your mirror. It might be enchanted, but the surface is made out of glass, after all. And, well, in case that it breaks, you can always ask the Handmaiden for a replacement. She'll give you one, but for a price. What that is depends on how she's feeling.

Can you leave?

Leaving on your own is not possible. If you win over the Sidhe Queens, they might agree to send you home with the treasures and riches you deserve. Or if you are too violent or too annoying, you will be returned home with no rewards and a mark on your hand, letting all the fae know that you caused trouble. Of course, there are those fae that break the rules. If your character is determined to go home, maybe they’d be willing to make deals with more shady fae...

Is there a language barrier?

Nope. For some reason, you can understand everyone through verbal communication. The Fae magic that permeates the entire place auto-translates. Messages written via the mirrors are also automatically translated into a common language. However, it is possible to write messages in other languages, i.e. Dwarven, Klingon, Wookiee, etc., and send secrets to anyone who can understand it. So long as it’s done on something other than the mirrors.

What is the technology level?

Since this is a realm ruled almost exclusively by magic, most technology doesn’t work. With some finagling, you *might* be able to get smaller items to work via a magical source. The older the tech, the easier it is: Victrola/gramophones work better than an MP3 player or smartphone, for instance.

What will my character do about money? Housing? Work?

In the Fae Realm, berries are currency. You can use them to purchase things from the Handmaiden and to barter with the other faeries. There are many housing options, including the right to purchase & build your own domicile. As for work, well, do you want to run a shop/farm/go to war with outside factions to gain favor?

Wait, berries?

Yes, berries. Sadly not just any berries, so don’t get ideas about getting rich quick because you found a blueberry patch. Berries are earned through comments made by your character. Generally, one comment = one berry, however there are multipliers that may sometimes be involved based on events or rewards.

So, I see that there are Summer and Winter Queens. Are there factions?

No, there are no factions. This particular domain is under the protection of the Handmaiden. While she serves the queens, this space is a safe zone from either court.

Can I choose to serve a court?

Neither court is currently accepting outsiders to bolster their ranks. Players are free to talk to whomever they want, with some sort of caution. Faeries are known to bend the truth for their own ends after all.

How are you handling hiatuses/canon updates?

When you need to hiatus/update, you can have your characters go about their day to day lives, take a long nap like Rip Van Winkle, or one of the fae can abscond with them for a while and then bring them back. (Might account for any sort of strange physical/mental changes your character has now. All that delicious trauma!)

What's your policy about canon updates?

We are holding canon updates to the same rules of applying characters from media: at least thirty days since the release of your canon point and you have to tag/warn for any spoilers.

Can my character die? What happens if I die?

The Fae Realm is a very dangerous place to be, so you can assume that sometimes the things that go down can and will be lethal. If your character dies, strange markings will appear on their limbs. For every new set of markings, the fae will find it harder and harder to gather your essence back to your form and it will take longer for you to come back. Eventually, they might not be able to gather enough. So, you might want to avoid it. (And, yes, this means that if your character stepped off the path before the fairies came to escort them to the village, they died.)

What happens to dropped characters?

Dropped characters can be handled a few ways. Your character can trade all of their berries and one precious item to be returned to their world, but with the option of being brought back at any time. They can complete quests that allow them to go home, but with the same caveat. They can get lost in the woods and assumed lost for all time to the realm. Or they can die and the magic loses their essence.

Application Questions

How often are apps? Monthly? Bi-monthly?

Applications are on an open basis. We don't have an app cycle, since the game is small and comfy right now. This is subject to change. While you won’t need a reserve to apply to the game, an invite from a mod or current player IS necessary for both reserves and apps.

How do Reserves and Invites work then if there's no app cycle?

In regards to Reserves, those will be honored for ten (10) days before someone else is free to apply for the character in question. Invites will still be used, but we're going to allow the person they're for to have thirty (30) days after you put in the invite for them to use it for an app. What that means for you is that every month, you get ONE (1) invite for that month, but you can put it in at any time in that month's time frame and your friend has 30 days to apply. That means, hypothetically, you could have two active invites going at the same time, but we will be checking that.

How many characters can I app at one time?

You can app two (2) characters during one app cycle.

How many characters can I have in total?

You can have up to three (3) characters at any time. You can purchase up to two (2) more slots through Rewards with proof of activity after four (4) months of being in the game for a total of five (5) character slots.

Are there any age restrictions on Players?

All players must be 18 or older to join the game.

Are there age restrictions on characters?

Yes, there are. We allow child characters in game – the Fae love kidnapping children; it’s a whole thing – however characters must at least be school-aged or equivalent. Characters should be able to comprehend their surroundings and coherently communicate in some form or another, so no infants and toddlers.

How soon after a canon is released can I app a character?

We please ask that you wait at least one month from the localization/release until you attempt to app from a new canon. If you're apping from a canon that has a fansub or has scanlations because of no official release outside of the country or origin, please let us know. We ask that you mark your app for spoilers and consider making an opt-out post for those that want to avoid anything that will spoil it for them.

Can I app a malleable protagonist? (Wardens/Hawkes/Tavs/WOLs/etc.)

Yes! Malleable protagonists are allowed. We will only allow one malleable protagonist from each canon in game at any one time. Malleable protagonists will be asked to apply using the Original Character application so we can get a better understanding of who they are as a character.

Can I app an Original Character?

Yes! Original Characters are allowed. Original Characters also include characters made for larger pre-made systems/universes such as Dungeons & Dragons Characters, World of Warcraft Characters, Vampire the Masquerade Characters, etc. Fandom Original Characters are not allowed.

Can I app an AU version of a character? What about duplicates?

Only Canon AU versions of characters are allowed. Exact duplicates of characters (the same characters from the same canon) are not allowed. However, if multiple versions of a character exist across multiple canons or Canon AUs, then up to three versions of a character may be in game at the same time. For example, if there were a Steve Rogers from MCU in the game, then a Steve Rogers from 616 Comics Canon could app as well as Steve Rogers from the Marvel What If series.

What about CRAUs?

We accept CRAU versions of characters, however any CRAU is limited to one previous game’s worth of memories and experiences only.

Can I app historical people?

Real people from history are not appable, unless they are a heavily fictionalized version. As an example, Abraham Lincoln is not applicable, but Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter is. Mods reserve the right to deny applications for fictionalized historical people if they are offensive or otherwise inappropriate for the setting.

Can I app a non-humanoid character?

You can! With a few small tweaks. Any character that is mechanical/technological will be changed. Technology and magic do not get along, so in order for your character to survive in the Fae realm, they will be subtly remade. They may look very much like their canon selves but will be made from some more organic material – plant, fungus, enchanted earth, stone, etc. Characters too large to fit into human-sized structures will also be sized down. Non-humanoid characters can also be given a humanoid form, flesh and blood and ostensibly alive. Player’s choice. Please indicate which option you choose on your application.

Can I app a character from post death?

Sure can! Surprise, they’re alive again! How lucky. Any life threatening injuries will be healed, but whether your character is healed completely or just enough not to die immediately upon arrival is entirely up to you.

Character Questions

What does my character have with them when they arrive?

Characters only arrive with the clothes on their backs and the change in their pockets. Armor and weapons have mysteriously disappeared to keep mischievous little fae from getting them and hurting each other without permission. They can be purchased via rewards, but any Iron or Steel based items will mysteriously be changed to silver, bronze, copper, gold or titanium.

What about my powers?

Canon abilities will be nerfed completely to render everyone down to full human levels. Canon abilities may be earned back through rewards. The more you work with the fae, the better chance you have for being rewarded by the Queens’ handmaiden with what you want. Sounds easy, right?

What about regained powers?

So you miss having your magic or superhuman abilities? Cool. Luckily, the Fae love making bargains. Ask nicely and play nicely, as magical actions have magical consequences. Even once regained, powers will be slightly nerfed as follows: no game breaking, no physical destruction of an area bigger than one building, teleportation powers are limited to moving within the Fae Wild (Characters cannot generally teleport into the Summer or Winter Courts, though events may temporarily change this). Any mind-reading or mind/mood controlling powers will not be nerfed in character but require strict out of character consent from other player characters. The chances of mind reading or mind/mood control working on NPCs is very low for all but the lowest level Fae denizens.

Can I bring my pet?

Sadly, characters all arrive alone. However! Pets can be purchased via rewards points. In addition, participation in certain events will grant your character the right to petition the Handmaiden without rewards points payment.

My character has a special diet/can't be in the sun, etc.!

Okay, Astarion. Your character will find all special requirements to survive available for purchase and barter the same as any other sort of nutrition. And it’s a magical sun, so you won’t have to worry about burning up into a big pile of ash! Any other accommodations can be discussed, but you can generally assume that the fae will want to make sure their new…toys don’t die. Right away, that is.

Can I get down and dirty? What’s the policy for that?

Since this game is 18+, we know that some people are going to want to have sexy and smutty things. That’s fine. We only ask that you use appropriate warnings and labels for things. Minor characters under 16 should NOT be involved in any sexual situations . Anyone found breaking this rule will be punished accordingly.

Can I sleep with the fae/The Handmaiden/The Sidhe Queens?

Attempts to seduce any of the members of the Queens' courts will be denied. Probably for the best. I heard they've eaten past lovers. The other fae that roam in the Fae Wild will turn down players. You might want to just stick to the other players.

Welcome to Faewild

Come a little closer for your rewards. The Handmaiden is just ahead.

'You find yourself wandering through a forest of strange colors. The last thing you remember is a strange ring of mushrooms in a riot of shades, singing to you in ethereal tones, tempting you and telling you to step in the midst them to discover riches beyond measure. As you do, a bright white light flashes before your eyes. When your sight returns, the forest of bizarre trees and plants looms before and around you.

As you step forward, laughter—deep and menacing and also light and tinkling—follows your footsteps. Yelling, questioning, gets you nowhere. Only a narrow path of stones allows you to avoid the foliage that seems to want to eat you alive. If you step off of the path, you find vines wrap around your legs, dragging you into the dark interior of the forest, until you wake up later, your body covered in strange symbols that will disappear after a few days. For those wise enough to not tempt fate and stay on the path, soft blue lights—fairies of indeterminate sex—appear, and beckon you to follow them down the path through the trees. A few hours of walking brings you to a village of stone and wooden thatched houses that appear as if they're both brand new and ancient at the same time.

A creature that at once appears to be monstrously beautiful and hideously decrepit steps forward to greet you, holding out a small silver hand mirror with a smile that makes your blood run cold (if you have any sense). "Welcome to the Fae Wild, child. This is the domain of the Handmaiden of the Sidhe Queens. Come with me. The others are waiting. All will be explained once we are gathered." It is then that you see the others spoken of, people that look almost.... normal and just as confused and angry as you are.

Dare you step forward to learn your fate?'

Fae Wild is a game that takes inspiration from a lot of different mediums (Dungeons & Dragons, The Dresden Files, Irish Folklore) and pays homage to some games on DWRP that are no longer active.
Characters find themselves in a part of the Fae Realm that exists between the Winter and Summer Courts ruled by the mysterious Handmaiden. Both Sidhe Queens and those belonging to their courts gather here in a neutral space for fun and games. Your character is here to entertain them. And if you should find yourself found worthy, perhaps you might even be used to further their agenda. As vicious as they are beautiful, the fae cannot lie, but the truth is always in flux.
