Campaign Pitch: The Mad Dreams of Cryonax
Reading over my travelogue deep diving the Paraelemental Plane of Ice AKA Frostfell, I began to see pieces that would make a great campaign. There are so many juicy tidbits to be gobbled up by an attentive DM and it makes a great backdrop for storytelling. But, as with many elemental planes, it seems aContinue reading “Campaign Pitch: The Mad Dreams of Cryonax”

She now holds court of her own in either another part of the Feywild or, as older editions state, in Pandemonium.
Forgotten Lore: Legacy of the Queen of Air and Darkness
What starts here will probably continue into a series of articles; laying out an investigation I did when studying the varying courts of the Fey. It was not my intention to get stuck down the rabbit hole of this particular Fey Goddess, but, as it is with most of my obsessive research, it was as inevitable as it was impossibly deep. This is the chronicles of a deep dive that I have not returned fully from yet.
