Fantasy Heartbreak Workshop

 The following items are condensed from dreams, impressions, and tales drifting through the Feywild, or in similar fairy or dream realms. While items with similar effects may be created by mortal magicians, there is no known way to create these specific items. They must be found among fey and dreams, or obtained from another owner. Within a fey realm, the Wings of Thistledown and Wand of Whimsy are often found as part of a stereotypical fairy costume for dolls.  But, since they are normally found in the toy chests of fey giants, the magical items in question will be scaled to work well for most small and medium creatures. Wings of Thistledown These are small, costume wings which go on a character's back. The wings may be made of nearly any lightweight material including starched fabric, stiff paper, feathers, wire and gauze, or tufts of cotton. They may attach via separate straps, or be sewn into an outfit of particolored leotard and crinoline tutu.  When the wings are ...

If you tarry for more than a few seconds, the soothing buzz makes you fuzzy in the head and the cloying sweet smell is overpowering. And you find you can go inside the hive, even though it should be too small for you.  ...

In the Owl Light setting the "Elf" body type seems to have been some sort of standard template used by the gods and powers in ancient times to create lithe, skilled beings.  Elves from other worlds in many cases appear to have arisen over the course of aeons as part of natural evolution in those places, sometimes as precursors to humans or co-sentients on their worlds. But the crop of Elves (the Eld) currently predominant on Hypethra mostly originate from the Netherworld.  In this realm the dreams and thoughts of all sentient creatures accumulate, peopling the realm with every imaginable permutation of archetype and narrative, and sweeping the landscape with gradual but ceaseless changes as the whims of psychic currents dictate. Prodigal Eld The Prodigal Eld are those creatures fresh sprung from this tumult, still given over to the Netherworld's bizarre currents.  Free will is a novel concept to most Prodigal Eld, but their convictions are backed by the strength of worlds...
