What You Will Find Inside The

Faerie Passions
Adventures in the wild lands at the edge of civilization and beyond are often characterized by a specific type
of creature, but one of the most adaptable creature types are faeries and fairy tale creatures of every kind. While
most fantasy worlds have a faerie forest somewhere, creatures of the fey can live anywhere, since they are not really
from the wilderness at all, but instead reside in a mystical realm just beyond ours, where colors are brighter, honor
is dearer, and passions burn with a fire mortals can scarcely imagine. A campaign where the fey are featured can
certainly include plenty of other creatures, from trolls to dragons, undead warlords to giant owlbears, as well as
ordinary humans of rival kingdoms, but the touch of the fey is something that can become ubiquitous in a campaign,
at times friendly and at other times decidedly not, but appearing often enough to make it feel like another fairy is
always lurking around the next corner or under the next flower. Faerie Passions provides new character options
and also a wealth of advice to help enrich and expand the role played by the fey in your campaign, with a special
eye towards how faerie creatures interact with mortals, exploring the untamable passions that roil and surge within
their wild hearts, and what that means for the characters in your campaign.

If you enjoy introducing fey foes and influences into your campaign, consider picking up the richly detailed
and evocatively described monsters drawing upon the myths and legends of the real world with a double dose of
fantastic flair in Beasts of Legend: Coldwood Codex and the upcoming Boreal Bestiary and beyond, with an even
deeper exploration of fey influence in the world in Faerie Mysteries. The Legendary Games tradition is to combine
rich story and background, innovative layout, beautiful aesthetics, and excellence in design that is second to none,
allowing you to enliven and enrich your campaign in amazing and exciting ways. This product is the latest in that
tradition, and we hope you enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed making it. Game on!

head, for they detest darkness and the creatures that
dwell in it, yet they themselves are sadistic and evil.
They particularly hate darkmantles, dwarves and
creatures from the Plane of Shadow, and given the time,
they enjoy torturing such creatures to death if they can

Where Fey and Mortals Meet!
Faerie Passions is a fantastical resource for integrating the fey
into 5th Edition campaigns whether you are a player or GM! When
immortal infatuation breaks forth into the world of mortals, Faerie
Passions brings you advice and optional rules for GMs, exploring the
otherworldly mindset of the fey and their motivations when interacting
with mortals and a world that is not their own. You’ll find brand-new
creatures like the lurker in light and vodyanoi and detailed personalities
for existing fey ready to introduce wonder and faerie glamour into any
5E campaign, but this book is not just for GMs, as players will also find
several new fey-themed character archetypes and sorcerous origins
tied to a faerie legacy. However you want to integrate fey themes and
influence into your 5th Edition game, Faerie Passions has a ton of great
material to help Make Your Game Legendary!
