About the adventure

Welcome to Wild Beyond the Witchlight: Twilight at Eventide an adventure designed for introducing the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Rules to both novice and veteran gamers alike. If you like performance, grandeur, mysteries and intrigue, and memorable characters - this event is for you. We'll be waiting. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is a wickedly whimsical adventure set in the Feywild, the Plane of Faerie. Visit the Witchlight Carnival, a magical extravaganza that touches down on Faerûn only once every eight years, and journey into a fantastical domain of delight to reconnect with your long forgotten childhood dreams! The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is one of the most outstanding and vibrant adventures by the Wizards of the Coast. It is Chris Perkins' personal passion project and a love letter to all the theater kids of D&D, to all of the players who've been looking for the perfect adventure to play with their children, and for those of us who would like to be a little silly and childish ourselves every now and then! In the village of Eventide, the walls separating the settlement from the Feywild are weak. And strange creatures stalk the surrounding forests. Dark forms worship their demigod in hidden caves. A darkling elder has returned to take what was promised to him. And people enter the woods never to return. The village is in need of heroes. Will you answer the call? The Fey are mysterious and Unknowable, who can tell what their motivations are and what is really going on? Next would be the Witchlight carnival! A whimsical and wondrously mysterious occurrence that appears in each realm only once every 8 years, and then it vanishes without a trace. Entice your whimsical curiosities, try out games, rides, contests, and be delighted and entertained by the most skillful magical show in all the Realms. But do be clever and not forget to pay attention amongst all the ruckus, keep an ear on the grapevine and rumormill as the whispers buzz through the festive merriment...Don't miss clues to unearth as you delve into some hidden mysteries lurking behind the veils of the festival. Firstly, fun is the name of the game! This adventure includes a combination of roleplay, exploration, discovery, combat encounters and merriment. The Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure is a mini-campaign from 1st level and can continue through the whole Adventure path to 8th level if so wished.
