The Wild Beyond the Witchlight
The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is an adventure module set in the Feywild for the 5th edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
The Wild Beyond the Witchlight is designed to take player characters from level 1 to level 8 in the first 5th Edition adventure set in the Feywild. It is setting neutral allowing the Dungeon Master to transition the players from any starting location to the Prismeer, a Feywild domain of delight, via the Witchlight Carnival with two plot hook options. Prismeer has been fractured into three realms (Hither, Thither, and Yon) and is ruled by a coven of hags who overthrew the archfey Zybilna. The players traverse the domain to thwart each of the hags.
The book expands on game elements for the 5th edition, such as:
The new module was officially announced on June 7, 2021, however, this announcement occurred after the product was leaked through an Amazon product listing. It was released on September 21, 2021. The standard cover was designed by the artist Tyler Jacobson. An alternate art cover edition, designed by the artist Hydro74, of the book is only available through local game stores. The storytelling tools for the Dungeon Master are also included in the PDF supplement Domains of Delight (2021) which can be printed out. Chris Perkins, Wizards of the Coast principle story designer, is the book's story lead, and the writers are Stacey Allan, Will Doyle, and Ari Levitch.
SyFy Wire highlighted that "traditionally, the Feywild is an alternate plane of existence that mirrors and overlaps the material world. It’s a place of perpetual twilight that’s full of both enticing beauty and terrible dangers. Time works differently inside the Feywild, and those who leave may find what they thought was a brief venture instead lasted years — assuming they’re even able to leave at all. In short, it’s a good place for a magical and eerie adventure". On the Feywild setting, Perkins said:
The plane itself has almost a transformative quality. It responds to emotions. If you’re feeling sad and you sit next to a rock in the Feywild, an expression of sadness might actually form in the rock; or the clouds overhead might start to take the shape of a sad face. But if you’re feeling happy and joyous, and you’re dancing around in the glade, you might find that the flowers in the glade seem to sway or dance with you; that you can exert as a creature of the Feywild some influence over your environment. [...] It’s not all whimsy, but it’s not all dark, Brothers Grimm. It sort of blends it all together, but gives the DM license to kind of lean one way or the other, to sort of give it the atmosphere that they know their players will respond to most.
The book is also available as a digital product through the following Wizards of the Coast licensees: D&D Beyond, Fantasy Grounds, and Roll20.
The Unearthed Arcana series is the 5th edition public playtest where the content released is "a near-final draft of the rules"; parts of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight was developed through this playtest. New character races indigenous to the Feywild premiered in Folk of the Feywild (May 2021) which presented the Fairy, the Hobgoblin, the Owlfolk, and the Rabbitfolk as playable options. CBR reported that "Folk of the Feywild is the game's second Unearthed Arcana released after Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. Like the previous set of playtest material, Gothic Lineages, it makes use of a particular design philosophy implemented in Tasha's: the removal of race-specific ability score improvements".
