“A liss. Don’t be an idiot. Go home. Live your life.
Find another way to free me. You have plent y of time

“ What a conundrum. My lady,” the rose man said,

doing their best to lead by offering wise counsel.
Inf luenced by the court’s inability to stray far or long from
their home trees, the province is the least aggressive of the
three ruling realms, instead turning its efforts to forming
an impregnable defense. With her sister dryads offering
support via their mutual coven hex, Vidria enlists treants
and twigjacks, as well as the region’s wild animals, to punish
any who come into her woods with ill intent. In an effort to
prevent a potentially ruinous conf lict, Vidria guides Macridi’s
lumberjacks to trees whose removal will lead to healthier
growth overall; though, she typically points them to darkwood
or paueliel trees in the neighboring provinces, sparing those
in her own home.

The Shimmering Court

Elophis (CG female nymph druid 14), the queen of the southern
Palakar Province, is widely considered the most powerful fey
in the entire forest, as much for the devotion she demands
from her subjects as for her own personal power. Dubbing her
retinue—largely other nymphs, but also a smattering of fauns
and the occasional rusalka—the Glimmering Court, Elophis
eschews the more advisory role of the Coven Court or the wild
behavior of the Horned Court.
As far as she’s concerned, all who enter her realm are subject
to her laws and whims, and woe to any who believe otherwise.
In return for proper tribute in the form of gold or other less
material treasures such as poems or songs, she allows Macridi’s
lumberjacks to carefully harvest the wealth of her province.
Other visitors to the province are wise to make similar

Ozquarr (CN male advanced grimple gremlinB4) dwells in a trash
bin in a shadowy nook halfway between the market gates and the
northern hillside. The opossum-like fey’s craggy-toothed grin is
creepy, but he has a genuine friendliness in his banter. Ozquarr
serves as a combination greeter/watchman/sanitation expert for
the marketplace. The third title is a bit of a misnomer as the mangy
creature is infested with gremlin lice, which he passes on to those
market-goers foolish enough to get too close to him or accept a
handshake from him.
Isenmussels (NE male kechB3 rogue 2) is a powerfully-built
specimen of his race who provides an added level of security to the
marketplace. The leering shirtless brute spends most of his time
hidden amongst the light foliage of Squallshield Hill, fingering
his top-notch (masterwork) composite bow. He makes hourly
forays through the stalls to grin humorlessly at the customers and
occasionally make his mighty kech pecs dance, both to intimidate
would-be thieves and impress the ladies. He resents when Polly
shows him which customers to watch, shooing the bird-fey away
dismissively for implying he can’t do his job. As a result, the two
guardians dislike one another.
Tabletalk, a mimicB, also calls the market home. It usually takes
the form of a large weapons display table. The creature uses its
adhesive to lock the exhibited wares in place until Gruepert gives
the command to release one or more pieces for closer examination
or sale. Tabletalk has been ordered to call out an alarm if someone
persistently attempts to pry an item from its grasp or succeeds in
doing so. Its first priority, though, is to keep the other display items
safe, so it isn’t allowed to grapple would-be thieves.

“It is anything but worthless, Sir Losthome...” Khazgor's

I'm sure its feelings will grow back.”
“Where has my sister gone? And why do you keep calling me
that?”
“Of the former, I do not know. Of the latter, it is simply
because you told me to.”
“She was stolen away from our home. Abducted before my
eyes. And you don't even know where she went? Or when?”
“Nonsense, she departed your realm willingly. Certainly, you
of all people should know that. You are the one that agreed to
the bargain.”
The remark hung heavy in the air before Khazgor spoke,
his voice slow and deliberate. “I have done no such thing. Nor
would I ever.”
“Such absolute conviction! Admirable, if false. You, dwarf,
should bring this matter before the Many if it bothers you so.”
“So I've heard.” It was impossible to wander the Starcatcher
Mountains without hearing the praises of Shyka, the timeless
being that inhabited the House of Eternity. It was a citadel which
stood among the stars above the mountains, visible on some
days more than others, attached to the surrounding realm by a
maze of unreachable trails. Khazgor had tried for months to find
a path that did not veer away as it neared the peaks.
“You will know them,” the figure said simply, “and they will
know you. They have seen all that ever was and ever will be. In
truth, they are the ones that left your pendant here for you to
reclaim.”
“That's impossible. It was my sister! You said as much
yourself.”
“It can be both, and indeed it is. Your sister, as she once was,
is now one with the Many. A proud service in exchange for a
simple favor. But you already knew that. Or perhaps you will?”
For the first time in many years, the First World had left
Khazgor speechless.
He left, unsure what more to ask the puzzling sage with so
little understanding of time. At least now he knew who to blame
for his imprisonment upon the First World; none but himself
and his sister. One mountaineer with insatiable wanderlust
and a curious scholar turned timeless trickster.
He gripped his family's talisman, a small piece of a home he
was so estranged from. “I'd never had a chance,” he whispered
to himself. “What in the gods' name could have driven me to
sell us to this cursed place...”
He turned the amulet over in his hands as he recalled that
fateful night. It was only then that he saw the runes inscribed
onto the back. Too fine to be done with even dwarvish hands,
each measured no more than a fraction of an inch across. More
puzzlingly, it looked as though they were still being carved at
that very moment. The stone jittered ever so slightly beneath
some unseen craftsman's chisel, carving and re-carving
unfamiliar words into the stone.
Slowly a greater pattern emerged among the illegible masses;
runes that he knew by heart: His name, his sister's name, and
an old mantra passed down in their family.
“Time and Trail are navigable only by the most
determined.” X

beneath. The treant is not without its concerns, as the island attracts
many predators and sometimes drifts through frigid waters and
tumultuous storms. Still, it tries to greet all visitors with the wisdom
and patience of the ages.

 T he Seasonal Courts
By Andre Roy
Art by Catherine Batka

T he fey, creatures caught at the intersection of chaos and

nature, feel the inf luence of the changing seasons the
same as most plants and animals. In some, the changing of
the seasons may affect their personality, while others may
undergo physical changes. Some voluntarily opt to adjust their
physical appearance (usually a subtle shading of the hair, eyes,
or skin color) to match a season, favoring one over the others.
Those fey that embrace a particular season may elect to pledge
themselves to one of the four separate Seasonal Courts.
Like most fey activities, these Seasonal Courts can be
either very formal affairs or very informal ones. In some
areas, the Kings and Queens of the Seasons work together
in succession. In others, conf lict arises between the seasonal
courts and they actively oppose and undermine each other. In
any given area, where the Courts hold sway, there are usually
a mix of Court-aligned fey and fey bearing no allegiance
to the Seasonal Courts. Court-aligned fey can also switch
Courts, either with the change of the seasons or as the mood
strikes them, adding an extra element of unpredictability to
an already mercurial creature.

Creating a Seasonal Court Creature

"Seasonal Court" is an inherited or acquired template that can
be added to any living intelligent creature with the fey type,
or at the GM’s discretion, to creatures with the leshy or gnome
subtype. Each Seasonal Court grants the creature the use of new
spells. Changing Courts also changes the Court template used
and choosing to stop attending a Court removes the template.
The creature’s caster level equals the creature's HD (or the
caster level of the base creature's spell-like abilities, whichever
is higher). A Seasonal Court creature retains the base creature's
statistics and special abilities except as noted below.

Spring Court
Energetic, curious, and impulsive best describe the fey
associated with the Spring Court. They tend to be benevolent
and helpful as they focus on the aspects of creation, rebirth,
renewal, and new life that spring represents. They will do
everything they can to protect natural growth and birth.
Spring Court fey try to avoid combat, favoring non-lethal
solutions whenever possible. Spellcasting fey will favor
nature, creation, and healing magic.
