Few individuals have managed to survive the alien world of the Wildes, but those who have strictly adhered to the rules of the realm. A catastrophic string of trial and error has revealed the following wisdom for any mortals brave (or desperate) enough to travel in the faerie realm.
* Landscape Shifts
* To reach a destination, never change direction.
* Falling asleep in the Wildes is dangerous.
* All food and drink in the area can lead to death or enchantment.
* Fey are obsessed with politeness and etiquette.
* Never accept anything from a faerie.
* Speaking the name of a fey aloud will draw their attention.

{{refstart}}The Wildes is an ever-changing realm ruled by faerie creatures. While most characters aren’t from the Wildes…, its influence is felt in every corner of the {{5ep|Eldrin Empire}}. The Wildes is the closest realm to the mortal one and the easiest to access.{{refend|<ref name="vmcg.101">{{Cite Pub|Venture Maidens Campaign Guide|pages=101}} Licensed: © Wizards of the Coast.</ref>}}

==Nature of the Wildes==
{{refstart}}Every realm in {{5ep|the Planes|the Planes}} is governed by a unique set of laws that sculpt reality. While the laws of nature in the {{5ep|Mortal Realm (The Planes)|Mortal Realm}} are nearly identical to those of planet earth, the realm of faerie has several major deviations from these familiar principles.{{refend|<ref name="vmcg.101" />}}

===Geography===
{{refstart}}…The arrangement of the Wildes is continually in flux. Its borders grow and shrink… but its interior geography also changes based on the willpower of its residents. …Creatures’ desires cause locations to grow, shrink, shift, swap, change, or appear at an accelerated pace. Creatures born in the Wildes possess an innate understanding of navigating the ever-changing landscape, but travelers from other realms quickly become lost without assistance. Certain areas of the Wildes, like {{5eplc|Demesne}}s and dwellings, are more solidly fixed, but the land in between is prone to change each hour.{{refend|<ref name="vmcg.101" />}}

===Environment===
{{refstart}}Fey are creatures of instinct and imagination, unconcerned by the daily needs that plague mortal existence. …The environment of the Wildes [are] a realm dominated by awesome stretches of untamed nature. Every biome… exists somewhere in the Wildes. …Due to the shifting landscape, it is impossible to say with certainty what the environment of the Wildes will be when a creature enters, but it is guaranteed to have an abundance of thriving flora and fauna.{{refend|<ref name="vmcg.101" />}}

===Life and Death===
{{refstart}}Fey are immortal, born fully grown, and do not age. Faeries of the Wildes do not require food, water, or air to live (though they enjoy all three) and only die if slain. Fey do not sexually reproduce as mortals do (though many enjoy recreational sex). Faeries who want children must adopt them or craft a special magical object called an {{5eplc|Effigy}}… Whenever a faerie dies in the Wildes, the deceased’s soul may travel into the nearest effigy, transforming the vessel into a living faerie. …Effigies typically resemble hyperrealistic dolls or sculptures. If a soul released by death is not drawn into an effigy, it feeds back into the environment of the Wildes, and a new fey is born through a process called “sprouting.”

If a fey is killed, its body rapidly decays before disappearing into a swirl of autumn leaves, a hail of sparkles, or some other appropriate harmless effect. If the death happens within the bounds of the faerie realm, the fey’s soul is born again in one of the ways
previously described. If the fey dies outside the faerie realm, its soul cannot return to the Wildes, and it is lost forever.{{refend|<ref name="vmcg.101102">{{pub|VMCG}} p.101-102.</ref>}}
