Hey all. 4e player here. This is a fluff thing, so it shouldn't matter too much.
I'm playing a Half-Elf Bard. He's more Half-Eladrin, but we don't have those, so I just reflavored him. I'm working on his background right now...
He's the son of an Eladrin noble (I said he was marquis, it sounded Eladrin-y), who'd had a fling with a human woman or something. Mom's out of the picture, but he lives with his father and Half-Sister, in a city that's predominantly Eladrin. So there's that for angle right there. Eventually he decides to leave because he doesn't belong, and he ends up working as a sellsword when he joins the party, and generally lives to kill stuff for the awesome stories he can tell afterward.
But while I was picking through one of the books, I read about the Feywild. So I thought to myself, what if he ended up stuck there for a time? I thought, what if his sister used some kind of Fey thing to send him there for an undisclosed period of time? What happens when a person is stranded in the Feywild? What would they need to survive? Could a lone PC (well, before becoming an adventurer) survive for long? Does long term exposure have any effects on a person?
