Xanthar's Guide - Circle of Dreams Druid effectively confirmed

[Millstone85]

I disagree the Feywild is wild natural magic at it's core. It's unpredictable and wild just like nature.

More like a wild magic surge.

See, the Feywild, with that name and the symmetry with the Shadowfell, was introduced in 4e, and 4e had a telling piece of lore regarding eladrin and elves.

Eladrin are close cousins to the elves and are occasionally called high elves or gray elves. Eladrin favor the Feywild and arcane magic more than elves do, but the two races hold each other in high regard. They share a burning hatred for the third branch of their race—the drow.

At the dawn of creation, elves and eladrin were a single race dwelling both in the Feywild and in the world, and passing freely between the two. When the drow rebelled against their kin, under the leadership of the god Lolth, the resulting battles tore the fey kingdoms asunder. Ties between the peoples of the Feywild and the world grew tenuous, and eventually the elves and eladrin grew into two distinct races. Elves are descended from those who lived primarily in the world, and they no longer dream of the Feywild. They love the forests and wilds of the world that they have made their home.

This is where I got the impression that regarding the Feywild as the triumph of nature magic would be a mistake. Wood elves, which 4e just called elves, embraced nature by severing their ties with the Feywild.

Then again, Heroes of the Feywild gave us this description of the place...

The Feywild is a realm of magic; this much anyone who has ever heard a fairy tale knows. The very substance of the plane is infused with arcane magic, and many of the creatures that inhabit the realm are so tightly bound to arcane power that it is a natural and instinctive part of their very being. As such, it should come as no surprise that those who hail from, and venture into, the Feywild often develop a natural aptitude for arcane magic.

However, the Feywild is also a wild and verdant place where primeval natural landscapes remain untouched since their creation. Moreover, the influence of the Feywild spills over into the mortal world at fey crossings. Many of those who live on the borders of the Feywild and the natural world develop a rapport with primal spirits, emboldened by the verdant growth the Feywild fosters.

which I guess would just make it a place of great magic in general.

Edit:

I disagree... i see both the Shadowfell and Feywild as 'parts' of the world, normally inaccessible... the Shadowfell the part 'too close' to negative energy, and the Feywild is the part 'too close' to positive energy.

Eh, you are right. Druids wouldn't despise the Feywild, just like they wouldn't despise the part of the Plane of Fire that ressembles the Material. It is all part of the balance.

Still, druids would probably consider the Material to be where the balance is realized, and superior for it.
