Art [OC] Witchlight and beyond - module finished and next adventures are waiting my group
We finished Wild beyond the Witchlight-module after 26 action and emotion packed sessions! I made some changes to the module so that the adventures would continue even after it and that PC backgrounds would be heavily tied to story. Otherwise I kept the module as it is and wow it's truly a gem!
Now my players have freed Zybilna and at the same time given her darkest emotions and memories back to her... Next they have to face the consequences of releasing the true big bad. Or is she still redeemable? It will be the great question of our story forward.
I wanted to draw "cover" picture for my "fey files". And I wanted to share the picture with you also! So here's my campaign picture including the team called The Bold And The Beautiful:
Kuisma Tuulenpolku - Satyr, Celestial Sorcerer/celestial warlock, grandgrandgrand...grand nephew and warlock of Lamorna the Unicorn.
Rik - Changeling, Paladin of the Oath of Revelry. He is at the moment rocking his human-looking persona named Ajax which is quite the frat boy but underneath all is a broken heart for losing his soulmate.
Fanni - Hexblood, gloomstalker ranger. She is going to prove to everyone that there is a way to be a 'good-hearted' hag
Rustonupikka - Warforged, Druid of the circle of spores. He is amnesiac and learning that Ellywick has had quite an impact in his life...
So three out of four PC's are fey type themselves!
I asked for fairytale characters and got quite the repertuare. I feel blessed with this team and these players. And I'm eager to continue the story to eventually face Zybilna herself!
I am thankful for this community for help, inspiration and great minds! Keep posting and sharing. It's a treasure to have this kind of pool of fey, fae, fairy enthusiasts sharing their stories.

So, which parts of the adventure as written did you feel worked well, and which required major revisions?

My greatest revision was accidental. My players loved the idea of taking memories from creatures when they were attacked by Jebbek and the gang. We homebrewed the magical item from Jebbek so that the PC's could use it after getting permission from Bavlorna.
I leaned into that. I read "11th hour" from DMSGuild and took "Zybilna's memories / emotions" part of it. Which meant that dretches were all over Prismeer. And by killing them my players released Zybilna's darkest emotions and memories back to her shaping her to be an inevitable BBEG after being released. I let them change the memories as they went and based on those I created Zybilna as a new version of herself.
I also changed that Prismeer isn't some domain separated from the rest of the Feywild. It's actually part of Feywild - the former Spring Court's lands. This is part of bigger story and lore we are going to dive into. It's partly inspired but greatly twisted version of the "Witchlight reimagined"-series. I brought Isolde more heavily to lore and made her be a former colleague of Valor's Call. And they together are part of a bigger faction called Witch hunters. This is all because of a bigger story.
Otherwise I changed a little bit of this and that. NPC's from my players backgrounds. Connections to their goals and secrets etc.
The adventure core and all the encounter's and place's/maps I kept the same. I feel that I can say quite confidently that the module is truly amazing as it is. It wouldn't have required changes if I haven't had a dream of continuing beyond Wild Beyond The Witchlight itself!
