Thelanis, also known as the Faerie Court, is one of the planes. It is similar to both Eberron and Lamannia in that it bears untamed expanses of rugged forests and crystal-clear waters and is dotted with small settlements. Arcane spells are enhanced on Thelanis and time flows differently. Thelanis is home to the fey, most notably the eladrin and their feyspires.[1][2]
Description[]
Thelanis is one expansive lush forest, with trees of enchanting beauty surrounded by mesmerizing lights. Phosphorescence gleams on plants and stones, lighting the eternal twilight of the plane, while the sky is full of strange stars.[1]
Every day in Thelanis equals a week on the Material Plane, but this time catches up to any person traveling back to the Material Plane. If one spends too much time on Thelanis, moving back to Eberron might suddenly kill the person of old age.[1]
Inhabitants[]
The nymph queen Ellida of Thelanis holds court in Xen'drik with her champion, the satyr Tioboid, and some pixies and pets.
- The most populous of inhabitants of Thelanis are the eladrin and the gnomes, both of which live divided amongst the Summer and Winter Courts. They live amongst lush feyspires.[1][2][3]
- Other fey inhabit Thelanis, including banshraes, dryads, dusklings, killoran, nymphs, petals, satyrs, and sprites.[1][4][5]
- Some outsiders also call Thelanis home, including lillends, sylphs, and tritons.[1]
- Some plant creatures are from Thelanis, like oaken defenders.[6]
- The Greensinger druids travel from Eberron to Thelanis as part of their druid training.[7]
Manifest Zones[]
- The western part of the Towering Wood in the Eldeen Reaches possesses a manifest zone, called the Twilight Demesne.[6]
- The Ruins of Pelmarane in the Demon Wastes.[8]
Effects on Eberron[]
Coterminous[]
When Thelanis is coterminous to the Material Plane, faerie rings and faerie mounds can be found, often accompanied by mysterious lights. The boundary between the planes is thin and passage in either direction can occur easily. The fey of Thelanis lure mortals to their native realm during this time, though for reasons of mischief moreso than reasons of maliciousness.[1]
During coterminous periods, the feyspires of the eladrin would phase into existence on Eberron. However, once the Day of Mourning occurred, the feyspires were stuck on Eberron and are unable to return to Thelanis.[2]
Remote[]
When Thelanis is remote, fey creatures grow less populous and their power fades.[1]
