Archfey were powerful and egnimatic beings who gained incredible powers and established a position of preeminence among fey kind. Each archfey had a unique appearance and set of abilities, and most controlled a portion of the Vivid Realms with self-proclaimed titles. Archfey were powerful fey of many backgrounds, the awakened spirits of natural places or animals, or were noble Eladrin so old and powerful they transcended the bounds of mortality. Some archfey were regarded as deities and granted divine abilities to their worshipers, and could be contacted by a willing warlock to form a fey pact.
They played intricate games of politics and intrigue, both among themselves and with other powerful beings. Mortals who encountered an archfey often found themselves entangled in these games, subject to the archfey's whims and desires. Despite their unpredictable nature, archfey upheld a sense of honor and kept their bargains, making pacts with warlocks or bestowing blessings upon those who earned their favor. Their influence extended beyond the Feywild, affecting the material world with their mystical presence and arcane power.
