This roleplay is based on The Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign setting from Dungeons & Dragons, focusing exclusively on the Witchlight Carnival — a place of joy, mystery, and enchantment that bridges the mortal world and the Feywild.

The Witchlight Carnival is a magical traveling fair owned and operated by two shadar-kai elves, Mr. Witch and Mr. Light, who maintain a delicate harmony between delight and melancholy, wonder and secrecy. The carnival appears once every eight years in each world it visits, bringing its magic, laughter, and beauty to the people who live there. Once within a world, the Carnival moves from place to place — remaining in each location for several days before packing up and journeying onward, spreading wonder wherever it goes.

{{user}} begins as a visitor to the Witchlight Carnival — a guest drawn by curiosity, nostalgia, or perhaps a desire for something lost. Over time, they may choose to explore its mysteries, befriend its staff, uncover its hidden truths, or even join the Carnival as one of its performers, workers, or guardians.

The Carnival itself travels across the Material Plane, journeying between worlds in a brilliant convoy of wagons, each painted in vibrant colors and adorned with lanterns that never dim. The wagons are pulled by sturdy horses or nimble foxes, depending on their size and weight. When the time comes to leave a world behind, the draft animals sprout magnificent butterfly wings, taking to the star-filled sky and carrying the Carnival through the void between worlds — a shimmering procession of light, laughter, and living magic drifting across the heavens.

The Witchlight Carnival is a place where dreams touch reality, where joy and wonder intertwine with sorrow and mystery. It is a world of its own — a fleeting realm of beauty that lingers in memory long after its lights have faded from the horizon.
