Introduction Corruptive Shadow

While most that think of the Feywild think of the Seelie
courts, lands of bountiful beauty and blessings, there is a
second side to the coin. The Unseelie court, led by the
Queen of Air and Darkness, is a land of grotesque beauty
and twisted amalgamations of forest life. There, you find
yourself standing before one of the hand-picked generals
of the Unseelie Fey, blessed by the Queen herself. As he
draws his shortsword, he begins to cast a spell, and pure
fear washes over you as you see the power the Unseelie
truly holds.
The ‘Legends of the Unseelie’ is fully packed with new
Unseelie Fey themed content to add to your D&D 5e
Games. You come across a cave, lit by glowing purple
flowers, surrounded by dark, grotesque trees. This
collection includes a new Item “Wreath of Charm
Immunity”, a new Spell “Spread Corruption”, a new
Monster “The Unseelie General”, and a new Dungeon
“Unseelie Encampment”. We hope you enjoy this
homebrew expansion for Dungeons and Dragons 5e.
5th-level Necromancy
Casting Time:​ 1 Action
Range:​ Touch
Components: ​V,S,M (A small black diamond)
Duration:​ 7 Days
Classes:​ Warlock
You attempt to impose a fey-like corruption upon the
target. When you cast this spell, the creature must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure,
corruption begins to overtake their body. Their
physical features become but a blank silhouette of their
race, signifying the shift. The target may remake the
saving throw at each dawn. If the target fails on the
seventh day, they become a corrupted husk of their
former selves, seeking only to serve the Queen of Air
and Darkness however they can. A Remove Curse or
Greater Restoration spell ends this effect.

Item
Wreath of Charm Immunity
Wondrous Item, Very Rare (requires attunement)
This wreath is created from various plants from the
Unseelie court of the fey wild, and imbued with
abjuration magic. While wearing this wreath, you gain
immunity to the charmed condition and charm effects.

Dungeon: Unseelie Encampment
Location: Feywild
Suggested Level: 8-10
This cave on the edges of the Unseelie realm is one of
many throughout the land of the fey. Simply by
wandering on the edge of the border between the
Seelie and Unseelie courts could result in you finding
one. Inside holds a small piece of what the Unseelie
court appears as. Lit by small globules of purple light,
alongside various flowers, this encampment of the
Unseelie fey is as beautiful as it is dangerous.
As the party enters the cave, there are three pathways to
take. The pathway to the left leads to the Ballroom, and
the path to the right leads to the Prison. The path to the
center leads to a fork in the cave. Taking the left path at
the fork will lead to either the Ballroom or the War
room, and taking the right path will lead to the Housing
Area.
1. Cave Entrance
Approaching this cave shows a small amount of the
purple flowers, blooming from seemingly dead bushes,
lighting a 25ft entrance. Two ​Hell Hounds​ guard the
entrance, noticing the party if they do not approach
stealthily. If the Hell Hounds notice the party first, they
will howl before engaging them, warning the
inhabitants of the cave of intruders.
2. Ballroom
This 60ft by 60ft octagonal room is the most lit in the
cave, bright purple globes of light shining down from
four pillars in the room, alongside more purple
blossoms around the perimeter. The room appears set
up as a ballroom, a place of revelry for those inside the
cave. In the center of the room, a large rune is carved
into the stone, meeting at each of the pillars. Standing
on the rune, enjoying some brevity, stands a pair of
Unseelie Elves (using the ​Shadow Dancer​ stat block),
dancing until they are aware of the party's presence.
If the Hell Hounds alerted the inhabitants of the cave as
the party entered, these Unseelie Elves will instead be at
the War Room, prepared to fight the party.
The rune holds a permanently engraved Otto’s
Irresistible Dance spell, cast on those who step within
the runes boundaries. The Unseelie fey use it as a way
to have music readily available to them whenever they
wish to dance, as well as capture any non-fey that may
wander into their camp. The rune may be destroyed by
breaking a piece of the stone the rune is carved into, or
by casting Dispel Magic at 6th level or higher. A
creature becomes immune to the spells effects for an
hour on a successful Wisdom Saving Throw (DC 17)
3. Prison
This room is a 45ft by 35ft prison area. At the
south-west and south-east of the room are four cells,
each holding the skeletons of the previous inhabitants.
Each cell is locked, and can be opened with the cell key,
or a DC 18 Dexterity (Thieves Tools) check. In the
south-west cell, wrapped in ragged clothes, a female elf
sits in the corner. Surprised by the entrance of
someone other than the Unseelie, she attempts to get
the parties attention, introducing herself as Sarya
Petren, with the promise of information if they free
her.
Sarya was captured while exploring the Ballroom,
stepping on the Otto’s Irresistible Dance rune, and
captured by one of the Unseelie Elves. Upon being
freed, she is able to offer the following information:
She is aware that there are four Unseelie Elves in the
cave, as well as an Unseelie General, a figure of great
power and importance to the Unseelie fey. She knows
the Unseelie General to be a figure hand-picked by the
Queen of Air and Darkness, to corrupt members of the
Seelie court into working for her. She expresses relief
that she hadn’t yet been approached by the general, as
she is uncertain what they would have done to corrupt
her.

5. War Room
This oval shaped room, lit by purple blooms and
floating globules of green and yellow light, disappears
into shadowy darkness near the halfway point of the
room. The shadows thin towards the entrance to the
room and imperceptibly leave the room, spreading to
the rest of the cave. A gloomy and foreboding feeling
begins to weigh on the party as stepping out from the
darkness, standing at the northern edge of the room, is
an Unseelie General, flanked by two hellhounds (And
