Grim Fairy Tales

Explore the First World, the legendary realm of the fey, where reality reinvents itself and strange creatures peddle stranger wares to the unwary. Learn about the godlike Eldest who rule this plane, and how to navigate their fairy courts. Delve for legendary treasures in locations too weird for mortal lands, study the lost origin of gnomes, and bargain with ageless adversaries in a realm where death is seen as a game. Whatever you do, don't blink—because nothing in the First World stays the same for long.

Inside this book, you'll find:

  • Detailed information on all the Eldest, including overviews of their strongholds and magical boons for their worshipers.
  • Dozens of bizarre fey adventure locations, from the legendary Witchmarket to the Chittering Tabernacle, with secret histories, maps of prominent cities, and more.
  • The new feysworn prestige class, allowing you to harness the power of the fairy lords.
  • New spells and magic items to help you survive the First World, as well as rules for spellcasting in the fey realm and bending the landscape itself to your will.
  • Six new fey monsters, including the skull-headed escorite and the technology-trashing bulabar, plus a new First World template and suggestions to help you create unique fey foes on the fly.

Pathfinder Campaign Setting: The First World, Realm of the Fey is intended for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Pathfinder campaign setting, but can easily be used in any fantasy world.

Not worth the cost

2/5 —

For the little you get it is simply not worth the cost. There is a lot of skimming over, but not a lot of detail for my taste. Playable fey races would have been nice.

If you only buy one Pathfinder product this year...

5/5 —

...buy this one twice and give the extra to someone you really like.

This campaign setting guide does a fantastic job of describing the paradoxes of the First World. The descriptions of the Eldest manage to flesh them out as deities, while at the same time maintaining their maddening ambiguities and mystery. The locale descriptions are the same way--an "M.C. Escher meets Hieronymous Bosch" treasure trove of wild verbal imagery.

I've always liked the fey in Pathfinder, and this book only made me love them more.

And the artwork... wow, the artwork. Just. Wow. I wish there were poster prints available of some of the images inside.

Consider this a five woot! review.

Creativity in Spades

5/5 —

There's stuff in here that while reading it, I'd often look away and wonder how they managed to think up something so creative. This type of high fantasy world is wonderful and there's so much contained on the relatively small amount of pages on here. I've never written a review on anything on this site, but this compelled me to do so.

The only problem is getting the players there without seeming like I'm shoe-horning it in just because I wanna play around in the First World :P

So much awesome

5/5 —

The flavor in this book just oozes. It's really good. REALLY GOOD.

How the Fey Realm came to be, how it operates, locations, demigods that 'run the place', and a reason why gnomes left back in the day.

This is the first Campaign Setting book that I had trouble putting down when reading, it was so engrossing.

5 stars. Awesome.

Buy this now

5/5 —

Everything about this book is great. The high level background on the First World (time, magic, fey immortality, history) is comprehensive and surprisingly detailed given the limited space they had to work with. The section on the Eldest is fascinating and sets them apart from your ordinary demigods, plus the fey obedience boons are generally very strong, inventive, and thematic. The gazetteer of First World locations provides dozens of great ideas to develop your own adventure locations, and the Bestiary adds several interesting and creative new critters to serve as allies or adversaries.

If it was like the ST:TOS show, Kirk would be hooking up with the fey-of-the-week and be spawning new half-fey & fey-touched beings all across the First World.

Kirk, the Father of Starfleet.

And that's not because of his ability as a starship commander. :P

Grey,

So if Kirk were in Pathfinder, would he be the father of half breeds?

Donald,

I think you need to start rolling me some d20s there...

This sounds like a gnomish/protean/fey legendary series of stories/Aesops, kinda like a Prometheus-version of Johnny Appleseed.

Interesting! I'll have to make notes now. Thanks Ambrosia! :)

I hope Goblin Markets are covered! <3

Goblin markets? Do you mean the Witchmarket?

The very same!

I seem to remember a discussion that there was a (very) small bit on the Witchmarket in Black Markets, but I don't have that PDF yet. Hopefully this book will have something meaty on it.

Maybe we will find out more about this book during Gen Con.

I wonder if wood kineticists might receive some minor boosts in here, since their powers are partially tied to the pockets of energy tied to the first world. I'm not exactly asking for much. just some love for an element that has been greatly neglected since its inception. Such as providing it with some extra utility, damaging abilities or even unique ways to improve its already existent tool set.

And while i do know about some of the 3rd party books, genuine paizo support is more preferable to me in the long run.

This book seems like it's intended to fit the format of the Books of the Damned and Chronicles of the Righteous, both of which were fairly skimpy on player options - a prestige class, a small number of magic items and spells - so...I wouldn't get your hopes up here...

Liberty's Edge

Well i'll just keep hoping that paizo gets round to it at some point.

The odds of a player companion book completely devoted to the kineticist is highly unlikely though one can dream:)

As for this book I am much more interested in the world building stuff then the crunch.

*is also interested in the art and world building than the crunch*

Though more dragons would be nice. :)

Ok, I'm exciting, this is the content I wait the most since I start Pathinder and even more since I discovered Kingmaker.

Sweet! Thanks James Sutter! :D

Yeah, art for everyone...well the eldest anyway:)

Dragon,

They're the ones I care the most about.

November just can't get here soon enough.

Dragon,

I need to survive September first... but yes I'd love more info on this soon!

Maybe, just maybe, we will see stats for the wood elemental in this book.

Dragon,

You and your crazy wood obsessions...

I just glad we'll get more images of the Eldest.
1 person marked this as a favorite.

It's more of elemental obsession and it would be nice if two kineticist elements got to use a class feature that the other five can.
The Exchange

Any details on aquatic locations in the first world?
Any keneticist stuff?

I want to have the correct expectations set but I know its early for info.

That a really cool cover

"Detailed information on all the Eldest, including overviews of their strongholds and magical boons for their worshipers"

All the Eldest are getting art and information about their strongholds. I'll be immersed in Ragadahn and Shyka's articles for a long time. Good bye "studying on the way home/to work".

I'm glad to see more Jabberwock artwork. :)

That and more Eldest too.

I can't wait to read more stuff about the Eldest.

Not a fan of the Jabberwock, but it is nice art.

Very excited about the content! Very much a Fey fan!

I am a fan of the Jabberwock, though I wish they would use different colors for it instead of using a drab green.

Will this book have slithy toves that gyre and gimble in the wabe?

You wanted this instead?

No actually I would like to see other colors then green such as black, purple, orange, etc.

I wonder how many monster/NPC stats this one will have?

I hope the monster selection will be as interesting as the Planes of Power one is. Also I wonder if it will have the same format/set up/organized as Planes of Power did?

This book is kind of doing its own thing organizationally, but the closest analogue is the Books of the Damned.
