Verdant Call — The Horn of Fenros

Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement by a druid or ranger)

Description:
Carved from the fossilized horn of a guardian beast lost in the Wounded Grove, this curved instrument is wrapped in living vine and etched with ancient Sylvan runes that grow and shift over time.

Effects:

• Nature’s Muster (1/day): When blown, the horn summons 1d4 + 1 beast spirits (CR 2 or lower) in unoccupied spaces within 60 feet. These creatures are fey-spirits in beast form and are friendly to the summoner for 1 hour or until slain. They obey spoken commands and vanish when reduced to 0 HP or after the duration ends.
• Voice of the Pack: You can speak with beasts and fey at all times. You have advantage on Persuasion and Animal Handling checks against them.
• Verdant Fury (Recharge 5–6): As a bonus action, you may cause summoned or companion beasts to erupt in wild magic, granting them temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier and dealing an additional 1d6 force damage on their attacks for 1 minute.

Thornflight — Fenros’s Bow of the Wild Run

Weapon (longbow), very rare (requires attunement by a druid, ranger, or fey-touched)

Description:
This ancient bow is strung with silk spun from moonlit spiders and bound in bark-smooth wood taken from three feywild trees grown at opposite ends of time. When drawn, it hums softly with primal tension.

Effects:

• No Need for Arrows: The bow conjures its own ammunition. Each arrow takes on a unique form—thorns, feathers, bone splinters—based on the terrain or wild essence nearby.
• Aspect Shot (3/day): Fire an arrow infused with a beast’s spirit. Choose a beast CR 1 or lower. The arrow takes on that creature’s essence and has an additional effect:
• Wolf: Forces a Strength save or knock the target prone.
• Hawk: Ignores cover and grants advantage on attack.
• Snake: Deals an additional 2d6 poison damage.
• Warden’s Roar: If you reduce a creature to 0 HP with the bow, you may let out a primal roar as a free action. All beasts and fey within 30 feet are emboldened, gaining temporary HP equal to your level and advantage on their next attack.

• Born from the union of Aurenos and Elyndra, alongside his twin Virelyn, during the early emergence of mortal life.
• Chose to walk alone, deeper into wild lands than any other divine, where he first encountered the raw, chaotic threads of the Feywild.
• Created the Wounded Grove in an act of love for Selaveth, only to accept her rejection and allow grief to birth something wilder.
• Formed the first feywalkers and taught mortals the rites of wild shape and instinctual communion.

• Catalyzed the birth of the Feywild and gave mortals a path to cross its borders.
• Brokered the Beast Accords—ancient spiritual contracts between wild creatures and druids.
• Defended the world’s ley-borne forests during the Sundering Blight without a formal army—only beasts, vines, and wild shapeshifters.

Failures & Embarrassments

• Allowed twisted fey monarchs to pervert his teachings.
• Failed to protect the original Wounded Grove from planar corruption during a divine conflict.
• His love for Selaveth once blinded him to the needs of his twin, Virelyn, causing a temporary rift that left parts of the world in stasis or unchecked decay.

• Holds no interest in law or moral binaries—views nature as its own measure of rightness.
• Believes hardship refines spirit and that mercy must be earned, not expected.
• Respects all life, but favors those who challenge, evolve, and accept the cycles of wild transformation.

• To maintain the mystery and sovereignty of wild spaces—physical, spiritual, and emotional.
• To resist the overreach of control, order, and permanence.
• To empower beings—divine, mortal, or fey—to reclaim primal autonomy.
• To usher in the full awakening of wild sentience across the world.

• Remembered and revered through action more than word.
• His name is invoked before crossing into unknown woods, transforming one’s shape, or releasing a creature back into the wild.
• Considered a patron of nonconformists, druidic sects, beastfolk, and changelings.
• Fenros is credited with the creation of natural sanctuaries that defy mortal mapping or magical anchoring.

• Virelyn (Twin Sister): Mutual respect and shared domains of boundary and transition; occasional friction over emotion vs. stillness.
• Aurenos (Father): Philosophical conflict; Fenros rejects imposed order but respects the creative spark.
• Elyndra (Mother): Ambivalent affection; she is the memory of what grows, he is the force that makes it evolve.
• Selaveth (Former Love): Deep reverence, but no longer longing—his love became a gift to the wild, not a wound.
• Naelir: Views him as a soft cousin—loves his whimsy, but distrusts his passivity.
• Fey Courts: Has no throne, but fey rulers trace their origins to him, for good or ill. He opposes any who claim dominion over the fey as a whole.
