Hello all! It's been a while since I've created a new Corestone so I hope you enjoy! I have previously put out the Corestone of the Fire plane and the Nightmare plane. If you're new to us and have no idea what a Corestone is - the original post can be found HERE.

The anchor to the Feywild itself - the Feystone (or The Corestone of the Feywild) is another ludicrously potent form of cosmic power. Corestones are legendary artifacts in Athana, integral to the balance and structure of the universe. These artifacts exist for every plane of existence, including the Elemental Planes, the Feywild, the Shadowfell and less solid outer planes such as the Dreamplane, and the Nightmare Plane, among others. Formed during the cosmic birth of Athana, they are as natural and essential as stars and planets. These artifacts are intertwined with the fabric of reality, acting as linchpins that maintain the balance and integrity of the planes. They serve as anchors or tethers, linking their respective planes to the Material Plane. Each Corestone is bound with the power of its own plane of existence, making them both powerful and volatile, existing in both realms simultaneously.

The Feystone

This 2-foot-diameter sphere is a transcendent gate within the multiverse, hovering in space, existing in both the Feywild and the Material Realm simultaneously. This artifact acts as the tether between the two planes of existence.

The Corestone destroys all matter it passes through and all matter that passes through it. Artifacts are the exception. Unless an artifact is susceptible to damage from a Corestone, it passes through the Corestone unscathed. Anything else that touches the sphere but isn't wholly engulfed and obliterated by it takes 4d10 force damage.

If the Corestone comes into contact with a planar portal, such as that created by the gate spell, or an extradimensional space, such as that within a portable hole or bag of holding, the GM determines what happens from a dice roll. Either the device or spell creating the planar portal is destroyed, or the Corestone is destroyed, sucking in each creature and object within 180 feet of the sphere and transporting them to the Feywild, allowing the tether between the two planes to be severed causing the planes to collide with world changing consequences.

The Corestone of the Feywild is an artifact of immense power and versatility. If the player bonded to the Corestone wishes to use it in a way not explicitly listed in the abilities, it is at the DM's discretion to allow such use. The Corestone can be a potent weapon or tool and can be utilized creatively in many scenarios. DMs are encouraged to facilitate this creativity while maintaining balance in the game. This flexibility allows the Corestone to be an evolving part of the campaign, adapting to the player's imagination and the narrative's needs.

The Corestone of the Feywild is a game-changing item and should be integrated thoughtfully into your campaign. Its introduction and use should significantly impact the narrative, offering both challenges and opportunities for creative problem-solving and story development.
