_The Plane of Faerie_

The Faewolde is a plane of wild, primal magic, consisting of a [Great Forest](/planes/near/faewolde/realms.html#the-great-forest) surrounded by various domains (called [the Mirthlands](/planes/near/faewolde/realms.html#the-mirthlands)), and intersecting the material plane at key points called [crossings](/planes/near/faewolde/adventuring.html#crossings).

-   Depending on the season, the plane is ruled by one of the four [seasonal courts](/planes/near/faewolde/realms.html#the-fae-courts).
    -   It is currently the 9th year of winter and the rule of the Night King, O'bron the Cold.
    -   Seasons typically last around 4 years, although some last much longer.
-   The length of each day and night are random, averaging around 12 hours.
    -   Most last between 9 and 15 hours, although some have been known to last 24 hours or more.
