[Image Description: A piece of parchment sits on a writing desk near a quill and inkwell, compass, and a cup of partially consumed coffee. The header says "From the Desk of Whimelva Brightooth" with a wax seal. The letter reads as follows: "Terminus Manor has left the Feywilds! Though I can’t say we made it out unscathed. Our automatons still mutter nonsensities, residents have either misplaced or gained extra appendages (I’m certain I saw a human with FOUR arms), one of our vehicles has become a dragon, and the entire pie storage has simply… vanished…Again. Thanks to the brave guests who discovered the hidden fairy doors throughout the Manor, we finally found Crowella DeQuill. Despite the protests of her mother, Queen Mab, she has chosen to remain Courtless and continue traveling with us. As for our dearest IK the Troll King, he has chosen to stay in the Feywilds, now that there are no trolls left to rule. The Manor will feel a touch quieter without him. Before we left, he shared this parting verse: “As winter vanishes autumn’s leaves, spring returns them to the trees. Absence is but temporary, and we shall smile upon one another again soon.” I do wish him happiness. The longing glances I saw from Queen Mab to King IK may prove that wish soon granted. Now! Terminus Manor is off to its next adventure. Where will it lead us next? Who will we meet? What fun is in store? Wait…WHERE’S MY TAIL?! - Whim" There is a drawing of a dragon-like tail beside the signature along with three exclamation marks. The image is completed with the convention's branding, "Through the Fairy Ring: February 6-8, 2026, www.conpossible.org"]

A weathered page from The Desk of Whimelva Brightooth, bearing the seal of Terminus Manor, reads as follows: “Dear Guests of Terminus Manor, Terminus Manor is positively humming with anticipation. A fae by the name of Crowella DeQuill arrived at our threshold, weary from long wandering. She rested in my study for a time, utterly enchanted by the Manor’s library. She must have read for hours, wandering through curios, potions and ancient tomes with curious eyes. Another item of note, the talking crow scout seems to have taken to the fae. Now the entire manor is abuzz, for Crowella has spoken of paths that lead into the Fae Wilds. She offered essential warnings: never speak your True Name, be cautious of fae food, avoid circles of flowers, mushrooms, or stones, and remember that while fae cannot lie, their half truths may lead you astray. With the promise of great adventures drawing near, the manor grows more alive by the hour. Whatever Crowella’s mission may be, we will do as we always do. Help those who need it. Are you ready? - Whim

A weathered page from The Desk of Whimelva Brightooth, bearing the seal of Terminus Manor, reads as follows: “Dear Guests of Terminus Manor, I am Crowella DeQuill, the Fae hiding within your walls. While I have a moment’s solitude in Whim’s cozy study, I’d like to “spill” this delicious tea your clockwork crow is graciously serving me. Charming little thing, isn’t he? Perhaps I’ll call him Quilliam— Oh, Fungus Feathers! Accursed naming magic! Now the poor thing’s my familiar. And I’m afraid he’s looking a bit… skeletal. Terribly sorry. Ahem! Regardless: I mean no harm. I seek only sanctuary. The Fae courts are after me, for I am unaligned… by choice. Which is uncouth for the daughter of an Arch Fae. While fleeing my pursuers, I was desperate to escape—when your manor appeared! I am ever grateful. Should you find me, your hospitality shall be rewarded. Now, Quilliam? Pass the tea, please. -Crowella DeQuill"

We’ve finally done it! After days and days of searching, we have found the source of the doors. The cleverest of guests ascertained clues tucked inside their enchanted thresholds. At the final door, we discovered her: a fae covered in black and purple feathers, crow-like and extraordinary. She carries no malice, only exhaustion. Terminus has always revealed itself to those in need, so perhaps she is the reason we’ve found our way toward the Feywilds. The T’zar prepared her a gentle sleeping brew, and she now rests safely in the study.

Happy Holidays"
A weathered page from The Desk of Whimelva Brightooth, bearing the seal of Terminus Manor, reads as follows: “In a most interesting turn of events, we once again seemed to have run off course and landed squarely within the Feywilds. The air is thick with magic, and although the greenery is quite lovely, the atmosphere shifts in ways that make even seasoned travelers like myself uneasy. “Our artificer sent bee drones, and they have finally returned with curious news. In this realm, there are two main courts: the Seelie and the Unseelie. The Unseelie seem shrouded in shadow and mischief. Not malicious by nature, but certainly guided by a colder, more unpredictable presence. Much like those we saw on our last adventure through The Veil. Some locals refer to them as the Winter Court. “Contrarily, the Seelie Court leans toward warmth, growth, and a certain benevolence. They are quite charming, really. Even so, nothing in the Feywild is entirely without its tricks. They have been surprisingly helpful to our bee drones, even offering directions. “For now, we secure the Manor. Once our protections are in place and the doors are steadied against the whims of the fey, we shall open them once more and welcome our guests and residents.” The page is signed “Whim.” A drawing of a mechanical bee is in the bottom left corner of the page, with writing tools and a half-drunk coffee sitting off to the right.
Video begins with a parchment scroll that reads "How to Speak Shakespearean: Shut the fu%# up!" It then cuts to the outside of a medieval home with a plain wooden door. The wooden door flies open and a man leans out wearing medieval garb. He shouts, "Cease thy infernal racket, thou spawn of wretched discord, or I'll hurl my chamberpot upon thee!" Frowning, he slams the door behind him. A parchment page appears again with the Shakespearean insult written in medieval pen. A copyright appears for T.J. Garland (Actor, Writer, Producer), and fades to a final copyright which says "If you would like to see more of this silliness, come visit us at THROUGH THE FAIRY RING, February 6-8, 2026.
