Aromos the City-Plane

[Jürgen Hubert]

Home politics definitely have an impact. But I would think that this would become a secret. A place for the modern wizard to escape and take a vacation.

From what I've read here so far, there are lots of resources to be found in that city. Which means that if there is a reliable and comparably cheap way of getting there, people will try to make a profit with it.

And secrets have a way of getting out.

Good point. But think about this. Do your average people in the Points of Light setting try to make money off of the Feywild? There is an abundance of resources (food, wood, fruits, animals) and it's filled with dangers. I kind of want this to be the polar opposite of the feywild, instead of nature unleashed it's city unleashed. That being said, I'm sure that in parts of the city there may be toll booths ran by bandits who will beat you up if you don't pay. Or super corporations trying to find ways to privatize and sell off aspects of the city. Or shady sellers trying to make a quick buck on strange and left behind curios.

Depends on whether there are any natives of the Feywild they can negotiate with. If some powerful Feywild entity promises to bless the local fields in exchange for, er, yearly "fertility rites", then the humans living near a crossing point might very well agree to such a deal. Other Feywild natives might be interested in songs, human craft, or even human slaves - and if the people living on the other side feel that they can deal with the Fey and get something worthwhile out of it, some kind of trade will develop.

Everybody wants something. Human or fey makes no difference.
