In the bustling city of Waterdeep, Frostbite found himself overwhelmed. For the first time in his life, the Dragonborn stood amidst the throngs of people, feeling like an intruder in a world too big and chaotic for his liking. Just as he contemplated retreating to the wilderness he knew so well, a mysterious figure handed him a letter. Too uncomfortable to refuse, he accepted the message.

The letter was from someone named Madrick, who claimed to know about Frostbite's loss of artistic creativity. He offered help, inviting Frostbite to his home in the city of Triboar, a seven-day journey north from Waterdeep.

Despite his reservations, Frostbite set out on the journey. The route was safe, passing through multiple villages. Eventually, he arrived at a friendly-looking hut surrounded by enormous pumpkins. Outside, he met a strange group: a cheerful, oversized bunny named Brolin, a serious Tiefling dressed in black, and a colorful fairy with a top hat.

The door to the hut was locked, and after some commotion with the bell, a voice from within finally invited them inside. They were greeted by Madrick, an old man dressed in black, who offered them pumpkin tea. Soon after, a Moon Elf named Maeve arrived, also seeking Madrick's help.

Madrick revealed that the things they had lost could be found in the Feywild, a parallel world that Frostbite struggled to comprehend. Madrick explained that they needed to help his lost patron, an archfey named Ziybilina, who was the source of his power.

Frostbite remembered Ziybilina from a time when he had been gravely ill and she had appeared, curing him with her mysterious magic. Now, the portal to the Feywild was in the very carnival where Frostbite had lost his artistic touch. The carnival would be in Neverwinter Woods in two days.

Taking on the role of a guide, Frostbite led the group to the woods. As night fell, a breathtaking sight unfolded: a caravan of wagons appeared from a portal in the sky, each pulled by fantastical winged creatures. The carnival quickly set up, transforming the forest into a lively fairground.

With tickets from Madrick, they entered the carnival, warned against causing trouble. Frostbite's focus was on finding the portal to the Feywild. At the big top tent, they encountered performers but no useful information. Moving on, they found a giant teapot with people exiting in bubbles—a sight that made little sense to Frostbite.

Determined and hopeful, Frostbite led his companions deeper into the carnival, seeking Mr. Witch and Mr. Light, the owners, to uncover the secret of the portal and reclaim what they had lost.
