**Description**: The Festival Wreaver is a whimsical yet sinister fey creature that feasts upon the joy and mirth of festival-goers. Cloaked in vibrant, tattered carnival fabrics, it appears at ruined celebratory sites, drawing energy from the sadness of cancellation and broken traditions. The Wreaver employs illusions and tricks, seeking to turn the somber atmosphere into chaotic revelry as it preys on the emotions of its encounters. Using its charm and deception, it seeks to lure adventurers into its games, where it revels in the manipulation of their fears and hopes.
