Hello there N0ught. Glad to see this mod is still going on.
If I may suggest, I don't know if you've watched the 1990 series Twin Peaks but I was thinking about one or more gates into the Faerie similar to the entrance in the Black Lodge. Basically they're available on certain days of the year and on certain hours. And you have to bring some offering to open the gateway. At different times the gates bring you to different parts of the Faerie.
You can access a standard, simple Faerie every day around 3:00 am (there is some sort of story about 3:00 am being the hour when the veil between this world and the spirit world is thinner) but to access special parts of the Faerie you have to enter during Samhain (~1 November), Imbolc (~1 February), Beltane (~1 May), or Lughnasadh (~1 August). Also you might add a quest line about some Nord village haunted by spirits of the Faerie (in a somewhat similar way how Twin Peaks was haunted by BOB and MIKE.
In the TV show, the main character (Agent Dale Cooper) finds the entrance to the Black Lodge (after he has solved many other mysteries) in a place called Glastonberry Grove (reference to King Arthur's Glastonbury):
Also, the character of Windom Earle from Twin Peaks is quite interesting. Basically an ex-FBI agent practicer of some dark form of Vajrayana Buddhism, in one of the scenes in the show, he lives in a cabin in the woods dressed in pajamas and playing a samurai bamboo flute(which uses as a weapon). It strongly reminds of the deity Pan or of the Satyrs/Fauns:
Another inspiration about possible inhabitants of the Faerie comes from American Gods (yes, I've been watching some new tv series recently) - Mr. Wood - A tree-like animistic deity which can move and kill people. You can make a mix between it and The Arm/The Dwarf in tree form (Twin Peaks again):
