Good Archfey patron for a warlock?

@dnd

I have made a Jorasco halfling warlock who is a priest of Kor Korron, which I will be playing in an #eberron campaign. (Specifically, he is a priest of Kor Korron, pretends to be a wizard among his peers, but likes to pass himself off as a cleric in public.) I am not very familiar with Thelanis, but I understand there is a fae court there. Do any of you have ideas for which archfey I should suggest to my #DM?

@Shkshkshk @dnd Hags being considered fey, Sora Kell or any of her daughters would be appropriate.

Does it have to be an individual fey? Could it be an entire coven? Could be interesting to have your warlock be the charge of, say, the Hourglass Coven. They each distrust each other and want to get one up on the others all the time, so they could each be using you to fuck with the other two all the time, essentially giving you carte blanche to do as you want as long as you are constantly a thorn in the side of all 3.

Could even flavor your spells to take on the aspects/traits of one of the three, like that individual hag has given you that specific spell. Divination and control magic from Endelyn with something like suggestion or hold person controllingthrough puppet strings. Skabatha can give you summoning spells and enlarge/reduce with all effects appearing like wood carved toys. Bavlorna gives you all necrotic magic and polymorph with the forms they take looking like stitched together Frankenstein-esque monstrosities.

Or maybe your Patron is specifically Baba Yaga, but she tasks you with being the Hourgalss Coven's errand boy while also being her eyes and ears on her daughters' activities.

@kryptonianCodeMonkey @pteryx
It does make sense for covens to count as one patron. Seems in the spirit of hags to behave like that.

Thats a good idea. Since they rule Droaam, that opens the door for political intrigue. They may be seeking more power on the global stage. I might be looking at politics in my future so I can make them something more than Fantasy Belgium.

Didnt have space to clarify details about my character. In Eberron, being a priest just means you went to seminary, so it's totally reasonable for him to claim to be a wizard priest. Since he has the Mark of Healing, I'm going to rp him as the embodiment of the American Healthcare system, charging money for healing. Figured Pact of the Archfey would be most useful in huckstering.

Please help I'm caught in a loop between

the American Healthcare system, charging money for healing

reading that, it hurting because it's true, then not being able to do anything about it because

the American Healthcare system, charging money for healing

I like playing evil dickasses. Thankfully all of Eberron is morally grey at best. House Jorasco, for example, happens to be "what if the U.S. Healthcare System, in addition to being extortionate and evil, was also part of the executive branch?"

To be fair, the god I picked would probably disapprove of me being extortionate. But it's not like there aren't priests living absurdly wealthy lives that Jesus sure wouldn't approve of. #joelosteen
