Fey is a word for fairies and has multiple spellings (including [[Fay Crozier | fay]]). It is also a word meaning "doomed, fated to die", often ascribed to supernatural causes and evidenced by abnormal behavior (cognate to Old Norse ''féigr'', German ''feige''). In Scottish superstition fey refers to supernatural abilities such as prophecy (not necessarily related to dying or death). The name "Weald" is derived from the Old English weald, meaning "forest". The common understanding of weald is a wood or forest. It also can refer to a wooded land or region that ranges from an open country to a deep forest. More generically it can refer to a wild or untamed location. Putting the two words together, and looking at the description of this item, the translation could be: fairywood.
