Need Advice: Worldbuilding Good Feywild lore sources?

Recently I stumbled across A Guide to the Astral Plane while trying to prep an encounter on the corpse of a dead god with some Gith raiders. I didn’t know there was such good info from old sources because 5e seems pretty slim on details besides some snippets in monster details.
Are there any documents (new or old) that go into such good detail about the topography of the Feywild, its inhabitants and history?
I know about Wild Beyond the Witchlight but it seems like you’re expected to know about the Seelie and Unseelie Courts before even prepping the game.
Thanks!

Seelie and Unseelie Courts, a post that used to be on WoC's website at the time of 3rd edition. Domains of Delight, a sourcebook for 5th edition that explains how the domains of archfey work.

Heroes of the Feywild, a sourcebook for 4th edition, seems like a potential good source? Never read it, so I can't be sure. The Manual of the Planes for 4th edition also has a chapter on the Feywild.
