The Seelie Court
Ruled by Queen Titania; the Seelie court is known to be much more willing to interact with mortals, some even greatly enjoy the company of beings that are not Fey.

The Spring Court
Several centuries ago a young elven woman named Alicetheia got lost and wandered into the Feywild. She went on many adventures, meeting both The Queen of Air and Darkness and Queen Titania, both of whom decided the wanted the girl and fought for her. After chess tournaments, croquet matches, and a few beheadings, Alicetheia joined The Seelie Court. Over the years, she became Titania's favorite and came to rule over her own faction of The Seelie Court.
Lady Alice rules The Spring Court with a curious mind and a gentle hand, although her curiosity can become dangerous and mischievous if her attention is caught in the right way. Those that decide to join The Spring court are never ending sources of curiosity and questions, often traveling and discovering new places and things. |
The Summer Court
Ruled by The Summer Lord, Oberon, the Summer Court is a faction of The Seelie Court and are often fiery and passionate Fey. Those that join The Summer Court are the Fey that will absolutely avenge perceived insults and slights, and they will do so with pain and fire. Members of The Summer Court are often fighters, guards, and knights.

The Unseelie CourtRuled by the The Queen of Air and Darkness; the Unseelie court is the opposite of the Seelie court. While the Seelie court is quite benevolent towards mortals, Fey of this court are known to be malevolent, make unfair deals, and assault mortals that come across them. Lesser Fey are more inclined to seek out trouble and actively go after mortals, while Archfey and High Fey could care less.
The Queen of Air and Darkness herself tends to not care for the affairs of mortals unless she can somehow benefit from them. She does not go out of her way to be malevolent and can be quite helpful if caught in the right mood, but make no mistake, she is manipulative and dangerous. Those that are within her court are held to high standards and she tolerates absolutely no mistakes or transgressions. |
The Fall Court
While Oberon is married to Queen Titania, he also has a consort in the Jarl of the Fall Court, Robin Goodfellow, otherwise known as Puck. A true trickster, Puck is the laziest ruler, often not even enforcing their own laws and not minding when his subjects pull pranks, both fun and malicious. They does what they want, but will always listen to The Queen of Air and Darkness. Occasionally, they'll help out Oberon, but more likely they'll just hang around the Summer Court and pull pranks and bother people.

The Winter Court
The Winter Court is ruled by a dangerous pair of Fey, The Snow Queen and The Erlking. Often at odds with The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Snow Queen is a Fey who rules with a frozen fist and icy will. She does not tolerate anyone to disobey her and does not hesitate to show her disdain or distaste. Anything that enters her realm is expected to follow her orders exactly, it doesn't matter if they don't know her laws, they must obey.
The Erlking is just as dangerous as The Snow Queen, but he keeps out of the spotlight and manipulates those behind the scenes. He is known to find children who have wandered into his realm and either eat them or twist them into horrific creatures, sometimes he will set traps in the material plane to draw children to him. He is not a true ruler, but rather given the title out of fear and respect. The Snow Queen can control The Winter Court far more efficiently with the backing of The Erlking. |
