Fairy Court: Summer Seelie Vs. Winter Unseelie
The Seelie Court
Ruled by the Summer Court, and, to a lesser extent, the Spring Court, the fae of the Seelie Court are those who are of a generally amicable predisposition. Despite this, they are prone to mischief and are known to overreact (by non-faerie standards) to situations.
The Seelie Court fae freely visit the Middle World, and are generally welcomed there. The Court is primarily populated by eladrin, elves,gnomes, and hobgoblins.
The Unseelie Court
The fae of the Unseelie Court tend towards malevolence, and are guided by the lords of the Winter and Autumn Courts. The Unseelie fae are often merciless and are likely to be aggressive without provocation.
Most people in the Middle World know to avoid involvement with the Unseelie, though doing so can prove difficult when such fae may freely lie and mislead those they interact with. Eladrin,changelings, drow, and spriggans are the most populous fae among the Unseelie.
