The Summer Court, led by the Fae Queen Titania, embodies vitality, growth, and warmth, while the Winter Court, ruled by King Oberon, represents the tranquility, reflection, and the passage of time. These courts, along with other factions like the Wild Hunt, navigate the delicate balance of power within the realm. There is also a group called the Midsummer Night People (see Mag Mell).   However, the fae are not without their flaws and complexities.
