Unseelie Court

The Unseelie Court is one of the two Divine Courts of the Feywild, consisting of Archfey so powerful they are considered by some to be Gods. As such, the Unseelie Court is considered a Pantheon, sometimes refered to as the Sylvan Pantheon.
The unrivalled leader of the Unseelie Court is the Queen of Air and Darkness, known to be one of the most powerful Archfey to rule within the Feywild, she works to keep the Wastes of Winter/Frozen Lands in check and oversees the Winter Court.
The Unseelie Court is far more mysterious and secretive than its sister Court, far fewer Archfey admit to being members or supporters due to its more darkly aligned nature. Far easier to decieve and infiltrate if you true allegiences are not known. As such only a limited number of its members and supporters are known and named, far more are still hidden in secret.
However, one thing which is known for certain is that the Unseelie Court, much like its Queen, has a number of allies and enemies in equal measure.
One of the Court's greatest allies came in the form of the Dark Seldarine, while in natural mirroring one of their greatest enemies came from the Seldarine. It's widely believed the Seldarine consider the Queen of Air and Darkness the purest form of corruption which can consume all of Fey lineage.

Structure

The Unseelie Court is split into two groups, the Inner Circle and the Outer Circle.

Inner Circle:

The Inner Circle is comprised of a close group of diety strength Archfey who share beliefs; goals and attributed. Although typically chaotic, each is loyal to the Queen of Air and Darkness, and do as she requests and commands. Members of the Inner Circle tend to be chaotic and very primally Fey in nature, they are often more malicious and actively deceptive than their Seelie counterparts. Disputes between members of the Inner Circle are uncommon and always quickly resolved.

Outer Circle:

The Outer Circle is composed of diety level Archfey who do not always pay direct homage to the Queen of Air and Darkness, or those who have duties which require them to spend frequent time away from Court.

Religion

Religion in the Feywild is an interesting and unconventional thing as those with Divine levels of power tend to walk around among their people in the form of Archfey. Certainly there are those who worship and revere the Archfey, especially those who are members of the Seelie or Unseelie Courts as they are the true divinity of the Plane. While it is far more frequently to find Warlocks in service to an Archfey, there are Clerics and Paladins who adhere to particular members of the Sylvan Pantheon. In many ways it is best to consider the Archfey of the Pantheon to be Domains made physical, as if they were manifestations of what their Domains represent. A Goddess of the Tempest may have mastery of the elements and naturally exude them to appear fiery, fluid or freezing. A God of War may have mastery of every weapon type and the ability to create new weapons at a mere thought, they may naturally appear more bloodthirsty or more melancholy. Nevertheless, Clerics and Paladins in worship to the Sylvan Pantheon can dedicate themselves to the same Oaths and Domains as they would worshiping any other Pantheon, though it is possible they may hear from and see their deity more frequently, as that innate mischief never goes away when the Fey are involved.
