The Fey Wilds

in The Great Spheres

The Fey Wilds is a reflection of our world, a view into what once was, a world of chaos and disorder, forget rationality, forgot morality, enter the unknowable; that which cannot be reasoned with or understood only accepted. It is a realm where time and space never was, the setting sun will never set, where miles may take a minute and a few hundred feet a day, to live here is to be part of chaos, it is a realm that cannot be fought, it is a realm where you live by rules that were never made, where the whim of ancient beings create and destroy realms.  

  The connection between our realm and the Fey Wilds is one shrouded in mystery, many believe that it may have served as a sort of pre-world a blue print to the physical world if you will. Some believe that it is a more akin to an emotional plane, being a vision of the physical world build upon primal and magical foundations, a realm where reasoning is supplanted by emotions and wants, some theories stipulate that the fey wilds is essential in the control of seasons on the physical realm, while others believe that the is realm carved out of a dead god.  

Courts of the Fey Wild

The Courts of the fey are constantly in rivalry, for ancient treaties tie their hands in open warfare, instead they must plot and scheme against one another to gain the upper hand. So it has been since their inception, that when one court gains the upper hand, will the others unite against them. The Influence of the courts is not measured by intrique within an actual court between them, but by how much land their realms cover, these borders are eternally fluctuating.   The Fey are governed by the seasonal court, ruled by the Winter Queen, the Summer king, the Fall baron, the Spring baroness. Each of them are responsible for the cycles of the world, and will often battle each other in wit full duels to prolong their season and thereby power. Little is known about the whimsical creatures. They do not have the same morals as us mortals, or at least not as we can understand them.    

The Spring Court

The Spring Court is as aggressive as it is joyous, quick to anger and quick to smile, their favour is as fickle as snow in summer. They are Rancorous revellers, they do not make long term plans despite their immortality, for that would require them to be frugal at times, and those of the Spring Court desire always greater feats and bigger events.  

The Summer Court

The Summer court is generous and kind, but also strict they expect discipline and obedience and in return do they reward. The Summer court is a dangerous place, for on the surface they are good and kind, but their morals like all of the fey are nothing like our own, deceiving many, luring them into a well laid trap.  

The Fall Court

The Fall court is melancholic and planning, for they are gifted with foresight of all that ends, they know that every plan they hatch to gain control will inevitable fail, thus are often seen as boring by the other courts, for the Fall court does not take chances, they are careful and deliberate.  

The Winter Court

Cold and ruthless, the winter court is frugal and cruel they cast a domineering presence for they seek total dominion over the fay wild more than any other court. Their cold demeanour hides only devious deception.
