Queen of Air and Darkness
Once, the Queen of Air and Darkness was the sister of Queen Titania, ruler of the Fey, in the land of Ladinion. But one day a group of Dwarves, who had been mining in a mountain to the south, brought to the Seelie Court a great, ten-faceted black diamond they had found as a gift for the fey queen. However, Titania was away swimming that day so her sister accepted the gift. This diamond began to corrupt her, transforming her nature, and one day she took the diamond and other magical treasures and left in a chariot of smoke and fire that was said to have appeared out of the sky. Some time later the mountain that the dwarves were mining exploded, slaying the dwarves and causing sickening smoke to cover the land.
Now, the Queen of Air and Darkness has no physical form; her presence is merely felt in the Unseelie Court. If magic was used to see her, however, she appeared as a beautiful but terrible female faerie with angular features, bone-white skin, all-black eyes, and long black hair.
