The Silent Crown
O woman, washing beside the river,
Hush-a-by baby, babe not mine,
My woeful wail, do you pity never?
Hush-a-by baby, babe not mine,
A year ago I was snatched for ever,
Hush-a-by baby, babe not mine,
From my home to the hill where hawthorns quiver,
Hush-a-by baby, babe not mine,
Shoheen sho, ulolo,
Shoheen sho, strange baby O!
Shoheen sho, ulolo,
You're not my own sweet baby O!

Strong Alliance
As the members of the Seelie court the Winter and Autumn crowns get along incredibly well, often finding that their members work well together and act as buffers between the machinations of Summer and Winter.
Tense Alliance
The Court that immediately follows the Silent court is loud, obnoxious and full of cruel debauchery. They do not approve of one another, though the Dance often tries to break the few lingering nobles of the Winter court out of their shells before they "Return to Arcadia"
At War
As the Diametrically opposed courts the Winter and Summer crowns hate one another and do all they can to meddle in each other's affairs, but the nature of the Feywild and the Seasonal contracts of the Seelie and Unseelie courts keep them from being able to directly interact, still they work through foolish mortals and servants against one another.
