The Fey, a diverse race of beings made from pure magic, split during the God War
into the Summer Court and the Winter court. For all their power the courts do not
have armies nor unlike most beings are they split into good and evil. The Summer
court is about peace, and harmony. A stance it takes as watches with some
disappointment to the outside world. Highest in the courts are the Eladrin, similar
to the elves in appearance but different as they did not fall into the pit of war and
struggle. Instead they focused their pursuits in magic and harmony and over the
centuries have instead less flesh and blood and more magical essence. The summer
court holds the belief that all are welcome if they have but the wisdom and clarity of
spirit to find their city of Menthobellan. Only those with a heart freed from evil and
malice can find this hidden city. Those who find it are rewarded to study and learn
from beings almost as old the world itself. This is the home of Dragons, Eladrin,
Hengeyokai, Nature spirits, Gnomes, Brownies, Pixies, and more and it filled with
wonders beyond belief. Invisible and shrouded in the deep Forests of the Twilight
Glades. Races pass around and through the Rings of Mushrooms that acts
as the portal gates to this wondrous place. Long since believed to a fairy tale even
from the elves, this place holds many secrets. It is oft believed the greatest of heroes
have at least visited this place, and that many of the travelling monks with their great
martial skill, were actually trained here. But on this the Heroes never do more than
smile and the monks simply chuckle.
The Winter Court of the fey is nestled in the utterdark with portals leading to many places
like the Summer Court they do not directly involve themselves, but for them it is game
They enjoy the cities of other races and in fact have a portal to most long standing cities.
Whether Hiding the Big Orks Sword under a goblin, or leaving only left foot shoes in a store
in Basilea. The Winter Court love cities finding the best sort of mischief to get into there.
While death is sometimes a consequence of the mischief, most of them aren't malicious.
They just enjoy playing pranks or causing chaos. While all of the races of the summer
court are just as likely to be as diverse down in the winter court. They too sometimes train
mortal creatures, but it tends to be in the ways of stealth and mischief making.
The City of Belenmale while underground is also hidden from those who would be filled with
hate, which has kept them safe for a staggering amount of time. The city itself formed around
massive stalagmites is covered in hues of purple and blue made from floating globes of fairy
fire. This city is also entered by enter a circle of mushrooms but these are underground.
Each Council of the Court is held by the Wisest of Each Race that lives in both Courts. Both
Councils meet Twice a year, once in the Menthobellan's Grandest Building, the Loramoll. In
the Winter both councils converge in the Belvera, the Central Spire of Belenmale. What is
discussed no one knows as only councils members from the Courts are allowed.
