Dusk Court
Two planes are given to the Fey; The Dusk and the Dawn Courts. They are both wild lands of nature and grand magic, but where the Dawn Court is home to peaceful meadows and cool streams, The Dusk Court is covered in deep, dark forests and caverns shrouded forever in shadow and broiling mists. Equally, the inhabitants of both Courts are fond of jokes and tricks, but where a member of the Dawn Court may trick you into dancing all night with what you think is a beautiful prince only to reveal it being a cow, the Dusk Court will trick you into leaving your firstborn in their court and laugh as you beg for it to be returned.
While the two courts have many relations, including marriages and alliances of their respective houses, there is often tension and sometimes outright war between the two. Long ago, there was talk of King Oberon and Queen Mab marrying, uniting their kingdoms, but the two found each other so utterly despicable that their first meeting cast the Fey into a century of war.
The Dusk Court claims as its home the Palace of the Moon, a gloomy palace spun from the web of spiders, where intrigue, assassinations and illicit affairs are endless. From here, Queen Mab rules without dispute. It is home to boggarts, faun, gremlins and many more. It is also from here the dreaded Wild Hunt rides out.
As much as the courts appreciate freedom, dance and frolicking, they are also both bound by ancient laws and a fey’s word is as binding as cold iron chains. One should be careful when making a deal with a Fey, however; A member of the Dawn Court will find it amusing to find ways to disappoint you while a member of the Dusk Court will take great pleasure in turning his promises of wine into a reality of poison.
