Unseelie (un-SEE-lee)

The Unseelie are a subspecies of the Sidhe. They are powerful lords of the fey and closely bound to nature. The Unseelie are rivals of the Seelie.
The Unseelie are creatures of twilight and the soft light of the moon and the stars, wielding spells that control forces of the night, winter, and storms. They are ruled by the ancient lords and ladies of the Winter Court, the head of which is queen Morgana together with her daughter the princess Morrigu.

Demographics

Unseelie are mainly encontered on their home plane of Tír-na-nÓg, where they dwell in solitude. Members of the Winter Court might live together in small groups.
Solitary Unseelie can also be encountered in the most deepest and densest wildlands of Amanor, most notably the forest of Bedegraine.

Dealings with mortals

When taking children from other races to live with them in Tír-na-nÓg, the Unseelie only take ones born during autumn or winter.

Racial relations

The Unseelie are fey creatures closely tied to nature. They are friendly or neutral with most other fey as well as beasts and plants. They can even call upon the service of such creatures due to their high position in fey hierarchy. Only Wild fey dare oppose their commands.
The Unseelie have a mostly neutral rivalry with the Seelie. They are also eternal enemies of all undead and monsters.
All Sidhe typically have very cool and distant -- if any -- relations to mortal races. Their attitudes towards mortals are often ones of dominance and superiority.
