Unseelie Court
The Unseelie Court is the name given to the hordes of mindless followers of the Raven King. They follow his lead and mimic as best they can as they try to work his will and aid him in siezing control of the Fey Wild. It is largely made up of the Duergar, who will attack in a mindless mob at the direction of the Raven King. The make the core of the swarming horde that fight for the Raven King.
A shambling, crazed mob of Dark Fey and Twilight Faeries, the Unseelie are bent on creating havoc and terror where ever they go. Many disgusting races are a regular part of this band of sinister Faeries. Before the Raven-King, these flying, crawling and creeping mobs had no leader or direction, but his domination soon changed everything.
Vile shapeshifters and fetid Fuathan forerunners function as ‘commanders’ and leaders when that role is needed, but mostly these gatherings of trouble-causing Dark Fey are let loose without too many orders or a mission. At times, the King of Ravens will send them to capture people or to acquire items that he needs, but sending them into battle creates guaranteed chaos.
In the Mortal world the Unseelie hide underground by day, in mountains and other dark and dismal places. They wait for the sun’s warm light to fade before issuing forth into the night, bringing havoc on the unfortunate souls who cross their paths. When they find victims, they will drag them across miles of sharp, boggy land or make them take part in evil deeds throughout the night. Worse yet, their victims might be taken below ground when dawn comes and carried to Annwn to meet a dire fate.
When the Wild Hunt is afoot, the Unseelie will be compelled to join and follow, disobeying any orders of the Raven-King. Their ability to jump into battle against Mortal and Seelie Army makes them a destructive and fatal fighting order.
An Unseelie mob could be comprised of limitless individuals. The Fey ability Sluagh Flight enables the Faeries to become a single entity with the others who share the ability. The Unseelie then act, fight, spell-cast, and function as one mass.
Indirectly, the Raven-King’s armies are classified as Unseelie in general, whether using the Sluagh Flight ability or not. His armies are called Sluagh, Llu, or the ‘Hosts’, and are composed of every sort of Dark and Twilight Faery (or questionable and morally-lacking Mortal) that has sworn allegiance to the King of Ravens.
