“In every falling leaf, a truth unveiled.”

Seasonal Domain

Autumn — Decay, Memory, Change, and Reflection

Court Ruler

Duchess Morana, Lady of Falling Veils

Overview

The Autumn Gloam Court presides over endings—not of despair, but of insight. It is a realm of fading light, long shadows, and the bittersweet beauty of things passing away. Memory, legacy, and the unspoken truths buried beneath centuries are the Court’s dominion.
Mortals invoke the Autumn Court in funerary rites, moments of personal transformation, or when uncovering lost history. It is the court of quiet wisdom, veiled prophecy, and the sacred rite of letting go.

Realm Description

The Gloam stretches through forests of amber-leaved trees and crumbling ruins held together by vines of twilight. Faint whispers carry on every breeze. Spirits walk openly, their presence soft and watchful. The skies are cast in a warm perpetual dusk.

Ties to Tarnith

The Autumn Gloam Court is known to subtly intervene in Tarnith during times of upheaval or grief. When Caedryn fell, many believed it was Duchess Morana who bore his last thoughts into the Veil. Her envoys are welcomed by the Druids of the Veil, especially during the Twilight Vigil.

Relationship to Other Courts

The Spring Bloom Court – A philosophical rival. Morana sees unchecked growth as dangerous.

The Winter Frost Court – Close ally in purpose and tone; they often act in quiet concord.

The Summer Blaze Court – Their exuberance is regarded as reckless, though respected in its passion.
