The Summer Blaze Court

“Let the flames of passion burn away hesitation.”  

Ruler

Lord Solandrin, Flame of Glory  

Seasonal Domain

Summer — Passion, vitality, triumph, heat, and conflict  

Overview

The Summer Blaze Court rules over the height of power and intensity in the Feywild. Governed by Lord Solandrin, this court embodies the fierce heat of summer, the drive to conquer, and the hunger to live fully. It is a court of warriors, lovers, and rebels—where every emotion runs hot and bright.   It influences Tarnith most during the Solstice of Flame, when magic flares wild and tempers run high.  

Court Aesthetic

Their domain blazes beneath an eternal sun. Crimson banners flutter atop golden spires, and lava-fed forges sing hymns of strength. Fey knights clad in gilded plate duel beneath flame-lit trees, and laughter, music, and clashing blades fill the air.   Court members often wear red-gold robes, flame-kissed steel, or molten glass. Their presence radiates confidence and charisma.  

Notable Figures

  • Lady Caldraya, Ember-Swan of War – tactician and poet of battlefield ballads
  • The Solari Blades – elite duelists whose swords ignite with conviction
  • Brannir the Bright-Eyed – fey emissary who negotiates with Tarnith’s warlords
  • Beliefs and Power Structure

    The Summer Court values victory, love, strength, and willpower. Conflict is seen as a purifier of truth. Passion drives their decisions, and duels often settle disputes. While noble in bearing, many see them as arrogant or volatile.   They view mortals as kindling—full of potential, but often too timid to ignite.  

    Relations with Other Courts

  • Spring Bloom Court: Friendly rivals; admire their beauty but scorn their subtlety
  • Autumn Gloam Court: Dismissed as melancholy philosophers
  • Winter Frost Court: Opposed in nearly all things; flame and frost cannot share a throne
  • Symbols and Relics

  • The Flameheart Circlet – Solandrin’s crown, said to burn hotter in the presence of ambition
  • The Arena of Embers – sacred dueling grounds of the court
  • Phoenix Rose – a magical flower that blooms only in battle and flames
  • Ties to Tarnith

    The Summer Court sends emissaries to Tarnith during wartime or great need. Some believe, Sir Eryndor “The Silver Lance” of the The Knights of the Emerald Flame was once touched by Solandrin’s favor.
