The Domain of Winter
The northernmost section of the feywild under the control of the winter court, the domain of winter is the harshest part of the Arcadian Concord. Where other courts resemble a looser government that only exists to facilitate the ease of life for its inhabitants, the domain of winter is absolutist to the point of being almost tyrannical. The domain of winter is the most politically active of the courts, with a cutthroat power struggle in which the fey involved seek out the slightest advantages over their foes. It is militaristic and authoritarian, with the Prince of Frost exerting total control over the lands under his control.
The realm of winter is split into two radically different worlds. There is the Court of Ferrolas in which the inhabitants are wealthy and powerful, vying for the favor of the Prince and the power behind his frozen throne. This is radically different from the rest of the realm, in which small settlements try to survive amidst the harsh landscape of this part of the feywild. The realm of winter is the most dangerous part of the feywild, both from the wintry magic that the prince of frost channels and the encroaching darkness from the shadowfell. The court sends out patrols of the Icebound Legion, an army of elite fey warriors sworn to service under the prince of frost. They patrol the realm in order to defend its people from the dangers it carries, but their main purpose is to enforce the will of the Prince and ensure that insurrection does not spread far. This mission is shared by the Gray Blades, who use more nefarious methods in their pursuit of dominion. There are no laws under the Court of Winter, at least none that are not carried over from the Court of Arcadia, but the word of the prince reaches far as utter law.
