Summer

The Tables of the Fae High Council call to those amongst the council who embody an element of that season. Whether it be youth for the Spring table, passion for the summer table, experience for the Autumn table, or pain for the Winter table, a council member cannot refuse the call of their seat anymore than they could refuse the air filling their lungs.

The Mossfather

The Mossfather (he/they) is an archfey on the Fae High Council.

Description

The Mossfather appears to be a large man made entirely of plants. Skin like newly grown leaves, long hair like a weeping willow, a full beard of vines and hanging moss, thick bark-like eyebrows. He's never seen without a broad smile and dark gleaming eyes. Their height is known to change -- sometimes they're as tall as an oak tree, other times they're just over the size of your average humanoid.
The Mossfather's passion is for nature. He firmly believes in the beauty of the natural world and believes in its preservation and cultivation -- as such, many of his followers are druids and rangers, and his most elite are Oath of Ancients paladins. Despite his jovial and generous demeanor, he takes his conservation efforts very seriously. However, he's also known to love a good party, especially if feywild wine is involved. He's known for being one of the gentler Archfey, but his wrath is swift and crushing if pushed too far.

History

The Mossfather has been a constant in the High Council for centuries, and has changed very little since he joined. The most notable change has been the steady increase in the number of his children, whom he cares for immensely.

Trivia

• He occasionally spends time as various plants and animals, transforming himself as he pleases so he can better understand them.
• He has approximately one hundred children whom he often speaks fondly of. Most of them are well into adulthood, but he still keeps in touch with all of them as best he can.

The Scoundrel of Avarice

Perdor Codicia, The Scoundrel of Avarice, seems to be gaining more and more power and was doing so quite rapidly for centuries. However his power source was stifled by the Hag Witch, whom he now feuds with over his lost advancement. No one knows this of course, because then the Scoundrel would have to reveal the source of their power, a deal with an individual to give them everlasting life by reincarnating them when they die. The Soundrel receives a measure of power whenever one of these reincarnations perishes.
The Scoundrel was not powerful enough to fight in the Shadowfell war and was instead assistant to the person who previously held this council seat. When the Scoundrel began garnering power, he stole the seat from his predecessor, now known as Little Orby, who has swapped roles and become the assistant to Codicia. These two draw inspiration from Crigley Jigglesphere from Arc 8 of the Unprepared Caster podcast.

The Hedonist

The Hedonist has an insatiable desire for all things finely made. Though they have a particular penchant for sweets and jewelry, they also collect fine magical trinkets, as well as weapons and armor made by the finest craftsmen across the planes. They are fickle and easy to anger; they wage petty wars over envy, usually for little gain. Their seat at the summer table tempers the council's milder personalities with their quick temper and fiery rage.
