The archfey are ancient and powerful fey, whose' power influences great swaths of the Feywild. Some are noble, some are wicked, but many of them ovey ancient traditions of the Feywild that organize their powers into distinct courts.
The Spring court consists mostly of pixies, faerie, faerie dragons, and moonstone dragons.
Government
Faerie dragons are native beings to the Feywild, and they claim to be the first and oldest creatures of the entire plane. This type of boasting is not uncommon for faerie dragons, so few pay them any heed, but there is one that might just prove it all to be true.
Tasmiira is the oldest faerie dragon, and she rules as the de facto queen of the faerie dragons in the Plane of Faerie. Her memory is long and flawless, but unlike many of her kind her arrogance and pride do not cloud her judgment. Tasmiira is interested in only two things – keeping her subjects safe, and protecting the great treasure hoard of her people.
Culture
Justice
The archfey and queen Tasmiira ask very little of her people and do not interfere in their affair as long as they are safe, the good-spirited people of the Spring court play interesting pranks and love nice tricks, but they rarely do anything actually harmful. As such, the judiciary system in this court is inexistant, but if the need arises, a wise and old Moonstone dragon will probably be able to serve as a judge.
However, among the fairies of the spring court, any attempt to harm or injure the world tree is a grave offense and will have severe consequences.
Outsiders may face the wrath of the spring court people if they do not respect their culture, especially with moonstone of fairy dragons. It is for example considered one of the worst things you can do to a dragon to cripple their wings. Some individuals would sooner die than live a life grounded.
Valour
The spring court, often called the faerie court, is home to the smallest fey people, the faeries, pixies, sprites, and faerie dragons make the majority of this court. A notable exception is the Moonstone dragons, those dragons are huge, especially when compared to the tiny people of the spring court, they are the protectors of those small people.
The people of the Spring court are generally pranksters, they enjoy seeing their actions affecting others, to see the turmoil sparked by a little prank, only to reveal themself to the kindhearted.
The faerie dragons of the Plane of Faerie are playful and enjoy cavorting around with no real purpose or direction. They are carefree and truly belong in the Feywild, and few things seem to bother them. They all honor Tasmiira, the queen of the faerie dragons, as their one and true sovereign. Tasmiira doesn’t ask much of her subjects, except for one thing – to never reveal the secret location of the treasurehoard of their people. Few faerie dragons know the exact location of the vast treasure, but most are aware that it exists and that it holds wonders and splendors of all kind. Queen Tasmiira’s greatest charge is ensuring that their treasure hoard does not fall into the wrong hands. Its location is truly a secret, with some say that it exists in a pocket dimension only accessible by faerie dragons, while others whisper it has been shrunk down to miniscule size and carried around in the stomach of the faerie dragon queen herself. Many creatures have tried to pry the secrets of the treasure out of Tasmiira and her loyal faerie dragon knights, but to date none have successfully prevailed. And with each passing year, the treasure of Queen Tasmiira grows as faerie dragons across the multiverse send back a portion of their own treasure to join the collective. What wonders does this massive treasure contain? The rumors are beyond counting, but include powerful magical items, ancient relics, and gold and silver beyond counting. Queen Tasmiira knows all of the contents of the faerie dragon hoard, down to the last copper, so if there is an item that someone seeks that happens to be in the treasure, the good-natured queen can sometimes be inspired to part with it – for a good cause and under the right circumstances.
Mounts and pets
The Spring court tend to use snail and giant snails as mounts. Despite their relative slow speed, the ability of snail to climb on almost vertical surface make them usefull mounts.
Last Rites
The Faeris are born from the World Tree and share a collective soul with the great entity. Upon their demise, it is customary to transport their bodies to the foundation of the World Tree. There, the body gradually melds with the tree, completing a process of reintegration into the essence of the World Tree.
Among the Faeris, a childhood tale suggests that those who lack the opportunity to be brought back to the world tree after their demise are reborn as Campestris, growing on the branches of the world tree. A saying has emerged from this belief: "A Campestris' death," signifying an unceremonious and unremarkable demise.
Diplomatie
Relations
The small people tend to hide, they know they are small and fragile, if it wasn't for the Moonstone dragons protecting them, they would always hide. However, despite this limited protection, they tend to stay in hidden tiny village among the woods, their home merged with the plants and tree invisible to strangers, as they only reveal themself to those who've proven their kindness.
However, among the fairies of the spring court, any attempt to harm or injure the world tree is a grave offense and will have severe consequences.
Outsiders may face the wrath of the spring court people if they do not respect their culture, especially with moonstone of fairy dragons. It is for example considered one of the worst things you can do to a dragon to cripple their wings. Some individuals would sooner die than live a life grounded.
