The Unseelie

Home > The Courts

Ruled by Monarch Cessair
 (pronounced KAH-seer)

The Unseelie are the Court of Darkness ruling from Samhain to Beltaine and while they stand in opposition to the Seelie that does not mean their values are the exact opposite. Where the Seelie cherish love, the Unseelie prefer passion, giving in to their emotions and "riding the wave" of them.

The Unseelie embrace change, sometimes to the point of chaos, always looking for new experiences, new passions. The Unseelie too never forget a debt, but more important to them is to collect on what is owing to them or to avenge a slight. Those humans who have managed to gain their respect find themselves with powerful and loyal allies and while many might expect those to be the great and powerful it is more likely to find them patronising agitators and artists.

The Unseelie are more likely to take humans who provoke a strong emotion in them to the Fae Realm, or those who they are punishing. The Unseelie can be deliberately cruel, callous and relentless, but also surprisingly protective and loving to those few they let into their hearts.

The majority of Unseelie are Winter, Autumn or non-seasonally aligned Fae. Domesticated Fae such as Brownies and Hobs cannot be members of the Unseelie Court, nor can those of the Summer Court. Seelie tend to wear dark rich colours

Unseelie Code

 * Let pAlex-sheldon-09kXYXCZpeY-unsplash.jpgn lead you - if you do not feel deeply, why feel at all?
 * Never forget a debt - those who have crossed you must learn never to do so again, those who you owe should have no hold over you.
 * Embrace change  - nothing worthwhile is constant.
 * Honour is weakness - it is better to win than follow archaic rules and lose.
 * Protect your own - let none take from you that which is yours.

Unseelie advantage:
Once per day if you have been able to fully indulge in a passion you will regain half your spent spells

Unseelie Disadvantage:
If you enter into a bargain or deal of any kind in which you do not have the upper hand you are weakened until the bargain is fulfilled (lose half your unspent spells rounded down. If all spells are spent then you become weak, listless and melancholy instead)
