@Prince of Seraphs And I thank you for that. Your right and I'm bashing my head against a wall for my own stupidity.

No, He's right. Don't try to argue me out of this one.

I'll flesh it out some more. The fact is I don't run THIS stuff by anyone, and while I bashed out the mechanics and the ideas and everything I do forget things. I'm human, not Falk! Cause let's face it. If I was Falk I'd be turning Seraphs to my whim to make him/her remember who is the Ruler while fixing the problem.

The Fae Realms are more reminiscent of a wheel, perhaps. One season blends into the next and at these borders are pockets or strips of neutral land for the 'wild' Fae. Spring to Summer, Summer to Fall, Fall to Winter, Winter to Spring... They create a area where the wild Fae may not especially thrive but they can live in retaliative comfort. The center of the wheel is something of a No-Man's land. A timeless plain. There are roads, patrols, towns, and such. But really the infrastructure depends on the Court. Fall is more forest, more the hunt and gathering. While they do have farms and rivers and fishing, I've focused more on the harvest. Summer would be less foresty I would think with more farming and perhaps less hunting. Winter... Winter would be a hard place scarce of food while rich in materials of ore and Winter goods. Spring would be... Could be anything I suppose. That's always the season I got hung up on.

And there are towns as I said before but there can be, I say can because Fall will not have one though the other seasons could. ("Disgusting blight upon the natural order of things. I have no such need of the things why should they?" "Hush, they have the right of choice.") Though We can see how Falk feels about that. Which might be interesting if they did. Winter could efficiently have a city being the season who would need the largest group of people for easy food rationing, perhaps. Buildings are as the Fae like them. With Fall they are made from stone, or hung from trees. It just depends on the Fae who uses the house. Just as roads being paved or not depends on how often their used. ("And if I want to waste time speaking with Golems for more stone to pave my road ways." "HUSH! I'm bashing out things for you! Over grown turkey..." ". . ." "Okay, backing away slowly.")

Also to clear something up about the Wylde Hunt that I noticed. It's not Fall Fae, It can be but generally it is not. Falk? Perhaps you could? "The Wylde Hunt is a army, a nation. A sea of spirits and specters. Endless souls brought and bought by the years. I let no Fae within my realm go to waste." Yes, so the Wylde Hunt essentially is death. Death to those it hunts and is hunted by the Dead or the remains. A High Magick and something that costs Falk dearly though it is not really shown. Years are spent between Hunts gathering power and the dead for the next. The only one who knows the true nature are the most ancient of Fae, or the most learned as the Hunt in it's true form is something that is.... Well, taboo.

Fae Magic is a basis of power and words. Power comes with age, so the older you are the more powerful. Promises must be upheld and that applies to spells. Once you cast one, once you lay the magic you must see it through. To run out of power for the spell would mean it would take life from the Fae resulting in death or near to. All Fae can use magic, the only ones who can't effectively are the iron touching ones. They are weaker users and there's no exception. They are also shunned by other Fae so it's rather hard for them.

Keep throwing questions at me and I'll straighten it out. This is what I mean, I don't think of everything. ("No, you leave that to me.") Ahem. Ignore the hulking black shadow and if I disappear... Well, let's just say I'll be joining the Wylde Hunt. ("I wouldn't waste the energy to add you.") Anyone want a testy Fae? Please? Take hiM?!

Might I add an idea for Summer's layout?

I imagine yes farms
But perhaps also some forestry?

I am still here. Just going through some stuff. I am on board for continuing this and I will do any of the rulers that are needed along with Jessalyn and Lyra. I miss playing Lyra and I am still curious over what Falk planned to do with her...

@Belle Winter is free and I'm hammering out the little details.

So feel free to quiz me on my own realm! It'll help me draw everything together.

@LadyRunic Alrighty then, I shall claim Winter and make a female ruler. I read where you said Winter would have rich ore deposits. Could that include gems as well?

@Belle Most certainly, you'd be getting a steady insource of food from Falk for those magical propertied gems.

Aka: You get food, he gets first pick of the gems.

Advocating for my own realm here but wouldn't Spring be a better and more steady source of food?

Nyx: "The nutriment of Falk's Fall Court is pale and unsatisfying. A decaying state serves no true sustenance, I suggest you look to one of the growing lands for your peoples nutritional needs.

"Yes, but Unseelie Courts. You two would cheat."

. . . You wouldn't?

"Why would I?"

Nyx: "Such pale words from one so old. We are all of us creatures of the fae. There is not one among us who would not slit the others throat if it benefited him. However my Winter Queen betraying you gives me not what I need nor does it benefit my people. We have an abundance of that which your cold barren land will not produce and the harsh places that you rule foster the most valuable of gems. I suppose Summer could argue the value of his sustenance over mine but I do not believe there is any in the fae realm that would claim the Autumn lands to have a better harvest. That is assuming he does not poison the shipments he sends you.

You may not be able to trust me but you can trust in the fact that you have something I require and the same can be said of you. Trust is not necessary when you know an act of mine against you in this agreement would be as much of a disadvantage to me as yourself. The same cannot be said of Falk for we all are aware that he never takes an action without an ulterior motive at play."


On another note how free would I be as the Spring Ruler to customize the Spring Realm? What facades of my realm must be set in stone, which ones can I play with?

@Prince of Seraphs Generally the only thing set in stone really, is that your Spring. Seelie Court. 'Youthful'. It's that basic idea. Not as hot tempered as Summer, not Cold as Winter.

I'll clear up more later.

The OP is lacking in any sort of description past that so I thought I'd ask if there was anything I needed to include. With my ruler I'm going to go ahead and more or less write the history of the Spring Court for the last five hundred years give or take. When I'm done let me know if I've stepped over any lines.

Also in the reboot are we going to redo the meeting of the four courts cause not a lot really actually happened for that in this one. Two of the rulers had no idea what they were doing enough to actually do anything, Summer is by nature not going to direct the flow of the entire meeting and Falk can't really be secretive an manipulative when he has to do all of the talking. There was a serious lack of back and forth. It sort of looked like four kids whose moms made them go on a play date together even though they don't like each other. No offense to anyone involved.

@Prince of Seraphs Yes, that meeting is being redone. Everything that's happened, HAS happened but the Moot hasn't happened yet.

Spring... Also, Your lighter, healing, life. Think the opposite of dark and dire over there.

"Dark and dire am I? Could you not think of better words?" Ummm... Lord of Night and Harsh winds? Of storms and fallen kings? "Yes, much like that."
