Before you lies Alanor, Realm of the Faerie: an eden of lush wilderness and deep magic. The Goddess Fate, of many forms, gave the Fae two courts to call their homes. The Seelie court, under their Red Queen, delights in everything beautiful and pure. The Unseelie of the mountain caverns celebrate the dark and forbidden. Both courts are filled with power games and politics, love and betrayal, battle and magic. Your choices will mean the difference between fame and obscurity.
The Sluagh, an ancient court of Garlanger and Monsters, have won their freedom from the Unseelie, leaving the Darkling Throng leaderless and torn. The Red Queen, Annette, has sworn to hunt them down in the mists until they have been eradicated from Alanor. But these wilds are home to more than just the Sluagh, and the threat of the mysterious Drow is ever-present, a whisper in every corner of the courts.
The question of who will rule the Unseelie still hangs in the balance. The extent of the Drow threat remains unconfirmed. Queen Annette's campaign against the Sluagh has begun. And where will you be snared in this tangled web?
3/2/2012: Hello dears! We are officially reopened, so get posting! Also I am starting an initiative (because it sounds official) to provide player-created areas for both courts. Please visit this thread to volunteer your ideas! Pictures would also be great if you have a visual in mind! Thanks bunches. <3 Luca
2/7/2012: A synopsis of the last thirty years is in the Alibis board (see "A Changing World," below). Please get over there and start plotting! Sky may have a more involved history to post soon, but I think this is a good place to start. <3 Luca
Weather: It is winter in Alanor. Snow hangs heavy on the boughs of trees, and the sky has been unusually clouded and dark for many weeks. In the night, the cries of myriad geese -- or is it the wild hunt? -- disrupt the customary silence.

Exordium Just beyond the Mounds lies an enclave, a clearing in the midst of the trees that calls all of faerie blood to it, without discrimination. Here fae from either court may gather to interact and socialize, or simply pass through as the road forks, leading to the Seelie and Unseelie courts as well as the Altar of Fate.
Seelie Court The Seelie Court mirrors nature. An expansive kingdom, a city built from living trees and plants. The Red Queen, Annette, Princess of Blood and Striae rules this land.
Unseelie Court The Unseelie Court is a dark gem of unearthly beauty. A metropolis carved from the bowels of an expansive cavern of obsidian and jade. King Cel rules the Darkling domain with a wicked hand.
