The Unseelie Court

The youngest of Mabuka and Cernunnos’s children, Morgan le Fay, or Morgana, is a talented sorceress who’s trained under both her mother and Baba Yaga to hone her skills. A proud and selfish being, Morgana is jaded by a life time spent in her mother’s shadow, and feels very entitled to power and authority. One of the Deans of Scathe, her cold and hostile nature brought her into conflict with the mage spirit Merlin, and eventually resulted in her defeat. Morgan le Fay is called the Raven Princess, as she takes a great deal of aesthetic choices from her mother’s symbol, the raven.

The Horned Lord, Cernunnos is Mabuka’s husband, and a powerful Fae of prey and predator alike, renowned as the being that evaded the Wyld Hunt for decades on end, he is a powerful— if often repressed— archfae, as despite his wife’s affection, she is still cold towards him and is highly possessive, leading Cernunnos to have a rather withdrawn demeanor. He shares many physical similarities with their eldest child, Oberon. His weapon is a moonsilver hatchet that he can throw and swing with terrifying force and accuracy.

Mabuka’s favorite servant, Rith-Scáth is a shifter, able to turn into a shadow raven, a dark wolf, a shadowy horse, or back into a normal shadow fae. He is most famous as Mabuka’s mount during the Wyld Hunt, and acts as her personal messenger and a favored agent of her will. He is a cruel trickster and enjoys toying with others. Quite fast, he enjoys racing against other fae to try and improve his own speed, and thus increase his usefulness to his mistress.

Known as the Steel Warrior, Neo is Oberon’s sparring partner and a former member of the Ravencowls, but when Oberon split off she followed him. She is regarded with a mixture of fear and awe for wearing enchanted steel armor over padded clothes to keep it from burning her, and wielding an enchanted steel sword. Neo is both a stern warrior and a hardy drinker. She most enjoys performing new feats to tell tales of or assisting Oberon in such feats. She doesn’t say much of her personal life, and court gossip suggests she’s jealous of Titania because she herself had a childhood crush on Oberon.

The Lady of Song, the Harpy Queen or Lady Feather, is a former wild fae and a manipulative but rather neutral fae witch, having dealt with hags, she’s a user of hexcraft, as well as a rather traumatized individual. She lives each day as though it could be her last due to her trauma, and is exceedingly proud of the cliffs and skies of the Faewild over which she feels she has the right to rule. She admires Oberon’s strength of will and is excited at the prospect of a new Unseelie order.

De’mor is the de-facto leader of the Wild Circle, as he has been the most vocal about his support for the wild fae of Kerios banding together. Famed as a hunter for his cunning and his ingenuity, he keeps the Wild Circle united through a passion to preserve themselves and the land they love. De’mor, unlike many fae, is eager to collaborate with mortals and assist them in exchange for the fae lands remaining wild and free— at least until they can return to the Faewilds once more.

Riscari of the Blooming Circle is more relaxed than one might expect, for someone who was intimately aware of Kerios splitting apart. To them, the flora of Kerios will remain, and they will grow regardless of whatever happens, so why bother with affairs they cannot control? Thus, the Blooming Circle chooses to ignore their strange plight, choosing to celebrate their life as they have it… and enchant mortals to entrap them in thorns while their minds are filled with dreams sweet as nectar.
