In a nutshell, the Faerie Courts are the paramount social structures of Fae society. However, when one of them is forced to choose, they will naturally prefer to harm than help. Like the faeries of the Seelie Court, neither are the faeries of the Unseelie court always evil. As a group, or the 'host' as we Fae call it, they appear at night and assault travelers either 'physically', emotionally, and/or mentally– especially spiritually ignorant folk. Unlike the Seelie Court, offense is not necessary to bring down their foes or anyone they choose to bother for that matter. The Unseelie, the "Unholy" or "Unblessed" Court consists of the malicious and more evilly-inclined fairies. The most common time of day to see them is twilight and sometimes dawn. Even so, a faery belonging to this court will most definitely avenge insults and are prone to much mischief. The fae of this court are known to seek out humans to warn those who had accidentally offended them in one manner or another, and to return human kindness with favors of their own. The modern word, "silly" which can be understood as happy, harmless, or beneficial. Seelie means "Blessed" or "Holy" and is akin to German selig and Old English sælig. The Seelie Court is seen as more beneficent toward humans. They are not different names for Seelie and Unseelie people just tend to see it that way. When they are used interchangeably, people just clump them together as ONLY Seelie or Unseelie. They each have different roles and regulations. The Autumn Court is closely associated with the Unseelie, but they are separate courts. The Summer Court and Spring Court are closely associated with the Seelie and The Winter Court. These fae are strong, mystique, eerie, ravishing all the same, and devious. The Autumn Court is strongest during the ends of summer and throughout the autumn season.
However, these fae can have much nicer sides than any of the Fae and return great favors. The fae of this court are generally the ones doing the "dirty work" and "trooping". The Autumn Court is seen as the equally malevolent side of Fae in comparison to Winter, but much more middling. Needless to say, the fae of this court are frivolous, venereal, hot-headed and what have you.
UNSEELIE COURT NOBLE KELIR FREE
The Summer Court has free reign over summer solstice and spring equinox months, and are strongest during that time. The fae of this court are generally considered more polite or mannered, albeit they are still very capable of cruelty (but will be more hush-hush, or subtle about it). The Summer Court represents what people see as the benevolent side of the Fae. These fae are peppy, quiet, seductive, emotional, and vernal obviously. The Spring Court is strongest during the ends of winter and throughout the spring season, despite the Summer Court having reigned. These fae are more apt to lure humans in with sweet dew. The fae of this court are generally polite and bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The Spring Court is seen as the much "calmer" ones to the benevolence of the Fae compared to Summer. By and by, the fae of this court are sensible, chilled, dark, baleful, and what have you. The Winter Court has free reign over winter solstice and autumn equinox months, and are strongest during that time. This makes them look none other than evil, however one chooses to define evil. They're more inclined to talk about their ope cruelty. The Winter Court represents what people see as the malevolent side of the Fae.
