SEELIE COURT - FEY
You'd think the Fey wouldn't be superstitious especially about other Fey,
but they often are. My father said it came from knowing almost
nothing about any other Fey culture but the one we are born into. Ignorance breeds fear.

Faeries...Sidhe...Sith...The Alfar
whatever you want to call them are not the Tinkerbell we watched when we were
kids. Theyre real, are beautiful and can be very deadly. The Seelie Court are the
more benign, stronger tendency to be good Fey. Though Good can be defined in a number of
ways. Seelie Fey are much more likely to be inclined to working with others in
constructive and beneficial ways. This does not mean that all Seelie Fey are
happy-go-lucky, silly creatures who would do nothing to defend themselves or act against
someone or something; but in almost all cases there has to have been a previous
provocation or wrong that needs to be dealt with. All Fey of this group are ultimately
allied under Queen Maeve, Queen of Air and Light.
The Seelie may not have their magical hands on the pulse of the modern financial world, but they still maintain enough
power to pose a serious challenge. Maeve and her Court are steeped in Old Money and firmly
plugged into the Old Boy's Network. They are also significantly in control of the more
mundane and local systems of power such as the police, the courts, and politicians.
Never underestimate the Seelie Court. For remember their clan motto : "The
thorn arms the rose."
SEELIE CODE
Death Before Dishonor
Chivalry is not dead. Honor is the most important virtue --
it is the source of all glory. Personal honor must not be stained. Sometimes
nothing but one's own death can cleanse the mark of dishonor.
Love Conquers All
Love is the soul of Faerie. True love transcends all and is the perfect
expression of what it is to be Seelie. Courtly, romantic love is considered the
highest form of love, but familial love is pure as well. Anything is permitted
in the name of True Love.
Beauty Is Life
Beauty is a timeless, objective quality that cannot be described, but is
recognized whenever it appears. Beauty is the muse of creation, the ultimate
flowering of the Dreaming. Once found, it must be protected. Many heroes have
died protecting beautiful places, people and things. True beauty is eternal.
Ugliness however is another story.
Never Forget A Debt
One gift deserves another. If you receive a gift, then you should give one. If
you are subjected to a curse, then you should intone one. One oath of friendship
deserves another. Never forget a kindness ... or a slight.
