Fae

The fae are divided into the summer and winter court. Each court is responsible for their respective season and the ebb and flow in their power represents them. The differences in fae become more pronounced as the become higher up in their respective faction. At the lowest of fae they may not even be able to invoke their elements.

Summer Court
The Summer court employs fire magic and is more focused on the trickster side of fae. They will often play games with villagers such as stealing things just as they’re needed or opening gates to paddocks. This isn’t to say that they are not dangerous, they delight in all pranks, even a sword the will fall as soon as someone walks through the door.

Winter Court
The winter court employs ice magic and is focused on bartering trades. They will offer mortals little hints of power, allowing peasants to taste wonderous foods, or nobles the high of status. The gifts they give are always with a hint of pain, and in the end they can never really be what you want them to be. The food won't fill your belly and the power you craved will slip through your fingers just when you truly needed it.
