(4e Eladrin and Feywild felt different, a bit more magitech urban, rather than seasonal weather patterns.)Because all of the 5e Fey seasons are natural, and are of Any ethical alignment, pretty much all four seasonal courts are "seelie", namely the aspects of nature that can be helpful to human settlements.For this reason, I use Shadowfell for the "unseelie" court, especially the Shadarkai and the Raven Queen herself. These Undead Fey sotospeak are also of Any alignment, but feel more "unseelie" as the death of the natural world.Importantly, there are very many Fey courts in my setting. Every Fey local government is its own autonomous Fey court. Each court has its own form of government, whether direct democracy or monarchy, or so on, depending on local traditions. Some local courts are fully sovereign, and some have made treaties to join up to send delegates to a wider regional court government. Summer, Autumn, and Winter are the largest of these regional Fey courts, but there are other regional courts as well.In 5e 2024, the Feywild and Shadowfell are alternate material planes elsewhere. In these alternate universes the Fey beings are most prominent, rather than Material humans.So, the nature beings of various animisms populate the Border Ethereal, being the ethereal souls that project from various natural phenomena. The Ethereal Plane is exactly the "spirit world". Among these animistic beings there are elves, who form courts in the Border Ethereal of fertile forests and the sunny upper atmosphere.</blockquote>
