[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 4735048, member: 51930"] I've opted away from the standard model, though not entirely. My setting has the Fey more like Hellboy 2. The Sidhe Courts are organized around the seasons, and in their own Realm one court rules while its opposite is moved into the Mortal Coil. Right now the Winter Court is laying claim to the world, and a long, bitter winter is soon to come... though it's still a cold autumn, with a cursed harvest, etc. (Nature ain't doing so hot right now). Deep in the Other World, Summer is holding sway, but mortal PCs likely can't get there. However, rather than a Plane, the Fey are organized around small pockets; travel in this otherworld is possible, but I'm going for more of a Neil Gaimen feel, or David Bowie, than I am FR's happy-clappy woodsy realm. For example, I'm going to use the info from Thunderspire Labyrinth, but have it ruled by some Eladrin Nobles. As well, all sorts of non-human creatures dwell in these pockets, with non-mortal ethics deciding how things are run. Strange bargains abound, for instance. Also, Eladrin are very pale, and not as nice as Tolkien. We had one in the party (but the player was soooo nice, so it didn't come through; but we like him anyway), and I'm about to bring in a host of them to meet the party. As an added bonus, when in Fey Zones, if you will, Eladrin and Elves (and goblins and dwarves; fey, basically) don't age. In general I'm trying to have the Fey Courts look more like a DiTerlizzi picture, or Mignola, with all sorts of creatures that hang out there (minotaurs, goblins, Trulls (goblin-like artificers; troll name was taken), eladrin, salamanders, gnomes, human wizards, etc.). This to contrast a regular setting that feels like Gears of War or Artesia: brutal, pointless mortal world with lots of mud and moral ambiguity. [/QUOTE]
