[QUOTE="Tessarael, post: 9881688, member: 12909"] I am inclined to portray the Unseelie in the manner in Changeling the Dreaming, desiring change, rather than being evil, though some are. The Seelie represent Spring and Summer; whereas the Unseelie represent Autumn and Winter. The Seelie have abandoned the cyclic shift of Fey power between the seasons, and locked on summer with Titania the Summer Queen. The Unseelie resent this and seek to force the wheel to turn anew. Below is a summary of the Seelie and Unseelie Codes from Changeling the Dreaming (see the [URL='https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/The_Shadow_Court']Shadow Court[/URL] book). [B][SIZE=6]Unseelie Code[/SIZE][/B] They focus on change, freedom, passion, and rejection of bindings. [LIST] [*][B]Change is good.[/B] Embrace it, or fall before it. Stagnation is death. Tradition is a cage. [*][B]Dreams are free.[/B]Creativity, passion, and inspiration should never be hoarded. [LIST] [*]This contrasts with the Seelie desire to preserve beauty. [/LIST] [*][B]Honor is a lie.[/B] It binds you. Freedom empowers you. Social rules and etiquette are tools of control. [*][B]Passion before duty.[/B] Live life to the fullest, and without regret. Duty is a burden. Unseelie Fey act from the heart. [/LIST] [B][SIZE=6]Seelie Code[/SIZE][/B] They have a chivalric code, which can justify rigid hierarchy, elitism, and dangerous romanticism. [LIST] [*][B]Death before dishonor.[/B] Honor is the highest virtue. Seelie must uphold their obligations. Cowardice, betrayal, or breaking an oath is worse than death. [*][B]Love conquers all.[/B] Devotion, loyalty, and emotional nobility, courtly traditions of love guide their behavior. [*][B]Beauty is life.[/B] Preserve, create, and celebrate beauty in all its forms. Ugliness is a threat to what they uphold. [*][B]Never forget a debt.[/B] Every kindness or slight must be repaid.
