Unseelie Court

Unseelie Court, sometimes known as the Shadow Court, is one of the leading and more dangerous courts of the Feywild with "complex political system". Potentate Sammanar is the head of the Unseelie Court and the Keeper of the Sun's Shadow, the domain of the court that borders the Sablecast Grounds.

Description
The Unseelie Court has a volatile relationship with the Seelie Court, interchangeably forming alliances and becoming enemies in a loop.

The court often organizes performances at their local theater, including appearances of the Royal Troupe of the Unseelie Court. At the end of the performance, they abduct patrons of the theater for unknown purposes.

The agents of the Unseelie Court are equipped with a Yore Mirror, Ira Wendagoth's creation, that contains corrupted versions of the Unseelie assassins.

The court employs eremads to guard the Shivering Keep and hires hunting parties to scan the surrounding territory of the Sablecast Grounds. The members of the hunting party wear soundless metal armor, carved wooden masks, helmets adorned with horns or antlers, and decorate themselves with beads and "odd little bones".

According to Fearne, several of her "aunties" work at the Unseelie Court.

Campaign 1: Vox Machina
During Vox Machina's one-year break, Keyleth, Vax'ildan, Vex'ahlia, Pike, and Tary visited the Feywild and secretly watched a performance of the Royal Troupe of the Unseelie Court at the Theater; at the end they apparently saw an "entity" step back into a doorway.

Before Campaign 3
Shortly after Fearne Calloway's birth, Oleander Calloway saw an oracle vision of Ruidus, saw the red light widening, destroying the life and desolating his homeland, which shook him. Although, after their return to the Feywild, the red moon seemingly vanished, Ollie and Birdie Calloway remained worried and sought support from the courts. Through with no avail, an Unseelie agent came to them, threatening not to speak to anyone about what we saw, which made them even more worried and suspisios of the red moon and the Unseelie Court with it.

Calloway family followed them back to the Sablecast Grounds, outside of the Unseelie, uncovering a covert meeting of the higher court members or the court agents with Exandrian military. They were in the process of constructing an apparatus similar to the Veilscatter Scope. There, Calloways saw through the illusion the court put up and noticed that Ruidus is still in the sky. Calloways got a bad feeling about this device and, not revealing that they saw the gathering, the family inquired with the Unseelie and tried to warn them, but got truly aggressive, pushing them beyond borders. Next step, Birdie and Ollie broke in, stole "what looked like the shiniest piece of that machine and that looked important", and ran, bringing it to Morrigan for identification.

Campaign 3: Bells Hells
Working for the Unseelie Court, Yu Suffiad met and joined Bells Hells in Bassuras in order to track down the Calloway family and bring back the Moontide Crown, the family had stolen. Yu mentioned that the court was hoping to use it "for the betterment of the entire Unseelie Court".

When the party met Birdie, she explained that the reason she and Ollie had stolen the crown was because Fearne had been born on the Material Plane during a Ruidus flare. Ollie later had visions of Ruidus encroaching on the Feywild and destroying it, and a year following those visions, saw Ruidus's light within the Feywild. They went to the courts for help, but received none, and in the process learned that the Unseelie Court was hiding Ruidus's presence, as well as working on an unknown device with collaborators from the Material Plane. The Calloways then stole the Moontide Crown from the device and fled back to Exandria in the hopes of learning more about Ruidus.
