Feywild

Power Structure
The Feywild is governed through a combined efforts of the four Greater Fey Courts, the four Lesser Fey Courts and the many Fey Collectives. Standing above from this structure are individual Greater Powers that also subtly ply their influences onto the Feywild and beyond.

The Four Greater Fey Courts
The Four Greater Courts are landed titles that correspond to each of the four Fey Realms. They are akin to Kingdom titles within the material plane. Each ruler is a Greater Archfey.

The Spring Court

 * The current Mantle of the Spring Court is taken by the Blooming Collective ruled by King Minothid

The Summer Court

 * The current Mantle of the Summer Court is taken by the Noon Collective ruled by Queen Falaerith

The Autumn Court

 * The current Mantle of the Autumn Court is taken by the Sunset Collective ruled by Queen Caronon

The Winter Court

 * The current Mantle of the Winter Court is taken by the Glacier Collective ruled by King Teraonth

The Four Lesser Fey Courts
The Four Lesser Courts reflect the inherent nature of each individual fey. A fey is likely to feel some minor form of kinship to another that belong to the same Lesser Courts but the strength of that bond is different for each individual.

The Seelie Court

 * Feys of the Seelie Court draws power from others. They seek to fulfill their desires by observing others. (A Seelie fey seeking love might manipulate two strangers to fall in love and put them through trials so it could witness their love until its satisfied and leaves)

The Unseelie Court

 * Feys of the Unseelie Court draws power from the self. They seek to fulfill their desire by experiencing it themselves. (An Unseelie fey seeking love might dominate another creature’s mind to making it love the fey until the fey is satisfied and discards the creature)

The Sun Court

 * The flora of the Feywild belongs to the Sun Court, which is actually an aspect of the Tree of Stars, Rillivane.

The Moon Court

 * The fauna of the Feywild belongs to the Moon Court, which is actually an aspect of the God of Beasts.

The Fey Collectives
The Fey Collectives are similar to noble houses within human kingdoms or princes within an elective empire. Each Collective serves one of the four Greater Courts, but their service is fluid and shifts of allegiance is common. Each Fey Collective has its own demesne located within the four Fey Realms. The leaders of these collectives are usually Lesser Archfeys.

Winning the Mantle of a Greater Fey Court
There can only ever be four Greater Fey Courts. However, the mantle of the Greater Four are not unchanging. Each Fey Collective have the capability to take the mantle of a Greater Fey Court for themselves. When a Fey Collective takes over the mantle of one of the Greater Courts they gain the following benefits:
 * 1) The Fey Collective replaces the old Collective as the new Greater Fey Court.
 * 2) Their King or Queen ascend the Archfey Throne of that Court and undergoes Apotheosis. The Apotheosis lasts until the Fey Collective loses the mantle of the Greater Court.
 * 3) The Fey Collective obtains all titular land rights to the Realm of the Greater Fey Court.

A Fey Collective that wishes to compete for one of the Mantles of the Greater Courts must earn enough support from its fellow Collectives to challenge the Collective currently holding the Mantle and its supporting Collectives whether through political maneuvering or military conflict.

Alignment of the Feys
In descending importance/influence:

W-axis = Fey Collective

X-axis = Greater Fey Court

Y-axis = Seelie/Unseelie Court

Z-axis = Solar/Lunar Court

The Greater Powers
These are the Greater Powers that influence the Feywilds but do not take an active role in its governance. Some of them are the physical manifestation of Primal Forces. Whatever they may be, the Feywild has learnt to live alongside them and even the Greater Courts are reluctant to confront them, much happier to simply work around them.''' '''

Baba Yaga, Patron of Witches and Mother of Hags
Baba Yaga's presence maintains the structure of a large section of the Material plane, the Feywild, the Ethereal Plane, and even areas of the Shadowfell. Baba Yaga is unaligned. She cultivates her own power for the sake of nothing more than easing her boredom. Eons ago, she placed a curse upon her children, the Elder Hags, and their children, to punish them for their greed and vanity. Often she gifts people with power that functions like a curse, simply because she understands them intimately, yet fails to grasp the finer nuances of mortal emotion. What she sees as a kindness is more likely cruel abuse, or neglect. Not because she is malicious, but so very alien.
