Formorian White Court
The White Court is one of the Fomorian Courts.
Cunning, calculating, and unimaginably cruel, the White Court is at one the most human and inhuman of the fomorian courts. Seemingly incapable of feeling the "lesser" human emotions, the White Court practices terrible tortures and spells of alteration on their unfortunate victims, all in the hope of sparking some sort of feeling in themselves. The White Court represents the youngest of the Fomorian Dreams, and its members are subtle in their wintry dance. Even in slumber, their desolate dreams formed the heart of the Forest of Lies, corrupting and twisting those who dwell there. Two great kingdoms, both Seelie and Unseelie, lie at the Forest's edge near a shadow of Arcadia, and observe the original tradition of leadership by which the Seelie rule during Spring and Summer and the Unseelie rule during the Autumn and Winter. Since the White Court's awakening, though, the Winter months become increasingly longer. The Unseelie ruler, Queen Marianna Ailil, may or may not be under the White Court's sway. Fiercely independent, her soldiers have been involved with clashes against those of the fuath glaistig, Queen Lir of the Winterweir. A major point of contention seems to be over a Green Path of Balor that leads into the Middle Umbra and beyond. Meanwhile, the White Court itself has been active. Some theorize that the first of them awoke during the Resurgence in 1969. Since then, their phantom hand has reached far indeed, influencing events throughout the Forest, the Blotkeldur swamps, Kureksarra (there they await the awakening of their crimson brethren) and in the Autumn World. Perhaps the most gruesome of the White Court's servitors are a spider-like race known as the Aslynthi. When they appear in faerie guise, those of the White Court are pale, gaunt, and beautiful beyond description, reminding some of the sidhe.
