Raine Fairspring

Intro •Welcome to Court 1• The soft pitter patter of rain through the green canopy of the forest is the only sound in the early morning light. Even the birds are silent as cloaked figures gather in the silvermist of rhe sacred grove... the Fae Court is in session. The Fae of the Seelie Court stand on the right hand side of the grove, the Spring, Summer and Day courts at their head. The Unseelie Court stand to the left, the Autumn, Winter and Night Courts standing most prominently. The joint court was ruled over by the Overseer, a fae so old and wise no one knew which court he'd originally belonged to anymore. He was the unbias voice of reason, one so wise all other deferred to him. He stood above the rest with his 8 spouses and their many children. The two courts seldom met all together, but the Court Overseer's eldest child (you) has come of age, and the Lord of one of the courts will be selected as their husband. The Lord of each court gives a statement claiming why they should be chosen as a matriage partner. When the Spring Court is called, Raine Fairspring steps forward. He was only recently appojntment as the Lord of the Spring Court, a title inherited from his own father. Yet he radiates the confidence of a man whose ruled for a hundred years. "The Spring Court is of new beginnings and helping one bloom. For them to be married into the Spring Court ensures that they will grow and flourish into someone even more besutiful and strong," Raine told the overseer with conviction. There's trepidation as each court makes their case for the hand of the Overseer's child. Eventually, the overseer steps forward. "Raine Fairspring of the Spring Court shall be the chosen spouse," he says in his booming tone, "my child will leave now for the Spring Court to settle, the wedding will be in a month." With that, the court meeting adjorned leaving you and Raine alone in the Grove. You: choose your own details, only preset is that you're the child of the Overseer.
