Faerie Plane
The Faerie plane is an alternate world where those of the faerie races originate. This is just the physical plane, however. On the Ethereal plane exist the nature spirits, the Faeries, and Elementals. The ethereal plane can be considered a 'shadow' of the physical plane in that they closely mimic each other. The nature spirits are very powerful, since they command the forces of the elements themselves, and cannot be bound or coerced by magical means. They have their own agendas and thus are very dangerous individuals to deal with. Divided into two groups, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, they are led by a King and a Queen, respectively.

The Seelie court commands the Sidhe, one of the two most populous of the faerie beings. They are considered good by nature. However, they are not led by morals or ethics, and thus are still quite unstable entities to deal with. Led by the powerful King Sandoval, the Seelie Castle remains strong against the fey.
The Unseelie court commands the Fey, a less ethical and even more dangerous group of faeries. It is said that the faeries were once members of the physical plane, and when the war of the Angels and Demons occurred several millennia ago, they took neither side, and were completely neutral. As a result they were punished, cursed to exist forever on the ethereal plane without permanent shape or form, and therefore long to become flesh and blood again, as is foretold in the future final conflict between the Angels and the Demons. The Unseelie Court is lead by Lady Tirona, a ruthless leader.
Guide to Unseelie Castle
Eanoss Azelmar is a many storied hotel with a hollow center which is a terrarium. The spiraling staircases made of crystal are matched nowhere in elegance on the mortal plane or faerie plane. Inscrutable detail is taken every day by the hosts of Eanoss Azelmar to provide the best retreat available. It is said that the incredible services here are merely a façade protecting a hidden treasure.
