Dawn Fey

**The Dawn Fey** are a distinguished council of five powerful duchesses from the illustrious Summer Court of the Feywild. They are renowned for their advisory roles, standing in for Queen Titania when she is absent, and maintaining a unique hierarchy. At the pinnacle of this hierarchy is the Duchess of Dawn, poised to ascend to the throne of the Summer Court should Queen Titania ever lose her seat.

## Leadership and Hierarchy

### The Duchess of Dawn

The Duchess of Dawn, a noble and prissy fey, serves as both the leader of the Dawn Fey and the heir to the Summer Court's throne. She is known for her easily offended and uptight demeanor. Her actions played a pivotal role in the exile of Althea and Amity from the Feywild. She chooses to appear as an Aetheria Eladrin.

### The Duchess of Wrath

Representing the embodiment of faerie fury, the Duchess of Wrath appears as an Ignisar Eladrin. Quick-tempered and inclined toward violence, she is a formidable presence among the Dawn Fey.

### The Duchess of the Harvest Moon

A loyal Fey who appears as an Elysarium Eladrin, the Duchess of the Harvest Moon is characterized by her quiet and reserved disposition. She is a dedicated follower of the Duchess of Dawn and plays a pivotal role in the council.

### The Duchess of Mountains and Rivers

Known for her frigid demeanour, the Duchess of Mountains and Rivers is often considered the ice princess of the Dawn Fey. She very appropriately appears as a Cryonix Eladrin.

### The Duchess of Starlight

Radiating beauty and elegance, the Duchess of Starlight, who happens to be the mother of Althea, is a noble and honorable Fey resembling a Stellara Eladrin. She is a distinguished member of the council.

## Exile of Althea and Amity

The tumultuous history of the Dawn Fey includes the exile of Althea and Amity. A seemingly harmless schoolgirl's prank deeply offended the Duchess of Dawn. In response, she and the Duchess of Wrath demanded retribution in the form of a public execution. It was the Duchess of Starlight who, leveraging her position within the Dawn Fey, managed to acquit her daughter, Althea. Unfortunately, Amity was not as fortunate, and she was to take the fall for their actions.

Althea, unwilling to witness the execution of her dearest friend, took it upon herself to free Amity from her captivity. Together, they escaped the Summer Court, crossing over into the material plane through a Fey crossing.

## The Ogre War

Althea and Amity's flight from the Feywild was not without pursuit. The Duchess of Dawn and the Duchess of Wrath, accompanied by the Duchess of Harvest Moon and the Duchess of Mountains and Rivers, led a formidable force of pixies and sprites through another Fey crossing. A twist of fate, however, placed them on the opposite side of the continent from where Althea and Amity had emerged.

Their arrival in a region already inhabited by Ogres set the stage for a series of unfortunate events. The conflict between the Dawn Fey and the Ogres led to intense battles across the local forests, with bloodshed and the emergence of menacing redcaps further complicating the situation.

The contentious relationship between the Dawn Fey and the Ogres in the region of Popularis initiated a protracted and tumultuous conflict, forever altering the dynamics of the Summer Court's involvement in the material plane.
