The King of Silver Spires
Sindamintar Morsulion
The Sindamintar (or King of Silver Spires) is also known as the Lord of the Blackwind. A powerful and ancient eladrin lord, it is said that black-maned Morsulion has belonged to different Houses at different points in his life, marrying into some, being adopted into others. No one truly knows what House he was born into, though the Tirnalle, Serkeril and Elenrusse all have plausible stories of his origins. He refuses to allow such things to be discussed in his presence; some even claim that he is common-born.
Although officially aligned with the Gloaming Court, Morsulion has extremely strong ties to the Summer Court as well - explaining the strong presence of Sidhe Houses of both Courts in his domain. The Lord of the Blackwind is clearly aware of both the danger and potential of Liminal's intersection with his city. He permits the Sidhe Houses to choose among their finest for the Sidhe Seats in the Accord of Worlds, while he himself chooses his official ambassadors to the Accord.
The Fey Courts in Arilan Atrin
The Summer Court
X
- House Tirnalle (Valeguard): A distinctly military House, the Tirnalle are a long tradition of warrior eladrin, spellblades and Spire Knights, as long as anyone can remember. They are usually thought of as the foremost of the Sidhe Houses of Arilan Atrin, and tend to hold themselves aloof from the politics of the Houses...or so they claim. Outside of Arilan Atrin, the Tirnalle are fairly rare - their Seat is in Arilan Atrin proper. Heraldry: A sword above seven spires, in silver, on a field of blue.
- House Belegaur (Sunmight): The Belegaur are somewhat notorious among the Sidhe Houses for a simple reason: many of their scions have embraced the worship of the gods. Arguing that what the archfey require of them is fealty and not worship, the eladrin and elves of this House claim there is no conflict between them. While such sentiments would sit ill in other places of the Feywild, so near to the mortal city Liminal, a bit of contamination from the world of mortals is to be expected. It is for this reason that House Belegaur makes its Seat out of Arilan Atrin. Heraldry: A golden sunburst with quillions, hilt and down-ward pointing blade extend out of it, on a field of white.
- House Lotemire (Jewelbloom): The lovers and singers of the Lotemire are famed for the beauty of their faces and their voices across the Summer Courts. Though the House has its Seat elsewhere, the aesthetes of this House are somewhat in love with the world of men, and take great delight in Arilan Atrin's proximity to Liminal. Heraldry: A white rose, with a diamond in its center, on a field of red.
- House Serkeril (Bloodflame): If there is aught the Serkeril are justly known and feared for, it is the powerful magic that runs through its scions veins. Their favored children who are not potent sorcerers with sharpened natural gifts tend to be wizards, and all of them prefer the terrifying spells of elf-fire that are the House's mark of renown. Heraldry: A burning manticore, in red, on a field of gold.
The Gloaming Court

- House Elenrusse (Starblade): X Heraldry: Twin crossed blades in white, surrounded with white stars, on a field of blue.
- House Delduath (Nightsfear): X Heraldry: A violet belladonna blossom, on a field of black.
- House Lomelindi (Dusksinger): X Heraldry: A grey nightingale, on a field of royal purple.
The Other Courts
- House Ringwealin (Frostmorn): Winter Court. The Ringwealin - made up mostly of eladrin, with a few elves among them - tend to hold themselves aloof. Their house takes a great deal of pride in its long-term thinking and planning. They are also carefully neutral in their interactions with other Sidhe, so much so that they have won one of the Side Seats in the Accord of Worlds in Liminal. Heraldry: A gold sunrise, on a field of blue.
- House Aldaron (Treelord): Green Court. The elves and eladrin of the Aldaron are regarded as dangerous and vindictive. They are primal, as befits those in service to the Green Lord, though far from feral - their is a dangerous and haughty nobility, which does not brook insolence or hesitate to declare vendetta against their enemies. Heraldry: A wide-boughed oak in copper, with a copper crown above it, on a field of green.
