Open Question

[jarandhel]

What are the vices of the Seelie Court? What are the virtues of the UnSeelie Court? And vice versa?

I'd prefer it if members of each court answered about their negative perspectives of their own courts and their positive perspectives of the ones they don't belong to, since I can see this quickly getting into a set of accusations or propaganda and away from reality if people start talking negatively about courts they don't belong to and positively about ones they do. But I won't be too strict about that as long as people are trying to be constructive in their answers.

What's negative about each of these courts? What's positive about each of them?

I have the weirdest hunch that the responses I get back are going to correspond quite well to two human groups I'm observing... which kinda freaks me out.

Why does the way it seems to work out seem to be odd? Seelie does not equal good, after all. Tradition and order gone wrong can lead to stagnation, inflexibility, and intolerance.

We have both Seelie and Unseelie in our system. On both sides there are the good and bad examples of their kind. It's when vices or virtues are too strongly expressed that there becomes problems.

It is all a game of balance.

*shrugs* Mostly I was just expecting it to be the other way around when I had the inkling they might correlate. It's hard picturing Dusk as Unseelie, for one thing. ;-)

I can't agree with you more... it is all a game of balance.
