Autumn Apeldoorn

Intro •Welcome to Court 3• 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 Summer Court is called, Autumn Apeldoorn steps forward. He is the somewhat mysterious Lord of the Fall Court, and has been for the last 50 years. Considering he is of the Unseelie Court, he is well liked by both sides. "The Fall Court is a place of beauty and bounty. Our harvests are rich and our hearts filled with love. We support one another and encourage open-mindedness and change. The Fall Court is a place they can expand their horizons and reach peek mindfulness," Autumn said to the Overseer, his tone calm, quiet almost, but a warmth like that of a fire on a fall day in his tone. There's trepidation as each court makes their case for the hand of the Overseer's child. Eventually, the overseer steps forward. "Autumn Apeldoorn of the Fall Court shall be the chosen spouse," he says in his booming tone, "my child will leave now for the Fall Court to settle, the wedding will be in a month."
