   * **Autumn Court:** Seemingly rather aloof and uncaring when it comes to matters of mortals and other courts. However, the rulers of Autumn are extremely shrewd and cunning, always knowing how to play both sides when it comes to political matters and come out on top. They are associated with the element of air, and live in a wondrous realm known as //Aeklanata.//   * **Autumn Court:** Seemingly rather aloof and uncaring when it comes to matters of mortals and other courts.

   * **Winter Court:** To outside observers, Dreamt of Winter are silent and somber, often seemingly lost in thought. In reality, the Winter Court is always searching for new information, even going as far as to freeze visiting mortals in an attempt to find the source of the First Dream. They are associated with the element of water, and make their home in a massive glacier named //Rimewind//.   * **Winter Court:** To outside observers, Dreamt of Winter are silent and somber, often seemingly lost in thought.

 +  * **Dawn Court:** These Dreamt present themselves as muses or wise advisors to mortals, always seeking to scry and find clues to the First Dream. They see themselves as an illuminating light, bringing truth and wisdom to the world. They make homes in underground caverns lit with glowing crystals, and their capital is a grand city known as //Pelbriad//.
 +  * **Dusk Court:** Many other Dreamt see the Dusk Court as villains and evildoers, as they care little for mortals and tend to inflict terror and nightmare on them in an attempt to understand them better. They are hidden within the Spring Court's Shadowmarr Forest, where a camouflaged entrance to //Prismeer,// their Gray City, lies.
 +  * **Equinox Court:** Not so much a court, as a loose group of individuals who take pleasure in pitting the other Courts against each other. They quietly sabotage or prop up efforts made by the other Courts, subtly pushing their agendas and goals. The Equinox Court rarely interacts with mortals. Their home, the //Oranas Labyrinth,// is a wondrous place of eternal twilight, only accessible through liminal spaces called "ways" in the Dreaming proper.

 The First Dream is what gave birth to the Dreaming. When the first beings started to dream they brought forth the First Dream, and from that First Dream came the Dreamt. The First Dreamt were among the most powerful and regarded as gods among the Dreamt. From the First Dreamt came the rest of the Dreamt and the denizens of the Dreaming. Many of the Dreamt regarded those ancient times as a golden age, but when The First Dream vanished, the Dreamt lost the ability to dream and thus since then have the Dreamt sought a way to reconnect with The First Dream so that they themselves can dream once more. The First Dream is what gave birth to the Dreaming.
