The Seelie and Unseelie Courts are referenced in Demihuman Deities, and is Realms-specific :- "The Seldarine are closely linked with the gods of the Seelie Court and other sylvan deities, and the Fair Folk often include prayers to other faerie powers when worshiping the Seldarine." And:- "While such powers have close ties to the elves, they are not counted as part of the Seldarine." So Titania, Oberon, the Queen of Air and Darkness, etc. do/did exist in the Realms. |

You can learn more about them in Elves of Evermeet, Monster Mythology and On Hallowed Ground.
Alternatively, D20 Faeries from Bastion Press presents an alternate take on Fey and the Seelie/Unseelie. It's a great resource, and was even partly edited by Steven Schend. Who had this little bit to say:-
"For those interested in another take/option on Faerie, there is a D20 option from Bastion Press y'all might want to take a look at.....
Bryon Wischstadt, long-time Realms fanatic and all-around good guy, wrote this guide to Faerie (both the realm/plane and inhabitants) and yours truly edited it alongside him. As both of us (and Jim Butler, Bastion's president, CEO, and chief cook and bottle washer) all have a deep and abiding love for the Realms, there's nothing in there that wouldn't work in terms of using Faerie as a source for ancient elves (or other more modern threats). It's a mix of old folklore and modern conceptions of Faerie and even stats up Old Man Winter, Father Time, and Father Christmas if you want such.
Steven
Who apologizes profusely for plugging a product but it seems relevant to the discussion at hand"
...
As for Nicnevin, I don't immediately recall any specific fey-lore for her in D&D. The ruler of the Unseelie Court in D&D is the Queen of Air and Darkness. |

For the most part.
I'm not sure of the rules-related mechanics for the Courts in 4e, but 3/3.5e FR lore places the fey followers into the Faerûn pantheon. The portfolios for each of the "deities" in the Seelie and Unseelie Courts are referenced in the Monster Mythology and On Hallowed Ground sources I mentioned earlier. |

| That would include Titania, Oberon, Queen of Air and Darkness, and the Unicorn god (Lurue in FR) whose name in the Monster Mythology book I forgot. That book also includes the lycanthrope pantheon! (Bear, boar, tiger, and wolf.) |

| Thanks. That riddle was actually inspired by a song, to be honest. The song was "Where Do Unicorns Go?" by America, from the movie The Last Unicorn. There was a line in the song about fish learning to fly "on wings of silver". I liked it, and thought it fit for a sea god. I used to dabble a bit in poetry in high school, and even toyed with doing a book of poetry for a while. One of my best ones is about Pandora's box. I did several on Greek myths, actually, and a whole series of poems centered on dragons as incarnations of the concept of time- dawn, mid-day, winter, summer, etc.... |

when cities flew over what became sand
battle with another soon did land
hatred for the one who defeated me
my prtofolio he took and left me for dead |
why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

I live under the stone,
and into between rock
to anger me is to be mocked
as the rock comes undone |

My grandmother a demoness,
My father, a thief.
My mother, ill-fated, danced among the trees,
Then joined as one to another.
Lost to my aunt,
In battle-lust I revel.
No mercy given,
In hatred I wait. |
