- The Seelie Court is one of the courts who historically ruled the fae, and which still exists among modern Kithain. All Changelings (save the Thallain) have seelie and unseelie aspects, expressed in their Legacies, but each individual is ruled by one and embraces the way of life of the corresponding Court.
- The Seelie Court is a division of faeries and their land, along with the Unseelie Court. They are led by the Queen of the Seelie Court. Because of the mysterious nature of the Fair Folk, not much is known about them. However, in comparison to the Unseelie Court, Seelie Court faeries are seen as generally "good", mainly because they are less evil and possess a more lighthearted attitude than their Unseelie counterparts.

| abstract | - The Modem Seelie philosophy can be summed up as: “Mortals are precious and fragile things, weaker than we are in some ways, stronger in others. They are a limited resource, and only by understanding and careful management can we hope for them to see the future.”
- The Seelie Court is one of the courts who historically ruled the fae, and which still exists among modern Kithain. All Changelings (save the Thallain) have seelie and unseelie aspects, expressed in their Legacies, but each individual is ruled by one and embraces the way of life of the corresponding Court. While often characterised by outsiders and even inexperienced kithain as the "good" court, the Seelie Court is really defined by the virtues of honour and love. While this would seem to fit in with notions of "good", knightly chilvalry may conflict with the morals of the modern world and the fae idea of courtly love is sometimes much removed from the reality faced by mortals. In many ways, the Seelie Code is rooted in martial traditions and the mostly forgotten dreams of the medieval world. Before the Shattering, the Seelie Court ruled from Beltaine to Samhain, through the Spring and Summer. The tradition of changing rule between the Courts ended during the Interregnum, and since the Resurgence the Seelie have held power in most parts of the world. This is likely in part because the Seelie have generally had better relations with mortals than the Unseelie, and with the gates to Arcadia closed, mortal relations are more mportant than ever.
- The Seelie Court is a division of faeries and their land, along with the Unseelie Court. They are led by the Queen of the Seelie Court. Because of the mysterious nature of the Fair Folk, not much is known about them. However, in comparison to the Unseelie Court, Seelie Court faeries are seen as generally "good", mainly because they are less evil and possess a more lighthearted attitude than their Unseelie counterparts. Seelie Court faeries expect courtesy and favors to be fulfilled, otherwise, they demand retribution and avenge what they see as insult or offense. While to them, their notions are good and benevolent to humans, the execution and their choice of actions are not as much; they are quite deceptive and self-serving. They are also quite prone to tricks, pranks, and mischief. Though faeries cannot lie, they are not always fully honest, often twisting their words and speaking half-truths.
