The Unseelie Court
The ways of the Fey are strange and inscrutable. Their notions of good and evil tally little with human notions of morality, yet insofar as these bizarre beings can be considered definitively evil the worst among them are found among the denizens of the Unseelie Court. Ruled by twisted sidhe nobles and outcasts from the courts of Oberon and Titania, the Unseelie include trolls, goblins and all manner of monsters not seen on Earth for millennia. In short, all the nasty little creatures of myth and folktale. When the portals to Arcadia were open the Club often tangled with the minions of the Unseelie Court. In particular, the devious Duke Rupert of Nightfall and his henchman Vilgreth the Black. The latter is a snout-faced hobgoblin enforcer whose repeated defeats at the hands of the Club forced him to replace much of his body with cybernetic prosthetics. On the last occasion Pandora et al. travelled to Arcadia prior to the Sundering, she found that the rulers of the Unseelie Court had been assassinated and their place taken by an immensely powerful sidhe knight and archmage named Prince Wormwood. This tall blond Adonis was an outcast from the Seelie Court, exiled for his depraved and sadistic appetites, but worst of all he was the eldest child of Oberon and Titania. Apparently, his exile was the direct result of Pandora's interference, and he seems like exactly the sort of creature to hold a grudge. Following the Sundering, there has been no sign of Unseelie activity. However, given the number of Fey who were stranded on Earth it would be optimistic in the extreme to assume that no Unseelies remain in this dimension.
