Titania and Oberon

The King and Queen of Summer. Titania has ruled the Summer Court since at least the Age of Magic--some say she's held the throne since the time of the Flood. It's known that there were Summer monarchs before her, but none are recorded--not in any histories that survived the changing of ages. She is the twin sister of the Queen of Air and Darkness, as glorious and inspiring as her sister is dark and terrible. She is blessed with incredible beauty, cunning and power--she commands the power of summer, both in its life-giving warmth and furious, unrelenting wrath. She prefers diplomacy, with peaceful and just resolutions, and is widely renowned as a mediator and voice of reason within supernatural politics. Yet, she is still a Gentry of the fair folk--her morals do not align with those of humanity, and her logic is not our logic. She does not always act in ways we, as humans, would expect. And that makes her a very unpredictable ally--and a very dangerous enemy.

Oberon was a ruler of the wyldfey--or fey who do not support the major faerie courts. Indeed, he set up his own court, the Court of the Green, and styled himself as "King of the Wyld" for a while. But he was convinced to throw his lot in with Titania during the Middle Ages, and brought his wyldfey to heel under the banner of Summer. It was a relationship of passion, and of politics--but there's little doubt that Oberon and Titania truly care for each other. And yet the heart of a fey is difficult to fully tame, and both Titania and Oberon have had numerous dalliances over the centuries since their union. This fact doesn't stop Oberon from challenging most of his wife's lovers to duels for her heart. It's the principle of things, you must understand.

See, fey live and die on principle, and Oberon has been at this for several hundred years now. Still going strong as the undisputed King of Summer. And lest you need to be reminded, he's the less powerful one in the relationship with his wife.

Titania and Oberon have several commonly acknowledged children, but their eldest is no longer their heir. See, he fell in love with a mortal, as fey tend to do, and when she ultimately died, he attempted to do everything in his power to bring her back. Then he went further, defying the laws of his people by embracing dark magic, communing with demons and outsiders, and violating the sanctity of mortal death. He was cast out by his own mother on the eve of what he believed to be his greatest discovery--and the act froze his heart solid. He turned on his family, his nature, his own archetype, and even tore apart his own name. He became known as Jack Frost, Prince of the Winter Nights, and general of his aunt's armies.
