    Sweet. Want to compare notes, so we can keep the whole thing relatively consistent, or want to assume we're all seeing but not entirely comprehending, and leave it to each interpreter to determine what's true and what's not.
    Or what's left of the courts (i.e, not much). For the most part, they only existed to keep the various disparate elements from perpetual war, since they're all immortal and they tend to be slaves to their passions. Of course, the problem was that without any outlets to channel their creative energies, and no further social advancement possible, they became, in a word, decadent and hedonistic.
    So elves like Nuada, who were created to fight and are fairly straight forward in their desires, claim that their people are dying and losing their nobility (which they are) because the humans knocked them into land of Faerie, while in fact their people are that way simply because it's more or less the only thing they have to do. I mean, they don't need to work, they are automatically able to do anything they turn their hands to, and so they don't have any outlets to channel into.
    And elves like Talos Lankin hate humans simply because they don't have anyone else to despise. In Talos' case, because he had to watch Harry Dresden hold the love of his life down while she bled to death (and she was trying to help humans!), while he was a foot out of reach and couldn't move, or do anything to save her.
    And most of the others are riding on Nuada's coat-tails because they were once kings and Gods, and had their own lands in the old days which they drew their magic from. And since then they've been reduced to nothing but curiosities, since the Queens have all the power. So they figure if they join the reclamation, they'll get their lands back, if only for a while.
    And most of the other fey used to be their subjects, and are still ultimately loyal to them. They only followed the queens because their masters did, and their masters only followed the Queens because they had no choice, as none of them had the power (individually) to defy them.
    And then Oberon and Kris Kringle vanished, presumed dead, and the Great God Pan is murdered. So suddenly nobody sets the limits on summer or winter, and Nodens is too overwhelmed by grief and rage to intervene, so the whole delicate structure comes crashing down. But given Nodens hunts Nyarlathotep for fun in the original subject matter (Dream Quest of unknown Kadath), someone is going to pay.

    Also, you missed Carlos Ramirez in your roster of the Knights of the Dark Tower.
