General Description

The Winter Court or Unseelie Court is one of the Faerie Courts, ruling over part of Faerie in the Nevernever. Their fae members are termed Winter Sidhe, or Winterfae.

Harry Dresden:
Winter’s nature was beautiful violence, stark clarity, the most feral needs and animal desires and killer instinct pitted against the season of cold and death—the will and desire to fight, to live, even when there was no shelter, no warmth, no respite, no hope, and no help.


It is the Winter Court's job to defend the Outer Gates from Outsiders. and the White Council estimates Mab's troop count to be about fifty thousand. Yet at the Outer Gates, there are more than that in one single formation. The capital of the Winter Court is Mab's fortress, Arctis Tor.

Hawthorne wood does not care much for creatures of winter, it burns hot.

The power of the Winter Court and its rulers is tied closely to the seasons in the mortal world. Winter gains power from Midsummer to Midwinter and loses power from Midwinter to Midsummer. During the time Winter is in ascendance, the Stone Table resides in the realm of Winter.
