Mab wields the power of an arctic winter, calling forth snow, ice and subzero winds to slay those who displease her. She has a tendency to encase individuals in blocks of ice, either because they have annoyed her or as a way of preserving them forever so she won’t have to see them get old. Being trapped in Mab’s ice, victims live forever, all the while gasping for breath that never comes.

Good to know: Mab is one of the four most powerful fey in the Nevernever. She is highly protective of Winter and may look well upon one who has information to help her realm. But she does love her ice sculpture garden and is as likely to add you to it as she is to reward your services.

OBERON

(the Erlking, King of the Summer Court, Ruler of Arcadia, Lord Oberon)

Lord Oberon, the Seelie King, is a tall and slender man with silver hair that falls to his waist and eyes like green ice. He wears an antlered crown and sits atop a throne seemingly grown out of the forest floor. His power radiates from him like the energy coming off a thunderstorm.

As the Seelie King, Oberon has all the powers of summer at his disposal. He can call vines and plants to his aid, wield fire and lightning and turn into a formidable treelike giant. He also has the ability to trap Robin Goodfellow in a form of his choosing, and often keeps him in a cage in raven form when he is displeased with him.

Oberon fell in love with Meghan’s mother while watching her paint and draw in a local park, describing her as beautiful and artistic.

Good to know: Oberon is the most powerful faery in Arcadia and one of the four most powerful fey in the Nevernever. Do not cross him, unless your name is Puck and you can talk the rain out of falling during a storm.

TITANIA

(the Summer Queen, Lady Titania)

Titania is a fey of otherworldy beauty, willowy-thin with long hair that shifts between silver and gold, glittering blue eyes and an aura of arrogance and power.

Titania is an extremely jealous faery, and has been known to be vindictive when her jealousy is provoked. She had Leanansidhe banned from the Nevernever for daring to rival her queenliness. She also tried to go after Meghan’s human father as a way to get revenge for Oberon’s fidelity without harming the human woman he loved and stoking his ire. Upon meeting Meghan, she attempted to turn her husband’s daughter into a hart. When commanded to stop by her husband and denied the pleasure of hunting hart-Meghan down with dogs, Titania sent her to toil away in the kitchen not unlike another famous fairy-tale princess.
