The Archfey are powerful and ancient supernatural beings that dwell in the Feyrealm, a parallel plane of existence that is connected to the Material Plane through various portals. They can be broadly divided into what are described by the Wood Elves as “courts.” Of these courts, the Seelie, who are associated with joy, mischief, and revelry, and the Unseelie, who is associated with sternness, grit, and resilience, are widely considered the most powerful. Other courts to note are that of the Seasonal Courts. In addition, there are also archfey that do subscribe to any court.
Relations between mortals and the archfey vary by culture. Some, like those of Eordand, worship and revere the archfey of the Seasonal Courts. Others, like the Pactseeker goblins, make pacts with them in exchange for their power or protection. More still, like the Wood Elves, simply attempt to avoid their attention.
Regardless of their preferred relations, all mortals should always practice caution and respect when dealing with the archfey, who are often capricious and unpredictable, and those who seek their favor should be prepared to face the consequences of their bargains.

Relations Between the Archfey[]
Much like the mortals of Halann, the archfey are very much divided and constantly work to undermine each other's schemes and goals. Conflicts between them are as common as anywhere on Halann. Yet, where they differ is that no archfey may directly interfere with another archfey. This tacit agreement is what fey scholars have roughly as “the Accord.”
While the exact details of “the Accord” continue to elude scholars, what is certain is that an archfey seeking to oppose another will always leverage another creature to do so, be they lesser fey or otherwise.
