Description
The Unseelie Court or Unblessed Court contains the most malicious, malevolent and evil of the faeries, and a number of monsters of horrible appearance and fearsome abilities as well. They comprise the Slaugh, or The Host, the band of the unsanctified dead who fly above the earth, stealing mortals and take great pleasure in harming humans.
Often called the ‘Unblessed Ones,’ the Unseelie were depicted as a dark cloud riding upon the wind from where their unnerving cackles and howls can be heard. Though not necessarily evil, they were far from kind. These unsavory characters tended towards evil and were often malignant. Some Scottish legends claim that the Unseelie were fallen Seelie, those who could not live up to the strict standards of chivalry of the shining court. They have no method of reproduction, so they enslave mortals whom they think would never be missed and carry them along to become one of them. The Unseelie Court was almost always out to harm, or at least bedevil and trick, humankind.

She is spooky but sexy. I think I would let her abduct me without much of a fight.
This whole seelie and unseelie thing is new to me. The term "seelie" sounds familiar, but I think that is because (maybe) there was, back when we played it with the dinosaurs round the campfire, a creature called the seelie in Dungeons & Dragons. I'm more familiar with insular Celtic legend and mythology, as well as Arthuriana and the general history of Roman and Dark Age Brittania. Actually, I'm a bit more than just more familiar with the subject. Not that I trust wikipedia any more than I can throw it, but it claims that the seelie are faeries from English and Scottish folklore (e.g., post Norman Conquest). It's a little more than strange that I can't find darned thing on them on my reference shelves. Anyhow, this is my long-winded way of saying that coming across this particular "deviation" was more than just an encounter with a work of art — I also learned something obscure and unique, and I appreciate that.
I sat down to look in your gallery — wow — three hours ago, I think. Whenever I come in here I just get lost. It's so deep, and you have so much great, great stuff. I'll have to dedicate a day to walking through the entire place and taking a closer look at its holdings.
