Spring — Growth, renewal, beauty, love, and hidden perilOverview
The Spring Bloom Court is one of the four major seasonal courts of the Feywild and the most outwardly benevolent. Ruled by Queen Lyris, the court governs the season of renewal and transformation—budding flowers, first loves, and the waking world after winter’s slumber. Yet beneath the splendor lies a dangerous truth: growth feeds on death, and every bloom bears a thorn. The Spring Court’s influence on Tarnith is strongest during the Midspring Convergence, when The Verdant Veil thins and fey magic flows freely into the land.Court Aesthetic
The realm of the Spring Bloom Court is a place of eternal dawn. Cherry blossoms drift on the wind, crystalline streams sing lullabies, and palatial glades shimmer with dew. Fey knights ride on antlered stags, and petals bloom where they step. Its court members wear living garb of flowers, silk, and moss—yet all carry blades, hidden or otherwise.Notable Figures
