The Sparks

Sparks are as tied into the Summer Court as any of it's other organizations, it's origins going back aeons, though much of it was codified a few thousand years ago, hence drawing heavily from Sanskrit. They are the spark to inspire the arts, the warriors, the passions of the sentient. They are the spark of life and vibrancy that makes a life worth living. They are that which begets growth and feed the dreams of mortals. Responsible for many of the innovations of music and entertainment over the ages, the sparks seek to cultivate dreams in the hearts of mortals and spread the seed of passion to all that they inspire.   Divided into three distinct branches, the Sparks have been responsible for much over the years. It is a spark who cultivated the talents of William Shakespeare and helped the Globe Theatre rise to such significance. It is said that the muses of Ancient Greece were sparks, inspiring the minds of mortal men. Sparks have given rise to talent shows in more modern eras and cultivated both fae and mortal talents to spread love of art, performance and more.

They are the technicians, the prop masters, the ones who are the ground level troops of any event.
