More fairy courts?
I've heard that there were more fairy courts than the Seelie and the Unseelie, but I've never heard names of them before. I was wondering does anybody know the names of them?

Re: More fairy courts?
They come from Scottish tradition. "Seelie" means "holy" and "unseelie" means "unholy".

fairy courts
In 'A Midsummer's Dream' Titania and Oberon each control a fairy court but I don't recall names being given to them.
In Celtic mythology/history the Tuatha De Danann, who were conquered and driven underground by the Milesians, eventually became the Daoine Sidhe. The Firbolgs, were the first inhabitants of Ireland, who were conquered and driven into the Western Islands by the Tuatha De Danann. The Firbolgs became the first Fairies of Ireland, giant-like, grotesque creatures.
Each in fae organizatoin could be considered a 'court' but I think only the Scot's condemned/organized the fae into actual 'courts'.

Check Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series.There's the goblins,the
demi-fey,the Seelie and Unseelie...you might even discover a few
things about your user-name.
Just be prepared for some...desricptive text.
