Trooping and Solitary Fa'ae
We live alone, in groups, as one and yet as individuals. Ye may found our courts filled with many of us. Ye may see them travel together in long processions. Or ye may see lonely ones that live in their sídh or wondering around in the forest. perhaps ye will be picked up in a procession or find help of the one ye might meet. But know even where help is mischievousness exist.
Field Study:
I have watched at night, sometimes more often then others depending when in the cycle. This aristocratic beautiful fa'ae in their long procession. Its like time stands still when they passing by, surrounded by tones and aroma I cannae explain with words. They ride on mares and stallions grander than I have ever seen but to in this procession there are others strolling, dancing and having fun. Their laughs and songs are a bless for the ear, but I say beware ye might find ye self trapped and enchanted and never see ye home again. This procession are filled with many fa'ae of different expression and kind. From the tiniest flying creature we use to call pixie to the grand tall and slender that we human sometimes call a sídhe but know that is their name of the homes. To the greatest creature I can nae find words for, giants, trolls. It's always grand to see them. I once did ride with them myself. The Queen promised me be back when the sun was rising if I didn't set my foot on the ground under the whole procession, as ye see understand. I keep my part of the deal and so did the Queen. That's why I have been able to write this.
I have meet fa'ae that lives in the forests, deep in the hills, mounds or Sídh if ye wish. I have sleep as a guest in the empty houses were some lives. I have trade and deal even just got help because they wanted to help. This one can call the Solitary ones, they aren't always the aristocrat of the fa'ae. Some even lives in humans home, where a sort of contract uphold the peace for everyone involved. Ye have heard the tales of brownies or fa'ae godmothers? But one should know just because they live like this doesn't mean they too can be mischievous.

Seelie or Unseelie
Are we good and bad ones? Have we classified us self into this? nae.
This is something created by human hand, as they seem to only have that sort of perspective of things. That must have come with the men of new religion and humans greed, fear and perhaps envy to us the free. What does this mean then? Well we do sometimes mock humans of their way of seeing things mostly to teach them what they seem to have forgotten. So aye ye might find something called Seelie and Unseelie here. But always remember this divided is humans idea nae ours.
Field study:
I have notice after many years of studding the fa'ae around or world, that everyone belongs to both the seelie and unseelie. For how can ye divide a spirit of nature in to good or evil? For that is what it means. Sure there are some fa'ae that do wicked things and other that are helpful, but know too that the same fa'ae that was helpful can like vis do wickedness and visa versa. I have heard them sometimes call themselves seelie or nae just to have fun at humans. So be careful when ye divide the fa'ae it's nae so simple as ye might think.
I have seen the beautiful ones tall and grand such we call one of the seelie kidnapping a baby just born only to leave a not saying thank ye. To play with the child and leave it to the hounds. I have seen the redcap in their ruins helping travellers rather than feast up on them and drench their cloths and hat in the blood. Say who is seelie and unseelie?

ooc:
Here is a Link about trooping and such. I have tried to let the Trooping, solitary part be more at focus, to step away from the idea that they are courts of bad and good.. as that concept do not exist among fa'ae, specially not like humans view good and bad. Plus to add to the point that most views of fa'ae comes from humans that encounter them, not the fa'ae themself
