Many splits in their power structure

Political Impulses There are many political philosophies among the Kithain of the Kingdom of apples. Most of them fit into one of the categories below.

The Principles of Order It is a common misconception that the only Principlers left among the fae are the sidhe nobility. In fact a sizeable portion of the commoner populace is also highly orthodox in outlook. The ethos of the Principlers goes back to the closing days of the Age of Legends. Principlers believe strongly in the right of kings and in the inherent leadership abilities of the sidhe. They believe strongly in the right of kings and in the inherent leadership abilities of the sidhe. Their loyalties are particularly prevalent among the sidhe, trolls, knockers and boggans. Knights of House Dougal and a few Gwydion who do not back Morwen tend to belong to the Principles of Order.

The Progressives Those who bear the symbol of the crown and sheathed sword on their shield or blazoned upon their armor uphold the claim of David Ardry’s sister Mowen. These knights and commoners believe that Lady Morwen should hold the throne in her own right rather than rule as Regent for David’s appointed heir, Princess Lenore. They deny outright any claim that Faerilyth might have to politics, in any form. Many of Morwen’s adherents belong to House Fiona, House Liam, and the commoners.

In additional, it can be safely assumed that as this is the Changeling politics, not all is as it appears. There are secret societies to be discovered and joined/outed. And one would have to be naive indeed to believe the denizens are without their part to play in this theatre.
