This category enumerates those Fey Courts of Arcadia which have (or had) a Bright inflection.

All Fey Courts are defined by the philosophy of Fey God that founded the Court. After The War of Erasure, or more specifically the Reframing by The Concordant Queen, these philosophies are split into Bleak and Bright inflections.

The philosophies of Bright Courts tend to be aspirational, optimistic, and consuming. They appear more pleasant (or at least less dangerous) to Integral observation, but like all Strange thought, they are extremely unsustainable and unhealthy ideologies for mortals.

-=Overview=
+All Fey Courts are defined by the philosophy of [[Fey God]] that founded the Court. After [[The War of Erasure]], or more specifically the [[Reframing]] by [[The Concordant Queen]], these philosophies are split into Bleak and Bright inflections.
-The Bright Courts ([[Commontongue]]) are named for their generally pleasant or positive outlooks and personalities. Though it should be noted that like all [[Strange]] creatures, even Bright Court creatures are unpredictable and whimsical. Lore about The Bright Courts is more common and more complete than most Strange lore, because Bright Courts seem especially interested in the affairs of [[Mortals]].
+The philosophies of Bright Courts tend to be aspirational, optimistic, and consuming. They appear more pleasant (or at least less dangerous) to Integral observation, but like all Strange thought, they are extremely unsustainable and unhealthy ideologies for mortals.
-=History=
-The Bright Courts were formed in the early [[Dark Age]], when some [[Elves]] of [[Pelithos]] migrated across [[The Strange Sea]] in search of a refuge from [[The Endless Night]]. These Elven pilgrims found and settled the Realm of Arcadia. Over time, they were altered, shedding their Mortal minds, bodies, and souls, becoming creatures of Strange, [[Arcadians]]. About half of these Arcadians became The Bright Courts. Some few of these Bright Court Arcadians became [[Strange Gods]] known as [[Bright Gods]].
-They have meddled in affairs of the universe throughout the Dark Age and [[Dawn Age]].
