The Court of Three

The Court of Three is one of the seven active Bleak Courts of Arcadia, renamed in the early Dark Age. It was renamed by the Fey Gods, The Keening Women, c. NIR 1340. It was previously known as The Court of Four. It is one of the ten active Midnight Courts.

The Court remains an exploration of the Strange Essence of Quantity, but was relegated to the Bleak inflection. It is founded on a philosophy of cardinality. The Keening Women believe that meaning can only be found through understanding the numerological significance of how much there is. Their obsession is with costs, believing everything has a cost and every cost must be paid in full. The Court is still populated by Hags.

The Keening Women irrationally deny that The First Queen was ever in their ranks and that their Court was ever called The Court of Four. Raising the topic is a reliable way to enrage them.
