The current ruler of The Court of Autumn and the man who was meant to become the ruler of all of Fey had it not been for the realm's sudden and unexpected shift into the season of Spring. Despite his obvious disappointment, King Thistledown has remained respectful the land's choice in public, however rumors swirl that in private circles he questions how exactly the shift came to be; a rumor which few find incredulous considering the long-running feud between himself and The Spring Queen is perhaps the worst kept secret in all of Fey. Though their feud is essentially public knowledge at this point, it has been so long running and contrived that none today remember just exactly how it started.
