Just a crazy thought I latched onto reading through the DFRPG books, but, what if the Autumn Court became the Elves of cintra 9aka the elves of Terry Brooks' Shannara series)? The Autumn Court no longer exists, because they became mortal, turning their back on Faerie and their magic (as Brooks suggests his elves did) to protect the world from the 'demons' inside the Ellcrys?
This leaves a few interesting questions:
1) If there was an Autumn Court, what happeend to the Spring Court? And where did they fit in in regards to the stone Table?
2) What are the 'Demons' behind the forbidding, and why would the Autumn Court give up ebing Faerie to contain them?
3) How do winter and Summer view these 'fallen' bretheren?
