Before the tavern fills, before the music begins, before the first challenge is set in motion, one choice must be made.

At The Unseelie Gathering, every guest is asked to swear loyalty to one of three ancient families:

The Withered, The Flameborn, or The Nightweavers.

These families are more than symbols. They are rival powers with their own values, histories, and ways of seeing the world. Throughout the Gathering, your chosen family will shape your path, your alliances, and the side of the story you stand with.

You do not need to arrive in costume or in character to take part. Some guests will dive fully into the world, while others may simply choose the family they feel most drawn to. There is no wrong way to join the Gathering.
