The Winter Court is one of the four main courts of changelings found in the Empire of the White Tower. Tradition bound and extremely secretive, the members of the Onyx Court seek to hide themselves from everything from their former masters in Faerie to the humans they once were. They primarily live through spying and secrecy, hiding in the most mundane of places. The court is steeped in masonic codes, honorable park lane safehouses, and other means of living that limit their exposure to the world at large while maintaining the Britishness of the court. They are especially skilled among all the changelings at blending in with the mundane, able to effectively hide themselves out in the open.
