I think it'd be kind of cool to adapt the Faerie Courts to elves, as a way of giving them a different "axis" (instead of the good/evil and law/chaos axes).

I know that the Winter Court are all about predation and survival, which can lead to cruelty, but it's rather a harsh pragmatism. As Titania says, Winter is about rationality.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around how to twist the Summer Court from the good/evil axis to the Blue/Orange axis. I know that, in the books, Summer tends to be more nurturing, wanting things to grow (and not caring whether that's a puppy or the newest super-plague that might wipe out all of humanity). As Titania says, Summer is about emotions.

How can I twist Summer more?
It's not necessarily a good idea to "twist Summer more". Just understand that Summer sees whatever increases biodensity as good. Summer's ideal world is tropical jungle from pole to pole.
