House Ailil (ay-LEEL): The most widespread and influential of the Unseelie houses. Members of House Ailil are political maneuverers without peer, although proud to a fault. House Ailil is detailed in The Shadow Court and The Book of Lost Dreams.
House Balor (BAY-lor): This Unseelie house supposedly originated from the offspring of a sidhe and a fomorian. They do not suffer from the Banality's Curse Frailty, as most sidhe, and are also more comfortable with cold iron than most changelings. They always suffer from some deformity (physical, mental, or social) that results from their fomorian blood. House Balor is detailed in The Shadow Court and The Book of Lost Dreams.
House Dougal (doo-GAL): A house with little political power, but probably the most practical of all the noble houses. Members of this house are usually excellent crafters, and smiths. They are able to weave Glamour into their undertakings, but suffer from some sort of handicap that may be compensated for with the use of some cunning bit of craftwork.
House Eiluned (EE-loon-ed): The "house of secrets", these nobles are known for their dabbling in the occult, mysterious natures, their love of intrigue and their skills with the Arts.
House Fiona (fee-OWE-nah): This house is the most popular among the commoners, and tends to be the loosest in its interpretation of tradition (at least among the Seelie houses). They are known for their exceeding bravery, and tendency to get involved in epic tragic romances.
House Gwydion (GWIH-dee-on or GWUH-dyon): The most powerful of the noble houses, politically, they see themselves as the true rulers of the fae. They are able to divine the truth from lies, and have an unfortunate tendency to go berserk in battle.
House Leanhaun (lee-ANN-an or LEE-an-awn): The most artistic of the Unseelie houses suffers from a curse that causes them to age at an accelerated rate. They are able to retard this effect with Glamour, and reverse it with the Glamour gained from a terrible and forbidden form of Ravaging called "Rhapsody". House Leanhaun is detailed in The Shadow Court and The Book of Lost Dreams.
House Liam (LEE-am): The defenders of mortals, those of this house are those most likely to retain strong ties to mortals. They are known for their skill in affecting mortals with Glamour, but are dishonored, and considered oathbroken to the other houses.
House Scathach (SKA-thak): These sidhe are the only house to remain on Earth during the Interregnum, and as such reincarnate much as the commoners do. They are unaffected by Banality's Curse, but are unable to use the Art of Sovereign. They are silent and skilled warriors, but often fall into bloodlust while in combat. They are reviled by the other houses even more than House Liam, as they are not even considered to be true sidhe. House Scathach is detailed in Nobles: The Shining Host.
