Ailil (ay· LEEL)
Distrusted by Houses such as Gwydion and Dougal, they are nonetheless treated as distant cousins by House Eiluned, which is their sister House. Relations have always been fairly peaceable between these two lines of sidhe; many even consider it ironic that the more "noble" of these two Houses is so unrepentantly Unseelie, while the shady and secretive Eiluned claim allegiance to the Seelie Court. They take an active role in changeling politics, openly opposing the stranglehold on power that the Seelie Court possesses. In Concordia, they are often found as a small, underrepresented, yet highly vocal, minority in the Parliament of Dreams.
Affiliation: Unseelie
Boon: Members of House Ailil are known and feared for their political acumen. They automatically win all ties on challenges involving political manipulation, Subterfuge, or Leadership.
Flaw: Despite their insistence at the great differences between their House and their enemies of House Gwydion, members of House Ailil are cursed by the same arrogance of the Seelie adversaries. Ailil are almost totally incapable of admitting their mistakes. They tend to take on tasks that others would shy away from, convinced that their own cunning or skill will see them through. In non-combat situations, they must burn a Willpower Trait to admit that they are wrong, even when it is obvious to everyone else, and even themselves.
