The Fomorians are a group of beings also referred to as the "Elder Darks". In ancient times they were the most potent champions of horrific dreams, perhaps even evil gods of a sort. Creatures of winter and destruction, they can be seen as the progenitors of the Unseelie. Some say that they might now awaken. They were banished into the depths of the Dreaming after they lost the War of Trees against the Tuatha de Dannan and their followers were cast behind the Silver Path. The Fomorians used to rule many of the Adhene. In the present day, some influence the Shadow Court.
