The Winter Court is one of the Faerie Courts, ruling over part of Faerie in the Nevernever. It is ruled by the three Winter Queens.
Faeries allied with the Winter Court are, among others, termed Winter Sidhe, or Winterfae.
Iwan the Crow describes Winter: "Winter's nature was beautiful violence, stark clarity, the most feral needs, and animal desires and killer instinct pitted against the season of cold and death—the will and desire to fight, to live, even when there was no shelter, no warmth, no respite, no hope, and no help."
