Kings of Seelie and Unseelie Courts

Another picture in series of my headcanon about Dark!Thranduil and generally the life of elves in the Fourth Age and beyond.

By then there were only two elven kings left in the Middle Earth – Thranduil and Celeborn. They both ruled Greenwood. Thranduil guarded the forests on the North, near Erebor and he was slowly doing insane, and it was extremely dangerous for people to go anywhere near his domain. Celeborn ruled on the south and was more benevolent. This caused conflicts between two kings and they eventually decided to share not the land but the time of the year.

So now Thranduil rules in the winter and Celeborn rules in the summer, and each rules their half the spring and autumn. The rest of the elves choose the king they liked best and joined their courts. In human folklore this division became known as Seelie and Unseelie Courts of Faerie.
