Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

I don't know if this will be too spoiler-y but I was curious about the courts system.
Its mentioned in the series that all the divided courts used to switch monarchs half way through the year. Having a Seelie or an Unseelie ruler for half the year. I don't believe this happened in the court of cats.

So my question is, are the divisions of these courts purely based on what type of magic you have, i.e if your decendant of Titania or Maeve?

And secondly does the time of year actually effect a race's magic because of the court they belong to? To what degree?

Where would Oberon's children fall in to this mix? (Particularly the ones not decendant from either Queen)

Did the court of cats not have this system because their Firsts were from both courts?

I hope that makes sense.
Or is the transfer of power more literal, like "Ok, you get to make decisions for the court now. See you in 6 months."
