Changeling
The Escheat

The Escheat are the basic laws that govern fae society. Passed down through the ages, The Escheat is upheld by seelie and unseelie, noble and commoner alike. Unlike oaths, the dreaming does not enforce these tenets. Most of these are, however, only common sense. And woe to the Kithain who disregards them, for the rest of fae society, particularly the nobles, take them very seriously indeed.

The Right of Demesne
A lord is the king of his domain. He is the judge and jury over all crimes, large and small. His word is law. A noble expects obedience from his vassals and respect from all others. In return, a noble respects those lords superior to him.
The Right to Dream
Mortals have a right to dream unhindered by our needs. No one is allowed to use Glamour to manipulate the creative process. Although you may inspire creativity in the mortal mind, it is forbidden to give direct instruction or to infuse a human with raw Glamour.
The Right of Ignorance
Do not betray the Dreaming to Banality. Never reveal yourself to humanity.
The Right of Rescue
All Kithain have the right to expect rescue from the foul grip of Banality. Kithain are required to rescue other faeries or any creature of the Dreaming trapped by those who serve Banality.
The Right of Save Haven
All Kithain and chimera who seek refuge in places of the dreaming must be admitted. Freeholds and other places of the Dreaming must be kept free of Banality and worldly violence.
The Right of Life
No Kithain shall spill the lifeblood of another Kithain. No Kithain shall bring salt tears upon the earth. No Kithain shall take from the dreaming one of its own.
Decrees of the Barony of Shining Waters
The Baron of Shining Waters has instituted several decrees under his benevolent rule. These Laws are few and generous, being instituted solely for the safety and survival of the local Dreaming.
None shall have truck with the monsters of Nightmares: any who are caught dealing with Vampires, Werewolves, Sorcerers and their kin shall be banished from this Barony. Our hold here is too fragile.
None shall strike against the Nunnehi. Too much harm has been done in the past between our two peoples. Too much Blood has been already shed. No more. Keep to our own lands, and seek not to claim theirs.
Ever shall the words and spirit of the Escheat be upheld. United the kithain can withstand the Winter's chill. Rulers without citizens are as nothing.
