5. Scholar:

  • You now know that Banality harms Changelings, but not only is it the power of Disbelief, but the limiting of Imagination.
  • You know that rules, limits and order all breed Banality.
  • You know they feed on creativity and imagination, which they call Glamour.
  • You know that Fairies are in fact born looking like humans and hence are indistinguishable from normal Mortals.
  • You know that the Fairies can feed from the Glamour of untainted places, and hence this is why they stick to them.
  • You also know that they fear Vampires, as they are Banality incarnate, and can stand the presence of Magi and Werewolves, as they have enough creativity and imagination left in most of them to inspire them.
