It was a long time ago that my people, the Nunnehi, sung of Summer Country. A kingdom, rich, fresh and sweet with dreams and full of glamour. A time when anything was possible and there was peace throughout the lands. We shared a sacred bond with some of the others out there, our allies amongst us, the shifters; brothers Wendigo, Croatan and Uktena. Our families, people and tribes were strong then and times were good...though things were not always to last and soon did times change. The foreigners came to our lands across the Great Seas with their diseases and lies.
 +
 
 +
They poisoned the lands and brought with them the cold harsh winter of banality and forced upon us their beliefs and strange ways. That was the time when the great storm came to pass throughout the Dreaming and the horrid things of Nightmares came into being, striking across the lands in suffocation and threatening our very lives. It was only the time of the great sacrifice that held the monsters at bay and our friends along with much of our family were lost. Now...now the Kingdom has a new name. A different time to come as the Seelie courts of the Sidhe try to take firm hold over the area, freeholds within, and around, attempting to enforce their regime and standards upon all who live within.
 +
 
 +
Now is the time for the setting sun and so the kingdom was given root: Kingdom of the Setting Sun for its different times and grasping what was left of the glamour left within the city. Changelings around and alike fight for the dreams that mankind has left to hold back the bitter tides of Winter, some fight the harsh restrictions and politics of the courts while others simply try to survive the banality that eats away at our Fae selves every night and day. These...are different times my friend, though there lie ahead many paths to choose from here.

=Escheat and Introductions=
 +
The interpretation and enforcement of the Escheat has largely been left to the various PC Barons, Baronesses and Commoner Holders that rule over the various parts of the County. Laws are laws for a reason, and it is entirely possible that the punishment for any given offense might vary immensely depending on who happens to hand the verdict out.

* Newcomers to the County should introduce themselves to one or more of the ruling Nobles/Commoner leadership in the region. This is for both the safety of the newcomer(s) and the security of the County. It should also be kept in mind that each Noble may very well have vastly differing expectations of said newcomers, and of how they expect them to uphold the Escheat '''(OOC: try asking on the Changeling channel to set up a meeting, or page/@mail any of the names mentioned below, or open a +request with staff to meet one of the NPCs)'''.

PCs currently are all considered to be members within the County of Lion's Reach.  Until such time as there is enough activity, no one can move off to be a member of another County.  We encourage PCs to work their way up to ICly take over freeholds on grid already to relieve the NPCs setup to care for them currently.

===Building Freeholds===

As of January 2023, anyone that wishes to build within the Dreaming Grid can submit a +request to staff, and depending on what it is, it may or may not be approved.  It is encouraged to ICly work to take over freeholds already on grid that are being held by NPCs first if possible.

−
* Ducal Seat of Caer Buillemilis
 
−
::Caer Buillemilis is located in the harbor district of Prospect.  When a PC chooses to be a member of the Ducal seat, they would answer to NPC nobility, primarily either the Steward, Marquis Melyn Silver Tongue ap Eiluned, or Countess Ymina Even Hands ni Gwydion.  They would have access to the Courtyard and receiving room of Caer Buillemilis, from which they can access a balefire when needed.  PCs who choose to join Caer Buillemilis will be responsible for running PrPs for each other, organizing holidays or social TPs.  While these PCs are welcome to visit the lands of Lion's Reach, they would not receive priority invitations to Lion's Reach PrPs or events and excessive time spent within the Freehold of Lion's Reach will be considered theft of Glamour.  Activities that incite the ire of the Count and Countess will be reported via herald to the Duchy.
 
−
* Lion's Reach
 
−
::PCs who choose to be members of the Lion's Reach County recognize the authority of the Count and Countess and agree to follow the terms of the Escheat as interpreted by them or accept the consequences for breaking faith.  Members of Lion's Reach will have priority to participate in County plots and events.  They have full and free access to all of the County bale fires.  Members of the County are not necessarily members of the Noble court or Household; there are plenty of opportunities to be a relatively independent Commoner, simply one who recognizes the rule of the Count and Countess.<br><br>

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.

But now they only block the sun,
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
  -Joni Mitchell, "Both Sides Now"

It was a long time ago that my people, the Nunnehi, sung of Summer Country. A kingdom, rich, fresh and sweet with dreams and full of glamour. A time when anything was possible and there was peace throughout the lands. We shared a sacred bond with some of the others out there, our allies amongst us, the shifters; brothers Wendigo, Croatan and Uktena. Our families, people and tribes were strong then and times were good...though things were not always to last and soon did times change. The foreigners came to our lands across the Great Seas with their diseases and lies.

They poisoned the lands and brought with them the cold harsh winter of banality and forced upon us their beliefs and strange ways. That was the time when the great storm came to pass throughout the Dreaming and the horrid things of Nightmares came into being, striking across the lands in suffocation and threatening our very lives. It was only the time of the great sacrifice that held the monsters at bay and our friends along with much of our family were lost. Now...now the Kingdom has a new name. A different time to come as the Seelie courts of the Sidhe try to take firm hold over the area, freeholds within, and around, attempting to enforce their regime and standards upon all who live within.

Now is the time for the setting sun and so the kingdom was given root: Kingdom of the Setting Sun for its different times and grasping what was left of the glamour left within the city. Changelings around and alike fight for the dreams that mankind has left to hold back the bitter tides of Winter, some fight the harsh restrictions and politics of the courts while others simply try to survive the banality that eats away at our Fae selves every night and day. These...are different times my friend, though there lie ahead many paths to choose from here.


Rules and Systems


Escheat and Introductions

The interpretation and enforcement of the Escheat has largely been left to the various PC Barons, Baronesses and Commoner Holders that rule over the various parts of the County. Laws are laws for a reason, and it is entirely possible that the punishment for any given offense might vary immensely depending on who happens to hand the verdict out.

  • Newcomers to the County should introduce themselves to one or more of the ruling Nobles/Commoner leadership in the region. This is for both the safety of the newcomer(s) and the security of the County. It should also be kept in mind that each Noble may very well have vastly differing expectations of said newcomers, and of how they expect them to uphold the Escheat (OOC: try asking on the Changeling channel to set up a meeting, or page/@mail any of the names mentioned below, or open a +request with staff to meet one of the NPCs).
County Ruler Court Kith Holdings
Lion's Reach Baroness Ambrosine Deforest ni Beaumayn Seelie Sidhe Barony of the Shadowed Souls
Lion's Reach Baron Marsennio Tordwil ap Gwydion (NPC) Unseelie Troll Barony of the Ebon Watchtower
Lion's Reach Baroness Lavella di Esperra ni Eiluned (NPC) Seelie Satyr Barony of Divertimento Dithyramb Dance
Lion's Reach Baroness Rothia Dandyll ni Gwydion (NPC) Unseelie Sidhe Barony of Astral Seas
Lion's Reach Fletcher Potts (NPC) and Quentin ‘Q’ Oates (NPC) Seelie/Unseelie Boggan/Nocker Rhapsody Freehold - this is held by an Ancient Dragon (NPC). Fletcher Potts and Quentin Oates are caretakers and can be found usually at the Blue Boar Inn


  • Various other Kinain and Kithain can be found and made introduction to in the Waking World. Each are also good first points of contact in the County (page, @mail or ask OOC on the Changeling sphere channel to meet, IC):
  • History of Lion's Reach may be found HERE.

Area

These areas are no longer accessible currently, but are considered off camera still there.


  • Part of the Grand Kingdom of Concordia
    • Some of this is canon (Nobles: The Shining Host 51-53 / Kingdom of Willows 174), some of it is made up
    • Setting Sun may have been carved out of Illusions at some point in the past
    • History of Lion's Reach may be found HERE.

PCs currently are all considered to be members within the County of Lion's Reach. Until such time as there is enough activity, no one can move off to be a member of another County. We encourage PCs to work their way up to ICly take over freeholds on grid already to relieve the NPCs setup to care for them currently.

Building Freeholds

As of January 2023, anyone that wishes to build within the Dreaming Grid can submit a +request to staff, and depending on what it is, it may or may not be approved. It is encouraged to ICly work to take over freeholds already on grid that are being held by NPCs first if possible.
