Barony of the Starless Lodge/right-col

Mundane Places of Interest

The Lodge doesn't have a counterpart in the Autumn World though there is rumored to be a rath hidden in the Nameless Woods.

The Starless Lodge Escheat

• This is strictly for Seelie/Unseelie holding. Shadow Court are forbidden from the Lodge.

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 Lodge's Interpretation

• • The Baron of the Starless Lodge expects that protocol and decorum be strictly be observed when visiting the lodge especially by anyone sworn to their court. The Lodge recognizes commoner titles and expects those to be observed as well.

The Right to Dream

Mortals have a right to dream unhindered by our needs. The Dreaming will die if we steal directly from the font. 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 Lodge's Interpretation

• • Ravaging at the Lodge or it's associated properties is unlawful and forbidden. Those found doing so will be called to court in violation of the Escheat.

The Right of Ignorance

Do not betray the Dreaming to Banality. Never reveal yourself to humanity. Not only will humankind hunt us down for our wisdom and our power, it will overwhelm us with Banality and destroy our places of power. The more humanity knows, the more ardently it will seek us, draining the world of Glamour and petrifying our essence with its basilisk's gaze.

• The Lodge's Interpretation

• • The Baron takes this section very seriously and expects all fae and fae-blooded to preserve the Dreaming not matter the cost. The Baron believes that all must do their part to persist until Arcadia is attained once more. Those who bring Banality to the Dreaming will be dealt with harshly."

The Right of Rescue

All Kithain have the right to expect rescue from the foul grip of Banality. We are in danger together and must strive together to survive. Never leave anyone behind. Kithain are required to rescue other faeries or any creature of the Dreaming trapped by those who serve Banality.

• The Lodge's Interpretation

• • The Baron believes the Dreaming comes first and those of it deserve equal protection under the law. Differences must be put aside for the sake of the Dreaming and it's people.

The Right of Safe Haven

All places of the Dreaming are sacred. Kithain cannot allow faerie places to be endangered. All those who seek refuge in such places must be admitted. Freeholds must be kept free of both Banality and worldly violence.

• The Lodge's Interpretation

• • Freeholds are sanctuaries wherein the fae can rest and shrug off the hardening of the Autumn World provided they are worthy. These sanctuaries must be kept pristine and free from Banality. It is the duty of the ruler of a Barony to ensure this. Any may ask for sanctuary, however, the Baron as the right of refusal if those requesting bring endanger the holding or are of ill character.

The Right of Life

No Kithain shall spill the lifeblood of another Kithain. No Kithain shall bring salt tears unto the earth. No Kithain shall take from the Dreaming one of its own. Death is anathema.

• The Lodge's Interpretation'

• • The Lodge is a place of learning and retreat and it's gardens and libraries are to be kept free of threat. Violence is prohibited unless it is in defense of the Lodge
