Important notes

  • We are in the process of converting everything to Changeling 20th Anniversary. If you find something that has not been updated, open a +request so staff can look into it. Anything listed here is still under review.


  • We DO NOT use Changeling: The Enchanted here. Most of it is superseded or overlapped by old entrenched house rules. Some individual bits and pieces have been adapted.
  • Sidhe (both varieties) is currently closed due to overuse. Multiclassing (e.g. kinain + kinfolk) currently requires OOC approval from a kithain with Title 3+ (typically because you're going to join their household/motley, or at least RP with them about the idea of doing so); bboard 25 (Recruitment) may have tips about what they're looking for.
    • Existing multiclass kinain should be careful about spreading yourself too thin. If most of your time and energy is spent elsewhere, then the changeling sphere probably won't spend a lot of their time and energy trying to include you.
    • Current plan is to review these limits in February 2022.

Choose Concept, Heritage (set as Kith for code reasons), Legacies (Seelie/Unseelie)

  • Optional: Court (if any - set as both Faction and Court), House (if any)
  • Shadow Court: set Faction = Unseelie, Court = Shadow
  • House rule: When open, Autumn Sidhe (C20) are allowed and are listed as such on +sheet; Arcadian Sidhe are just "Sidhe" on +sheet
    • 'Autumn Sidhe kinain' indicates that your closest known kithain relative(s) are Autumn Sidhe

Select one of heritage's birthrights

  • If it's an attribute bonus, don't add it yourself, ask staff to set an +effect instead
