Barony of the Shadowed Souls/right-col

Mundane Places of Interest

Lodestone doesn't have a counterpart in the Autumn World. It does however exit from one of the islands onto the North Canary Beach in a small cove.

Shadowed Souls Escheat

- This is strictly for Seelie/Unseelie characters. If you are Shadow Court (even hidden) your risk on the island will be escalated to a 2. This by no means is a statement that you will be found out or outed. However if you are this Barony is not a safe place for you.

- The opinions stated here are IC knowledge. OOC knowledge may lead to other discoveries.

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles expects that this be observed only in the loosest of terms. Anyone sworn to her court (By agreement or by oath) is expected to uphold the values of the Barony and at least observe this Right in front of visiting nobles, guests or at Court.

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles expects to have this followed, but only if he proves an acceptable leader. If at any time in peace he is seen to be a shoddy leader whom shirks his responsibilities, this right no longer applies on his end.'

- The Chancellor of Lodestone Isles believes those not of the Barony or tenants of it to be guests, and those of the Court to be hosts. Violations of either side should and will be dealt with swiftly.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles says "Know where you are, know when to be respectful."

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles will not allow Ravaging on her land. Period. There is no exception. She will not ask you to change your habits outside of the hub of the Caer but do not bring it within. If one is in an emergent situation they may ask for access to the balefire or Dross. Otherwise Fae are expected to follow their own moral code. Unless they're shadow Court (please see above)

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles dislikes Ravaging greatly, this much is known. However, he also understands that a life or death situation may occur, and glamour may be in short supply. If such a situation occurs, he deems it acceptable, but only under the direst of situations.'

- The Chancellor of the Lodestone Isles pretty much doesn't care. Unless you're on his bad side.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles: The Lady's Lands, the Lady's laws. Keep your nose clean on this

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles requires secrecy. The Autumn people and Winter spies are too prolific these days for this to be ignored. Kithain, Kinain, Chimera and Denizens only. If you're found to have brought someone not linked to the dreaming by fate's hand rather than your own, you will find your welcome quickly revoked. Do not bring them here.

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles believes this to be of the utmost important, but also understands that accidents happen for those newly returned. After all, we all make mistakes, especially those of us whom have yet to fully adapt to this place.'

- The Chancellor of the Lodestone Isles pretty much doesn't care. Unless you're on his bad side.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles says "There are always extenuating circumstances. Unless it is one. Keep them out."

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles encourages the fae to work together, to forget the lines of Legacy and Kith and aid one another in this terrifying time when Dauntain are lurking always and fae kind are endangered..

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles believes strongly in this right. If someone is entrapped by the servitors of banality, friend or foe, lowliest peasant or highest lord, all should be rescued. '

- The Chancellor of the Lodestone Isles pretty much doesn't care. Unless you're on his bad side.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles says "Find yourself in trouble and my guards or I will be there."

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles expects that this be observed. She will observe Hospitality and give succor for those Seelie/Unseelie who need it. However if one is attempting to harm or take her Holdings from her there will be a price.

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles shares his ideals on this right from his house. If any Kithian is in need of safe haven from the fronts of banality, he will gladly accept them into his home and give them aid. Within reason, of course.'

- The Chancellor of the Lodestone Isles is a steadfast believer in the Right of Safe Haven, however will not give toleration if Safe Haven is called when not needed/required or for duplicitous means.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles says "Abuse this law and find me waiting for you at dawn."

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.

On the Isles:

- The Baroness of the Lodestone Isles expects that this be observed. Period. The End. Only the servitors of the Fomorians, the worst Dauntain and those who pose a direct threat to the fae are exception.

- The Baron of the Lodestone Isles believes that although death in any form or fashion is a terrible thing, he also understands that at times it is necessary, especially at times of war. He believes we all return from death. Perhaps in a year, perhaps in a thousand years. As abhorrent as this sounds, it is a simple truth to which he abides. Death is simply a necessity.'

- The Chancellor of the Lodestone Isles pretty much doesn't care. Unless you're on his bad side.

- The Marshal of Lodestone Isles says "Soldiers and Knights are for battle. Do not threaten the people here. You will find the Guardsmen exceptionally well trained."
