Storyteller: Phil McCrumb

The year is 2022. The place is Southern California -- Orange County, to be more specific.

You are part of a unique and secret Changeling Freehold whose purpose is to protect all the Changelings living in Southern California from Fae intrigue, loyalists, privateers, and anyone or anything else who might endanger the Changeling community.

You are empowered by the Freeholds and the Courts to act as agents, handing out harsh warnings and severe punishments. It's not a fun job, although at times it is quite exciting (usually in all the wrong ways). The assignments you take -- and their successful resolution -- define your status and reputation among the various Freeholds and Courts not only in Southern California but also beyond.

Your Freehold has but seventeen members -- including the current leader. All seventeen of you are agents, but you have found that you work best with three or four other Changelings who have the same desire to "do it right" although their motivations are diverse and... often disturbing.

Sometimes your job takes you to far away places: Paris, Sydney, Cairo… Sometimes your job takes you to places even further away: The Hedge. There’s a certain charm to the Hedge… a dark, troubling, mostly dangerous charm; and every time you have to go there your Clarity screams and groans at you. And usually for good reason.
