[[Glamour]] created and maintains a separate realm of imagination known as the Dreaming, from which the fae originally came to the mortal world. During the Iron Age and the subsequent rise of rational thought and science, glamour became less common in the real world, and the opposing force of banality could injure or kill the fae. In response, the fae nobility (the [[sidhe]])&amp;#160; withdrew to [[Arcadia]], their home deep in the Dreaming, and the commoner fae developed &amp;quot;the Changeling Way Ritual&amp;quot;, and became changelings. Eventually banality became so strong that the Dreaming was sundered from reality. This time period is known as the Shattering and it is associated with the time of the Black Plague. It was at this time that the Changeling Way ritual was created allowing fae souls to inhabit human bodies. For many years commoner changelings lived amongst mortals and made their way as best they could in a world where glamour was fading, this was the Interregnum. Then came the Resurgence, man landed on the moon and belief and dreams broke open the doors to Arcadia. Some sidhe were able to return by inhabiting existing human bodies. With the return of the sidhe and their desire to once again rule all changelings, the [[Accordance War]] broke out. Commoners and nobles fought for control of the [[freeholds]] and glamour until a peace accord was reached by the new High King David&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

In &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;game, a changeling is a fae soul born into a human body&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Early in the human&lt;/ins&gt;'s &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;life, usually before puberty, she undergoes the &amp;quot;[[Chrysalis&lt;/ins&gt;]&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;]&amp;quot;, a magical awakening of the fae soul which previously lay dormant. Once through the [[Chrysalis]], the Changeling exists simultaneously in both the real world and in the &amp;quot;chimerical&amp;quot; reality of the fae, where creative ideas and imagination have substance. (The metaphysical aspects of this are the complex concepts present in the game.) The human soul becomes joined with &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;fae soul&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Each Changeling has &lt;/ins&gt;[&lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;[Seelie|Seelie]] and [[Unseelie]] aspects of their being, one of which dominates a given Changeling&lt;/ins&gt;. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;The courts do not easily map onto human ideas of good and evil, but instead represent a host of philosophies - light and shadow, law and freedom, duty and passion. In days past rule would be divided between the courts, the Seelie court ruling in the Summer months from Beltaine to Samhain, and the Unseelie court in Winter from Samhain to Beltaine, but now an uneasy truce exists and each court rules its own regions. Each Changeling has two legacies, one for each court, which represent how the dual nature of her fae soul is expressed&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

The kiths are based on fairy archetypes from various sources, and while the most common kiths are drawn largely from Irish mythology, many others also exist. The descriptions below touch on only a few of the types of stories or traditional fairies which correlate to each Kith&lt;/ins&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
