History
The five eras of Changeling history can be divided into the Mythic Age, the Sundering, the Shattering, the Interregnum, and the Resurgence.
Courts
During the Dark Ages, the Fae were organized into a system of seasonal Courts that waged war against each other for thousands of years, until the Oath-Truce stopped the War of Seasons in order to observe humanity.
The Four Courts were:
- The Spring Court, which embraced change
- The Summer Court, which was determined to uphold tradition
- The Autumn Court, which were fascinated by humanity
- The Winter Court, which was the most brutal and vicious court
- Fae without a Court were called Solstice.
Eventually it came down to two courts, splitting the year between Beltaine and Samhaine. Those were known as:
Kithain
Kithain is the name Changelings use to describe themselves. Specifically, the Kithain are the kith born of mortal dreams who possess both a Seelie and Unseelie Legacy. They include the Sidhe and all the commoner kiths.
Other, non-Kithain fae include the Thallain (monstrous versions of the Kithain), the Gallain and the Adhene. Animate Chimera may be alive, but are purely the creatures of the Dreaming, and not generally considered fae.
Kith
A kith is one of several different types of kithain, analogous to the clans and tribes of other supernatural cultures.
- Boggans
- Clurichauns
- Eshu
- Ghille dhu
- Merfolk
- Nockers
- Oba
- Piskies
- Pooka
- Redcaps
- River hags
- Satyrs
- Selkies
- Sidhe
- Sluagh
- Trolls
True Fae
True Fae is a term given to any spirits who are native to the Dreaming, are not chimera, and have not undergone the Changeling Way. While there is no comprehensive list of the entities, it would include Firstborn, Dark-kin, and arguably Inanimae.
Some of the books in Changeling: The Dreaming indicate that many fae who are not chimera live in the Deep Dreaming, and would also be considered True Fae. Presumably, some would identify with the kithain, though others would be wholly unique, or prescribing to some other fae spirit of folklore.
