The Kiasyd’s connection the Wyld through her knowledge of Mytherceria has affected her as if she were True Fae. The sound of the faithful can be extremely painful to the Kiasyd. The sound of church bells, or other religious music, such as a Jewish chant or Muslim adhan, forces the Kiasyd to roll for Rötschreck (difficulty 6). Only players with at least one dot in Mytherceria can take this Flaw.

• Sidhe's Curse (4 point Flaw)
  

Kiasyd with this flaw are closer to their fae natures than their fellows, but instead of gaining power, they gain a susceptibility to Banality (see Changeling: the Dreaming). You have a Banality rating like any other changeling and can gain Banality in just the same way (killing fae, destroying chimera of faerie treasures, spending too much time with other old vampires) and if you ever reach 10 permanent Banality, your faeries soul dies and you lose all ability are Mytherceria. Then things really get bad when all your pent-up "karmic balance" from ages of fate manipulation comes back to haunt you, with a vengeance.

• Geasa (1-5 point Flaw)
  

You begin the game with a geasa of some sort (and not the 6th-7th level Mytherceria powers). Either a Ban or a long-term quest, it may be a family debt or a duty imposed upon you (fairly or not). The difficulty or imposition of the geasa depends upon the level of the flaw. Something minor (a ban against harming animals, a requirement to give to charity) would be worth only one point. More difficult geasa (a ban against sleeping in the same place twice, a quest requiring you to help everyone who asks for aid) are worth more points and affect your entire life.

• Elder Insanity (5 point Flaw)
  

Your age weighs heavily on you mind, body, and spirit. You long for torpor. The days are you spend awake are anhedonistic. Your lack of pleasure and satisfaction drives you to indulge yourself in increasingly dangerous and radical activities. When you aren’t concocting a selfish new plan to entertain yourself, you sleep deeply in torpor. So few of these endeavors provide your with relief, so you become increasingly frustrated with the material world, and the times spent in torpor become longer and longer. Kindred afflicted in this way will sleep for years, decades, even centuries. And when they wake, they are just as bored and aggravated with their unlife as when they went to sleep. It is thought that the Kiasyd have a remedy, but they are also affected by it…
