Guess it didn't post my reply when I thought it did so let me try again.

Bhta are not referring to Bhutan, its this......

I Think that's just a Del Torro Vibe. Good ol Abe Sapieny hints.

So something curious to me. I got into changeling after it was over right before the time of Judgement. And I asked the old forums and Shadownessence questions. And you can note Werewolves have a combined population of below 20k, Vampires, especially if you include Wan Kuei have a likely population of 70-80k+, they are normally 1 per 100k, sabbat twice that, but they also seem to blur where Kueijin and Kindred overlap like India seems to have Kindred keeping their ratio, but Wan Kuei also keeping up halfway ignoring kindred pops as dominance thing.

Besides Ghosts, who number in...

Wait their weakness is oppression? What was the other pantheon's weakness, I don't remember. But I'm hesitant to have being a victim and being oppressed as universally defining to my character if I am one of the Orisha, I mean what about playing back on the continent, or better yet hundreds of years ago back on the continent?

[Eldagusto]

I do like they finally discuss Olodumare, I brought up his absence in first ed and changed the whole pantheon to just ignore it. This version seems a step in the right direction. So are we going to get the Loa Orisha as a double spread pantheon? Or are they expanding into the loa later?

So I have an idea for the coming Fimbul Winter. So lets say some changeling hero manages to actually find his way into Fabled Arcadia. This brings Winter to Faery, something the Fae knew, and the Tuatha were awaiting it. They enact a final rite of spring, and rather than succumb to Winter, or possibly even the Fomorians they are reborn upon the Earth. Perhaps this is somewhere between Arcadian Sidhe stealing bodies and the Changeling way ritual, depending on your taste. Was this preventable? Was this expected to happen?



So now the Tuatha are born into new bodies....

Boi is just something people add to include an extra layer of dismissiveness.

The word just means trifling fool but dialed up to Fwird status.

Oh yes I figure such a large Freehold would certainly attract a lot of interesting baddies and badness with all this glamour popping off. I mean the Shadow Court and general Unseelie prankery itself in large numbers could easily cause unpleasant interesting troubles.

I have much reading to do, but wasn't yeah the Near Dreaming pretty accessible locally, and Far and Deep are another matter? I forgot so much. But Menehune and Nunnehi are interesting to bring up here if there was any difference for them.

[Eldagusto]

So a lot of places steeped in romanticism and art often attract changelings, and places such as Paris and San Fran have HUGE Changeling pops. Now unlike Vampires, Werewolves or Mages you can actually have dozens and dozens of Changelings in a relatively small town just because this town say has multiple freeholds or Glades. So I pose this, say you hold a Chronicle at a tiny town and the story revolves around changelings from all over deciding to settle in this place and start up Freeholds, and say even finds some hidden ones. Now if say a town of 40k humans goes from like 3 changelings to 101...

For gifts the limit up to level 3 for other feras gifts.

[Eldagusto]

Oh yeah virgin idyllic wilderness should never have any sort of connection to pure glamour then the slums of s a city.

[Eldagusto]

I very much agree, as I've said before I think the Deep Umbra and Deep Dreaming are the same place must different perspectives.

We need more on Menehune, Nunnehi and Hsien's perspective both on the Dreaming but also on the spirits they deal with's impressions.

@Aya Tari
From my understanding the spirits seem to be pretty chill with the Fera's work, because if the world isn't Apocalypsed yet someones doing something right, and Rage is apart of the Fera and their Job. Conversely Changelings jobs are essentially to exist... so yeah they are doing that, there's like...

[Eldagusto]

Yeah I'm pretty sure its past set in either optimistic light, or fatalistic.
