Best of luck, everyone.I wouldn't say happy so much as pacified. Personally though, it looks like this Changeling won't be for me. Seems like other folks are happy with the changes, so I hope thins Changeling is the best it can be for those who are liking the new direction. So it sounds like Seemings and Clarity are both being re-written? That's too bad, as those were the two deal making or breaking points for me. My guess would have been Crown = Fairest, Jewel = Elemental, Mirror = Darkling, Shield = Wizened, Sword = Orger, Steed = Beast. I hope I helped clear it up! I had assumed that Steed would be more about animals and linked to Beasts, but if Steed are about Movement, Time, and Space, I could be wrong. They can be other kinds of objects that fit the same themes.)Д¬ourt Contracts and Goblin Contracts don't have Regalia because they didn't come from the True Fae, and therefore they don't inherit that aspect of fae power. (They don't all have to look like literal crowns and swords, though. This is why the Regalia are named after items of regal panoply, because that's how the Gentry perceive them-these are both literally and figuratively the Regalia with which they adorn themselves as lords of Faerie. Because their power is so much more all-encompassing, the price they pay is also steeper: they must manifest a physical representation of each Regalia they have access to and protect it, lest it be used against them.

The more powerful a Fae is, the more of those pacts it has the right to draw on. The Arcadian Contracts all come from Fae pacts with the themes as a whole-so you can use Steed Contracts because the True Fae, at some point, made a pact with the concepts of movement and time and space.

The six Regalia are: Crown, Jewels, Mirror, Shield, Steed, and Sword.ДЇor the Gentry, a Regalia is that, but also a part of their vast panoply. For changelings, a Regalia is a thematic category of Arcadian Contracts, and each seeming has a natural affinity for one of them then you choose a second favored Regalia at character creation.
