Fetches

Most Changelings have a Fetch, a copy of themselves spun out of detritus and a piece of their soul and created by the Fae to replace them in the human world. Sometimes those fetches are still living when their Changeling returns from Arcadia. Sometimes those fetches can be used to bring their Changeling back. And sometimes fetches go bad and try to kill Changelings... or their loved ones. 
Some Changelings in some Freeholds will kill fetches on sight, considering them to be instruments of the fae, but not all Freeholds agree with this approach. The Fort Worth laws have been expanded to protect fetches as innocents to be treated no differently from Changelings and humans. The Dallas laws, in contrast, do not include this protection. Because of the potential for conflict between these sets of laws, both sides have come to uphold what the monarchs have terms the Fetch Compromise: 
1. Any Changeling member may claim hir Fetch, to be killed or kept safe as the Changeling wills it. 
2. Any Changeling member who does not have a claimed Fetch may claim one unclaimed Fetch to be kept safe.
3. Unclaimed Fetches may be killed or sacrificed by members whose Freehold Oaths permit this. (Dallas only)
4. Unclaimed Fetches may be defended with lethal force by members whose Freehold Oaths permit this. (Dallas and Fort Worth)
