Dreaming Within

## The Creative Potential & Banality

It is very hard to explain, much less roleplay, the way that changelings see, hear, taste, etc., everything that humans do *while at the same time, experiencing the chimerical reality of everything*.  They don't typically pick and choose which point of view they experience; instead, they pick up on the inherent nature of people, places, and thing: the truest potential, so to speak.  This potential might be a beautiful thing to behold, it also might be horrific.

It is almost as if a changeling's physical body remembers the physics of terrestrial reality while their minds behold the grandeur of chimerical reality.  Solid objects in the mundane world still have to be accounted for even when a changeling's faerie self, their mein, is of a drastically different size or shape. When a changeling acts in a way where they defer to mundane physics at the cost of their mein (*such as a seven foot troll stuffing themselves into the backseat of a tiny ca*r), they will gain banality.

When something or someone is so devoid of potential or be anything greater (in good ways or bad) than it is?  That object or person or place can be described as **banal**.  Banality is a Changeling's kryptonite, and yet it is also what enables that fairie soul to remain tethered to a human consciousness.  A complete lack of banality will cause a changeling to lose themselves and their tether on physical reality; too much banality, however, will likewise destroy them.

## Glamour, Chimera & Cantrips

This creative potential that Changelings pick up on isn't passive, but dynamic.  It is a form of energy called Glamour . Glamour in a manifested physical form is known as a chimera .  When imbued with Glamour, changelings not only experience the world as a magical, amazing place, they are able to do magical, amazing things known as cantrips.

Efren Weems

## Boy Genius

Before his Crysallis, a young boy named Eli Smith would spend hours with his parents building things with leggos and anything else that came useful.  Rather than the custom 'sets' though, Eli preferred huge boxes of random parts and had his own system for organizing them all.  When he had his Crysallis at the age of 7, he became even more obsessed but was no longer satisfied with just ordinary plastic blocks.  He started to draw and also play minecraft with degrees of both obsession and finesse that amazed his parents.  He tried to keep himself, his new self, a secret from them and the rest of the world.  Then a few months later, Eli woke up one night to find himself being kidnapped by a group of odd creatures- who were more or less just like him.  Eli refused to leave, however, without at least leaving his parents a note, assuring them that he loved them but he just had to leave, to follow his dreams.

## Son of Anarchy

Eli's mentor was a Redcap grump called Frankie Frost who's motley was a biker gang of commoners.  They'd noticed Efren while riding through town.  By the time Efren had his saining, he was a beloved member of The Crew and rode for them another two years before splitting off on his own to find his fortune in San Francisco.  He joined a Knocker-run freehold and learned the crafting trade, bringing with it his talents and his adoration for the bikes The Crew would steal and use for as long as they could.  Effren reasoned that while the crafting of chimerical bikes might be frowned on by many of the more hidebound changelings who clung to long dead medieval culture, it was the perfect blend of his passions.

## The Master of Chrome & Steel

Now biologically quite old, Efren is one of the richest commoners in Southern Pacifica.  His title of 'Master' holds equal weight as the title of Sir even with the sidhe of Caer Angeles.  He has never sworn fealty to any house, but the sidhe tend to be steady customers for him- and he often makes them pay not simply in cash money and dross, but in personal favors that only expand his influence into the nobility.  He is not exceptionally politicsl, however, and is willing to supply both his neighbors in the Haight and the belligerents in Oakland with all manner of goods at reasonable price, sometimes discounting heavily on simple chimerical items if the purchaser has a need that exeeds their capacity to pay.  He has steadfastedly rejected offers to join the Community Council, saying it would take too much time away from his work.
David Ardry

*"Once upon a time, a young noble David Ardry was discovered by True Thomas, a legendary bard of the fae. Eventually David was crowned the High King of Concordia. To the surprise of many nobles and commoners alike, he proved to be a just and fair king.  King Davied ruled for nearly thirty years in relative peace and prosperity."*

*"Then David fell in love with Faerilyth, a beautiful princess of House Eliuned and the nice of King Melige. They were married amid a cloud of suspicion about the purity of Faerilyth's affection.  That cloud darkened when David went missing while on tour with his new wife through her home, the Kingdom of Willows. Sir Seif, a young eshu knight, suddenly found himself in possession of Caliburn, the sword of the High King.  Serif took it as an omen that he should set out to find David. Seif vanished in turn.  Neither David nor Caliburn has been seen again to this day."*

*"Without David to sustain it, the peace between nobles and commoners shattered into open revolt. There began a vicious mulit-party struggle for the throne of Concordia and a four year war that saw the Undoing of many nobles and commoners alike."*

- the Boggan storyteller, Zackary Pool

* beginning Banality: 5
Pacifica & Beyond

On the surface, the War For Concordia (2000-2004) did not change much about kithain society in the United States.  The **free fiefdom of Bright Paradise** was assimilated into **White Sands**; **Northern Ice** divided itself into two kingdoms both ruled by **House Gwydion**.  From the **Kingdom of Grass** emerged the western **Kingom of Pines** along the border of **Pacifica** where the worst of the fighting took place.  But once Queen Lenore secured David's throne as he intended and the Parliment of Dreams restored, most changelings didn't find life that different from the halycon days of High King David's reign, before his marriage to Faerilyth ni Eiluned.

.....But a new year comes and the Deep Dreaming stirs.

## Kingdom of Willows

* Ruler: Queen Faeylith ni Eiluned

Yvette Mimieux

Yvette Mimieux in 2011

**Yvette Mimieux** is a retired American movie and television actress.

# Early life and career

Yvette Carmen Mimieux was born in Los Angeles, California, United States, to a French father and Mexican mother. Before her film career began, Mimieux was one of four finalists from a beauty contest picked by Elvis Presley (while he was filming Jailhouse Rock, 1957) who were invited to come to the set and compete for a bit role in the movie ("girl in bathing suit"). She and the other girls modelled their suits (and figures); Mimieux was not selected.

Among her earliest screen appearances was a role in the teen movie Where the Boys Are (1960) as well as in George Pal's film version of H. G. Wells' 1895 novel The Time Machine (also 1960) co-starring Rod Taylor, in which she played the character Weena. This was followed by The Light in the Piazza (1962) with Olivia de Havilland and George Hamilton. In 1963, Mimieux appeared in Diamond Head and Toys in the Attic.

Many of the films in which she appeared after 1963 were both critical and commercial failures. However, she appeared in the critically acclaimed movie The Picasso Summer alongside Albert Finney. She appeared in a two-part 1964 episode of Dr. Kildare ("Tyger, Tyger") and later appeared in numerous television series and made-for-television movies, one of which is The Legend of Valentino (1975), wherein she played Rudolph Valentino's second wife, Natacha Rambova. She was a falsely imprisoned woman victimized by a sadistic guard in the film Jackson County Jail (1976).

In 1984, she starred in Obsessive Love, a television movie about a female stalker which she co-wrote and co-produced. Her last film was Lady Boss (1992). In one of her later forays into television, Mimieux played a department store executive, Shane Bradley, on the short-lived drama Berrenger's.

## Personal life

Mimieux retired from acting in 1992. She is an anthropologist, a real estate investor and yoga devotee. She was married to film director Stanley Donen from 1972 until their divorce in 1985. In 1986 Mimieux married Howard F. Ruby, chairman and founder of Oakwood Worldwide. She has no children.

## Death

Yvette passed away due to natural causes on January 17, 2022 in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, USA due to natural causes.

The Willis Clan

**The Willis Clan** is a family band consisting of siblings, Jeremiah Willis, Jennifer McDowell, Jeanette Piatt, Jackson Willis, Jedidiah Willis and Jasmine Willis.

The family originates from Nashville, Tennessee and appeared on the 9th season of *America's Got Talent* with the rest of their large family. The group made it all the way to the quarter finals before being eliminated.

The family became a huge success with viewers in America and was offered their own TV show on TLC called *The Willis Family*. The show ran for two seasons, with a total of 13 episodes. The show was cancelled when the family patriarch Toby Willis was arrested and accused of child rape in 2016.

In early 2018, the six eldest children besides Jessica Fisher surfaced to speak out about the abuse.

On July 25, 2018, the group announced that they would "see our younger siblings on their respective roads to recovery out of the spotlight," while the other siblings besides Jessica would be touring, beginning September 7.

They announced the same day that they would be releasing the single "Speak My Mind" on August 10 as a promotion for their upcoming release of the same name, to be released on September 28, 2018.

Each siblings master several musical instruments:

* Jeremiah plays:
	+ the acoustic, nylon, and electric guitar, cello, uilleann pipes, whistles, mandolin, Irish banjo, and some piano.
* Jennifer plays:
	+ the Irish button accordion, fiddle, piano, mandolin and guitar.
* Jeanette plays:
	+ whistles, piano, and dobro
* Jackson plays:
	+ drums and banjo.
* Jedidiah plays:
	+ bass.
* Jasmine plays:
	+ mainly piano, but also plays guitar, whistle, fiddle and is a budding singer/songwriter as well
The Mists

The Mists serve as a barrier between the Dreaming and the terrestrial world, protecting the former from banality.  As a side effect, the Mists rob the kithain from clear, coherent memories of their fae selves, of Arcadia and their deeds there.  Likewise, they hide the Dreaming and all things related to the Fae from adult human observation.  The banality inherent in ordinary humans blinds them,  An Enchanted human loses their comfortable layers of reality, logic and cynicism and is exposed to the Dreaming through the glamour that has been infused in them.  As soon as they fall asleep, however, the Mists will rush in, stealing away their memories and making them rational disbelievers once more.  Prodigals and mortals with extremely low natural banality (psychotics, small children, etc.,) are more likely to remember details and sleep for shorter periods of time.
Duchess Aliera

## The Mysterious Childling

Only Aliera knows what her human name was before her Crysallis.  She's always kept the secrets of her origins close to her heart.  She's known to be one of the Earthbound, however, a sidhe who underwent the Changeling Way at the time of the Shattering rather than fleeing to Arcadia.  House Scathach has no record of her being among them.  When she appeared as a ten year old childling at Caer Coenig in 2006, the heartsick Duke Aeon still mourning the death of his beloved Calientra, his wife who was one of the last fatalities of the War For Concordia.

Aliera, mischievous and playful but with a compassionate and intuitive nature was able to reach out and draw Duke Aeon out of grief-filled bedlam.  His court was convinced that the young girl saved his life and few begrudged it when Duke Aeon formally adopted Aliera as his daughter and declared her his heir.   The Fior Righ has provided no accounting of any ancestral holdings or titles for Aliera, not even her original house.  She has wholy embraced House Fiona, however, and is looked at by many as the most auspicious successor to Queen Aeron.

## The Duchess Fair

Aliera was only sixteen when Duke Aeon passed through his Last Winter in 2010, the victim of presumed suicide.  Queen Aeron, who had herself assumed the throne at sixteen, recognized the legitimacy of Aliera's claim and traveled to Caer Ceonig to for Duke Aeon's funeral and formally recognized the young Duchess but laid a dear ear on Aliera's impassioned denouncement that Aeon had killed himself and refused to allow for a formal inquiry.  What Aliera might have done surrepticously on her own and what evidence she might have found is not known.  Duchess Calientra had been killed by through a curse laid upon Aeon by a sorceress in House Eiluned during the last days of the War For Concordia.  Aeon never lost his eminity for House Eiluned or any of the Houses supporting Queen Eloise.  Aliera, however, began to write long and emotional letters to a number of nobles outside of House Fiona, including Queen Eloise herself.  Her missives so touched the hearts of many, including Eloise herself that representatives from all of the Seelie Houses were sent to the young Duchess, who acquired the title of "The Duchess Fair" for bother her beauty and her compassion towards sidhe and commoners alike.

## Aliera in 2015

Duchess Aliera is very concerned about Queen Aeron's sudden flight from responsibility.  The two of them were not necessarily close, but Aliera is one of the few nobles in Pacifica who's never been convinced of Queen Mab's innocence in the assassination attempt on Princess Eloise.  Likewise, Aliera's friendly relations with the other Seelie Houses has made Queen Mab openly condemn her.  Aliera has friends in Duchess Aoibhell and Count Harold di Marcos; the three of them are desperately trying to keep Pacifica in a state of prosperity and peace during these trying times.
Sacred Stones

## The Heart Stone

The sacred stone The Children's Quarter glen is a bit bigger than an adult's palm.  Its color often changes when its picked up, almost like a mood ring.  The first person to find the Heart Stone each morning becomes its official Keeper for the rest of the day, having access to its glamour and being able to effect and shape the dreamscape of the Korbet Children's Quarter.   A huge motley of pooka childer calling themselves the Fairy Tails have made Golden Gate Park their permanant home.  They almost always find the Heart Stone before other changelings, making it their daily game-ritual to locate and protect it.

The Heart Stone cannot be removed from The Children's Quarter.  Anyone who attempts to do so will have it vanish from their possession and return to The Keeper.  If the Keeper tries to remove it or treats it in any kind of disrespectful way?  The stone instantly vanishes and will not be found by that Changeling again.  Ever.

## The Otis Stone

Deep within Buena Vista Park where no changeling in living memory has been able to find it is the Otis Stone.  It is the size and shape of an old gravestone.  Supposedly it is not simply the sacred stone that would make a kithain the holder of the glen should they be able to reach it and unlock its secrets, but it has oracular properties: it can predict the exact day of mortal death for any kithain or kinain within Goldengate (or Pacifica, or Concordia, depending on the version of the legend).   It isn't widely known why it is called the Otis Stone, or what kind of chimerical guardians it might currently have.  Every adventuring party who has gone questing for it within living memory has failed- most of the adventures chimerically killed.  A handful were completely Undone.

Count Harold

## The Queen's Seneschal

Originally appointed as the Count of Oakhold under King Sean, Harold di Marcos made himself an intrical part of Aeron's early court  Keeping a promise to his beloved king, Harold publically defended Aeron and protected her interests during the uneasy days following Sean's assassination.  He took on the title and responsibilities of her seneschal, moving into Caer Angeles to always be at Aeron's beck and call.

Count Harold was a wildling knight during the War For Concordia and still respected by many of the veterans for his combination of good judgment and adherence to the Escheat and general chivalric behavior.  It was for this that he was gifted with the County of Oakhold, where King Sean was sure he'd be able to quell the belligerents.  Unfortunately for House Fiona, the Oakland People's Front only swelled in numbers from embittered war refugees.  Harold and his knights were hardpressed to keep the peace- and Count Harold holds himself personally accountable for King Sean's death, despite the dying King assuring him otherwise and eliciting a vow from him to help Aeron in all things he could.

Harold supported Caer Angeles giving shelter to Queen Mab in the beginning of her exile, even taking knights into Burning Sun to help get her to safety.  Conflicts between him and Mab began quickly, however, and they have a frosty relationship at this time.  He and Duchess Aoibhell often have to work together against Mab, Hamal, and Count Anibal and are at the core of Aeron's Court that are truly loyal to her.  They don't always see eye-to-eye on other issues, however.

Beleiged

## The Royalists of Pacifica

The sidhe and most commoners loyal to them refer to this faction as the *royalists*. Free Commoners are more likely to use the term *beleiged*.  In its most simple explanation, royalists are commoners who have sworn an oath of fealty to their local sidhe noble or to the House that noble belongs to.  In Pacifica, the kingdom is divided into duchies, counties, baronies, and fiefdoms of which practically everything (especially in Southern Pacifica) belongs to House Fiona.

The majority- nearly 80%- of royalists in Pacifica are sworn vassals of Queen Aeron, Queen Mab, or other Fiona nobles. Of the other 20%, over half are sworn to House Scathach.  But comon-born members of House Scathach are not necessarily considered royalists by other royalists, who generally question whether the Scathach should be treated as gentry or not.  Queen Aeron's views lean towards treating Scathach as a true and equal House; Queen Mab believes otherwise.

The rest of royalist commoners serve in the households of various sidhe of other houses besides Fiona and Scathach.  House Balor has a large following in Oakhold, and every sidhe House has at least one courtier or ambassador at Caer Angeles accompanied by loyal commoners pledged to their service.
Free Commons

The Free Commons is a 2 square mile region of the Golden Gate duchy that is used by House Fiona as something of a pressure valve.  Here, free commoners are allowed to live in peace, so long as the Escheat is followed.  House Scathach has been granted a freehold of their own here by the duchy and considered responsible for maintaining law and order.  The Commons, contains the entire Ashbury-Haight neighborhood, some outlying streets with two additional freeholds and the eastern tip of Golden Gate Park.

The Free Council serves as semi-democratically elected leadership; seven kithain (generally grumps) meet every Monday evening from 7-10 pm at The Gate to discuss the state of affairs within the Free Commons.  Following parlimentary procedure with a board-elected chairman, the Free Council is the most democratic body within Southern Pacifica.  Belligerants, however, cynically point out that Sir Garland ap Scathach and his cronies control most of seats on the Council and dismiss it as nothing but "lapdogs and lip service" instead of a truly democratic institution.
Jackson Willis

**Social media**

**Jackson Scott "Jack" Willis** is the fifth child of Toby Willis and Brenda Willis.

Jackson is the drummer and banjo player in the band.

He plays guitar and piano as well, along with anything else percussion.

Jack also dances Irish, ballroom, and swing. He is a youth national champion in west coast swing.

In addition to dance and music, Jack also is a tough wrestler. He has won state championships in both Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling.
Nobles

## The Shining Host

The sidhe are the nobility caste by birthright, their rulership over the other Western kiths reinforced by the Dreaming.  Since the end of the Accordance War, commoners have gained some significant civil rights,including opportunities to earn titles.  In this specific chronicle, within the country of Pacifica, are no non-sidhe with a title higher than two barons:  (blank) and (blank).  A handful of non-sidhe knights exist, however, and player characters may have the opportunity to become one of them.  In addition, a sidhe-only chronicle might be played after "The Soapbox" is concluded, using Rainbow City as its setting as well.

## The Houses

By the time the War in Concordia commenced in early 2000, 13 sidhe Houses emerged from Arcadia or elsewhere in the Deep Dreaming to take their place in the Autumn alongside the earthbound House Scathach . House Fiona founded Pacifica under King Sean at the time of the Resurgence and Accordance War, in early 1970s..

During the Resurgence, House Dougal, House Eiluned, House Fiona, House Gwdion, and House Liam were the Seelie houses that rode forth at a host of exiles into Concordia.  House Ailil, House Leanhaun and House Balor emerged from the Unseelie Host at the same time, through the same gates.  Only decades later did the first members of House Aesin, House Beaumayn, House Daireann,  House Varich appear in Concordia (and exclusively east of Pacifica within the Rainbow City chroniicle).

## Kingdoms Within Concordia

Within the Rainbow City chronicle, Concordia as a nation in 2015 is divided into:

* The Kingdom of Apples (New England), ruled by High Queen Eloise ni Dougal
* The Kingdom of Bright Paradise (Carribean Isles), ruled by King Lyron of the Merfolk
* The Kingdom of the Burning Sun (Southwest) ruled by Queen Yolanda ni Eluned
* The Kingdom of the Feathered Serpent (Mexico), ruled by King Jarrett ap Ailil
* The Kingdom of Grass (midwest & Rocky Mt states) , ruled by King Neville ap Gwydion
* The Kingdom of Northern Ice (Canada & Alaska), Queen Shari ni Scathach
* The Kingdom of Pacifica (US West Coast), ruled by Queen Aeron ni Fiona
* The Kingdom of the White Sands (Florida), ruled by King Alonzo ap Leanhaun
* The Kingdom of Willows (Ozarks & Deep South), ruled by King Douglas ap Liam
Cygnus Probe ship

The **Probe Ship** is a small scout vessel assigned to the USS Cygnus.

## Background

The ship was used by the Humanoids, particularly a silver-suited one, to explore the horizon of the black hole and report back to the mother ship.

Like the Cygnus, the Probe Ship is equipped with anti-gravity forces to keep it safe from being pulled into the black hole or being crushed by the force inside.

When the Cygnus was on the verge of destruction, Dan Holland, Charlie Pizer, Kate McCrae, B.O.B. and V.I.N.CENT made a run for the probe ship after the Palomino was destroyed by lasers when Harry Booth tried to fly it himself. After B.O.B. was destroyed, the others took off in the ship in hope to escape only to realize it had been programmed to go right into the black hole. All the Palomino crew could do was pray that Reinhardt's beliefs were right. The Probe Ship emerged from a white hole and into another universe heading towards a planet.

House Scathach

Write the first paragraph of your page here.

## House Scathach: The Stereotype

"Unlike all the other Houses, the Scathach never abandoned the commoners to the Autumn when the Shattering struck. Instead, they chose to stay and fight for the dreams of the age. Over time, they abandoned allegiance to either the Seelie or Unseelie Courts, rejecting all titles of nobility and finding their own unique voice. There's no better ally in the world for the average commoner than one of the Scathach."

## The Scathach of 2015

At the time of the Resurgence, the Scathach fought furiously on the side of the commoners. Their status as Earthbound sidhe made them special targets of the Shining Host. High King David, however, treated the Scathach with great respect and earned it from the majority of House Scathach in return. Queen Eloise, in turn, has publicly commended the Scathach and there are several in her personal guard. Forty-five years have brought a culture shift to Scathach.

Almost all of its existing members are 2nd or 3rd generation reincarnates, and they've re-emerged into kithain society with less rancor to the other sidhe. Some do formally devote themselves to the Seelie or Unseelie courts. Those who take up a court usually swear fealty to the ruling House of their kingdom and will also accept titles and holdings granted to them by their sovereign. In the Kingdom of Apples, where common-born changelings themselves have many opportunities for advancement into the gentry, this retreat into traditional sidhe culture is less criticized than elsewhere.

## Scathach Loyalists

Many changelings who'd never swear oaths of fealty to non-Earthbound sidhe embrace the Scathach as friends, allies, lovers, brothers-in-arms, and even liege lords. Until recently, most Scathach would not accept oaths of fealty at all, preferring Clasped Hands and other oaths focused on love and camaraderie rather than service. Titled Scathach will accept vassals, however, though usually only special circumstances. Most Commoners enleiged to Scathach nobles are whole-heartedly loyal and would rather suffer final death than betray their masters.
Woody Pike

## Leader of the Fairy Tails

Woody spends a great deal of time in the Near Dreaming.  Some of the Haight's grumps say the squirrel childling is technically as old or older than they are, but he's mastered the art of steering clear of banality.  To mortal eyes, he is a skinny, nerdy kid with big ears, buck teeth, freckles, thick glasses who favors overalls and a big men's hat.  Nervous-looking and odd, he is easily under-estimated and Woody likes it that way.

More than anyone else in living memory, Woody has served as the Keeper of the Children's Quarter.  He has special ties with the chimerical creatures and inanimae there, especially the carousal horses, who will come when he whistles and serve as mounts for him and his motley.  Woody's favorite weapons include a sling-shot and a lasso.  Despite an ungainly appearance in terrestrial reality, Woody is acrobatic and nimble and extremely sharp-witted and brave.  He'll usually take the underdog's side in playground disputes, often when its not even in his own best interest.
Countess Evaine

## The Lady of the Sea

Little Liz Sterling's parents were a pair of marine biologists who awoke in her a deep love of the sea before her Chrysalis.  She was able to continue to live at home all the way through high school, keeping up a double life in both the autumn and as the ward and heir of Count Gonzalo ap Liam.  Gonzalo prefered to be independent of Caer Angeles and fostered this same attitude in Elaine.  She is often at odds with House Fiona who mistrust House Liam in general and especially Evaine's dedication to protecting the local selkie and her associations with the Mer.

Countess Evaine is considered even-handed, even kind, towards commoners but she is very strict with expecting those who would live within her county to swear oaths of fealty unto her as well as an additional oath to avoid bringing any harm to the gallain, especially the merfolk and selkie.  She has declared it a high crime to disturb places of glamour belonging to them and/or the nunnehei and decreed all three races to be deserving of the Right of Hospitality and Right of Rescue.
Baron Jacobi

Baron Jacobi Ballard aka Professor Jerry Morton teaches Medieval Studies at Berkely, a position he's held for nearly twenty years.  He is rather stout and plain-looking, especially by the standards of the sidhe. Renowned as a scholar and storyteller, the Baron seems to shed banality better that most grumps.  He participates in the local SCA, brews his own beers and whiskeys, and seems to live life to its fullest.

Jacob has a strong following among the commoners like his leige, Duchess Aoibhell.  He has a number of comon-born knights and treats everyone in his household as one big family.  Not surprisingly, he gets along with the local Scathach.  There are rumors that the Baron is even contemplating taking the Changeling Way and becoming Earthbound.

Caer Coedwig

## Duchal Hold of Golden Gate: Caer Coedwig

Caer Coedwig was among the freeholds that burst into chimerical existence during at the Resurgence.  It was almost immediately discovered and claimed and named by Duke Aethelred ap Fiona, one of King Sean's close friends and generals during the Accordance War.  Aethelred's heir, Aeon, was only a childling at the Resurgence and still a wilder when he succeeded the older Fiona in 1985 and ruled from Caer Coedwig for a respectable 25 years.  Its current holder, Duchess Aliera, had spent six years as Aeon's ward residing within the hold and has only made minor alterations to it and the surrounding homestead.

Caer Coedwig is housed within an impressive mansion at 1154 Chestnut in the Russian Hill neighborhood of San Francisco.  The property is valued at roughly 4.5 million dollars and maintained through a fortune that was collected by Aethelred and passed through Aeon to Aliera.
Commoners

## Playable Commoner Kiths

While there is one human race, there are a myriad of fairie races who become Changelings.  Changelings self-reference themselves as the Kithain.  Each kith is dramatically different than the others in terms of appearance and history.  The kithain are not the only kind of fairie; chimera and a number of other creatures of the Dreaming, such as the adhene and thallain are not considered kithain.  To make matters even more confusing, the eight major Western kiths calls other bonefide kiths, including the Native American kiths, "the Gallain".

The commoner kiths that are available as player characters in Rainbow City are:

* Boggans

* Eshu

* Nockers

* Pooka

* Redcaps

* Satyrs

* Sluagh

* Trolls

Commoner Factions

* The Beleiged
* The Belligerents

Oathbreaker flaw

Oathbreaker (3-7 Point Flaw)

You are known to have broken an important or powerful oath (or even several). Perhaps you are even chimerically branded as forsworn by a former liege- or the Dreaming has cursed you in some obvious way.

* No kithain feels obliged to offer hospitality, justice, or keep their own word to you.
* If branded as forsworn, most kithain will not willingly interact with you; you have the status of pariah.
* Making new oaths require expending one extra permanent dot of willpower or glamour.
Chimerical Reality

## The Dreaming

The World of Darkness divides reality into a number of layers which rest upon one another. Ordinary mortals are only aware of terrestrial reality, which changelings call the **Autumn World**.. Mages and shapeshifters like the Garou have access to the spirit world known as **the Umbra**; ghosts inhabit dark underworlds called **the Dark Umbra**.  But none of this is really understood or even relevent for most Changelings.

The Fae call the Dreaming home. Did human dreams create the Dreaming or did the Dreaming birth human creative potential?  Both perhaps.  Changeling mystics and scholars can endlessly debate this.  What is known, however, is that  every changeling who undergoes the Chrysalis contains a spark of the Dreaming which they bring with them into terrestrial reality, allowing them to see all the ways that The Dreaming exists within, alongside and beyond the Autumn world.

House Fiona

## House Fiona: The Stereotype

"Fiona sidhe love their food, drink, drugs and sex and rock'n'roll. Forget about calling on them for lofty pursuits except cracking heads or high adventures; Fiona only like fighting and frolicking: anything that gives them a rush. Only difference between a seelie and unseelie Fiona is the good of their word. All of them are reckless fools that create their own rules along the way. Still, they are accomodating and hospitable and more fair-minded to commoners than most. They treat their enleiged like family; fiefs under their vassalage are prosperous and happy."  -

## The Fiona of 2015

Everyone agrees that House Fiona lost the War For Concordia.  Queen Mab was banished from the Kingdom of Apples.  Practically every member of the House east of Pacifica either renounced their holdings and titles to join a House loyal to Queen Eloise or fled to Caer Angeles to take up residence there during the early antebellum period.  Its been a decade and little has changed.  Fiona has undisputed claim over Pacifica and practically no holdings elsewhere in Pacifica.  Queen Aeron and Duchess Aliera have made notable advancement towards the cause of peace with Tam-Tara that are now in jeapordy as vengeful Queen-in-Exile Mab takes her place back in the center stage of politics.

## Fiona Loyalists

Through most of Pacifica, the other kiths are equally divided between loyalists and independent commoners. Finvarr has the highest population of loyalists in southern Pacifica; Goldengate has the highest population of free commoners; Oakenhold has the highest population of belligerants.  Outside of Oakenhold and the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, armed conflict between the three commoner factions is uncommon.  Within Oakenhold, it is a stream of constant violance.

Lorraine Wood

## Grumpiest Grump In The Haight

Lorraine Wood has another name on paper, but even her regular human customers call her Lorraine.  She is thirty-nine years biologically, but easily mistaken for older.  As a young childling, she had romped about the Haight, the fosterling of the Bean Bag's previous proprietor, a kindly old satyr named **Enoch Greenbush**.  Then during her wilder years, Enoch had made Lorriane his heir and given her the Soapbox and its treasures for holding in his place when he went off on an adventure into the Far Dreaming from which he did not return.

## Love & Loss

**Barry Sweet** was an unseelie boggan who swept into the Haight during the late 1990s.  He was a graffiti artist and thief who stole Lorraine's heart.  The two of them fell deeply in love, getting married and taking in several young fosterlings during their decade of marital bliss together.  But Barry fell in with the Oakland People's Party and was part of a conspiracy to assassinate Duke Aeon in 2005.  The assassination failed, the conspirators were caught, and Barry was among those executed by House Fiona.  Heart-broken Lorraine was never the same.  She fell to her own unseelie nature, becoming more tactiturn and snarky.
Queen Lenore

## David's Heir

Lenore ap Dougal was the adopted daughter of High King David before his marriage to Faerilyth.  What had led David to adopt a child of a different house is a mystery, even to the Queen herself.  But she had a Chrysallis at the age of 6 and was only biologically 10 years old when she became a ward of his sister Morwen in 1998 when the King disappears.   In 2000, childling is nearly abducted and murdered by a motley of unseelie.  Under questioning, the surviving motley members named a high-ranking member of Queen Mab's court as responsible.  War errupted between House Fiona and House Dougal, with Gwydion taking Dougal's side. The Parliment of Dreams disolved.  For four years, throughout Cascadia, the sidhe and their retainers fought one another with many free commoners caught up or killed along the way. Finally, the eshu called Seif, no longer guardian of Caliburn, returned to New York with proof that King Meilge ap Eiluned, father of Queen Faerilyth was ineed responsible for the Undoing of the High King. With the support of both Morwen and Faeylith behind her,16 year old Lenore is coronated as the new High Queen.

## High Queen of Concordia

One of Lenore's first acts as High Queen was to strip King Melige of his titles and holdings, but she absolved Faerilyth

Director
Unmasked Humanoid

**Gary Nelson** was an American television and film director.

## As a Director

He has directed many well-known television series, including *Gunsmoke*, *The Patty Duke Show*, *Gilligan's Island* and *Happy Days* among dozens of others.

In 1978, Nelson was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Directoral Achievement for *Washington: Behind Closed Doors*.

## Developing and directing The Black Hole

Gary was a Disney director and approached by Ron Miller, then CEO of the Walt Disney Company to direct Disney's first PG-rated film. At first, Gary rejected the idea until Miller was insistent and got Gary to meet Peter Ellenshaw, a production designer and head of the matte department. After seeing Ellenshaw's paintings, Gary join in. He initially worked on the script, titling the movie, *Space Probe One*. The story was about a spacecraft captured in space located near a black hole. Inside the ship were typical Disney families and they had to be rescued before being sucked into the black hole. That idea was cancelled and final screenplay was written by Gerry Day and Jeb Rosebrook with the title confirmed as The Black Hole. Gary particularly chose Maximilian Schell as Hans Reinhardt despite warnings how the actor would behave on set. It was Gary who initially though of actress Sigourney Weaver as Kate McCrae but the Casting Director rejected her due to the weird name. Gary insisted the second choice, Jennifer O'Neill cut her her long hair due to the zero-gravity scenes but after O'Neill got into a car accident, Yvette Mimieux was cast, agreeing also with a haircut.

The set was heavily guarded as Gary didn't want anyone to know what was going to be shown and was still unsure what the movie would turn out to be. Filming to place across 26 weeks, starting 7:am to night. Joseph Bottoms who played Charlie Pizer found Gary very easy going, in return. Gary found Bottoms a fun to work with and a "bright spot" every day. Gary also liked Anthony Perkins, the *Pyscho* actor whom he worked with as an assistant director in *The Lonely Man*. Perkin's character death according to Gary was improvised as was Schell's line, "Protect me from Maximilian." Gary came up with the idea having a rolling fireball nearly killing the survivors and in his view it turned out well.

Gary portrayed the humanoid unmasked by Dr. Alex Durant, although uncredited.

Baron Neville

Neville rode forth from Arcadia among the Fiona host during the Resurgence as a young and hot-tempered wilder. 45 years later, he has grown too old and vulnerable to banality to spend more than a few hours at a time in the Autumn.  It galls him to have never been awarded a greater title or holdings than the barony of     by either Sean or Aeron.  Mab has openly promised him more and he now cleaves to her side even though he is technically a vassal of Countess Evaine.

Baron Neville is among the Fiona most hostile to the Free Commoners.  He considers the current generation ungrateful and spoiled by the allowances provided first by Queen Aeron and first Duke Aeon and now Duchess Aoibhell and Duchess Aliera.  Beyond Queen Mab, he is a grudging ally of Baron Anibal though his distain for the Unseelie enmasse is quite high.  Nonetheless, he approves of the draconian measures that the Balor have brought down upon the Belligerants in recent times and has taken up a similar approach within his own holdings.  Thankfully, he does not visit the Haight Commons.

Dreaming Beyond

## The Far Dreaming

The Far Dreaming ends where the Near Dreaming leaves off, but not always with an obvious boundary.  Here the Silver Path becomes harder to follow, sometimes appearing to fade out or skip about erratically.  The realm has a chaotic, unpredictable nature filled with nightmarish monsters, hidden Arcadian treasures, and a handful of very powerful Fae who rule their personal domains with a kind of sovereignity that even changeling sidhe cannot possess.  If the Near Dreaming is a place of fairy tales, the Far Dreaming is the stuff of myths and legends.  It also contains the only known gateways to the Deep Dreaming.  Such gateways were sealed during the Interregum, but have since the Resurgence (a*nd especially since events in the late 1990s*) begun to open.

## The Deep Dreaming

Completely insulated from banality and perhaps not originating from human creativity but some older, more ancient primordial dreamer or dreamers, the Deep Dreaming is a vast unknown to all but the most erudite kithain scholars. The Deep Dreaming forms archetypal, primal patterns that do not reflect the Autumn World or follow any physical or natural laws.  In the oldest human stories and belief systems, there exist realms of heavenly bliss and hellish torment. They are here; everything from humanity's most ancient and sacred oral traditions and mythologies lays within the Deep Dreaming. The True Fae, also called the Firstborn,  live as gods and monsters throughout.
Dan Holland

Captain **Dan Holland** is the captain of the USS Palomino.

## Background

Serving as captain of the Palomino he takes his position with serious responsibility and concern for the crew's safety. He shows discipline by ordering Charlie Pizer around but is occasionally lectured and corrected by V.I.N.CENT.

## In the movie

When they came aboard the USS Cygnus and met Hans Reinhardt, he already felt uneasy towards the lone scientist but took his word for what happened to his crew at the time. While he, Charlie and V.I.N.CENT went to get parts to repair the ship, he decided to snoop around. He discovered a lot of empty cabins where the crew would normally sleep and witnessed the Humanoids preform a human like funeral which made him feel more suspicious.

The crew's suspicions were soon confirmed when B.O.B. told them what actually happened to the crew. He was going to see if they could try and save the crew from Reinhardt's control until B.O.B. told him it was too late for them, so instead he ordered his crew to return to the Palomino.

When they heard Dr. Durant was killed and Kate McCrae was being taken to the hospital, Dan went out to rescue her accompanied by V.I.N.CENT and B.O.B. The three engaged the Sentry Robots and even without a weapon he managed to take on one by hand and saved Kate before being turned into a robot.

When Harry Booth tried to escape with the Palomino and got blown up in the process, Dan and his remaning crew made a run for the Probe Ship and after destroying more Sentry Robots and evading Maximilian with V.I.N.CENT engaging that robot, Dan managed to escape the to the Cygnus Probe ship only to find out the ship was programmed to journey into the black hole.
