Emerald City Freehold

Freehold

In the Emerald City, changelings represent the dominant supernatural faction, having an unusually high population. Their nearest competitors for dominance consist of the vampires, who for one reason or another seem to have an unusually low population for a city of its size. 

The Emerald City regards itself as a commonwealth, rather than a kingdom or principality. Since the downfall of the crown in 1992, the sovereign power of the freehold cannot derive from a monarchy. The denizens of the freehold regard themselves as freefolk rather than subjects. 

As freefolk, the emphasis of the commonwealth is to emphasise the common good of the freehold. While the oaths of the freehold do not offer the same foolproof protection against loyalists or those with conflicting loyalties, it does bring its members together under the same purpose.

To join the freehold, changelings must swear the commonwealth pledge:

"I, being an inhabitant and freefolk in this commonwealth, do freely acknowledge myself to be subject to the sovereignty thereof.

Therefore, I hereby swear by my True Name, that I will be true and faithful to the same, and will accordingly offer assistance and support to the freehold. I will endeavour to preserve and maintain the liberties and privileges of the same, submitting myself to the laws and orders established by the same."

The Torc

The Emerald City is ruled by The Torc, which is the embodiment of the crown. While there is neither king nor queen, there is a Viceroy. 

The reigning Autumn Viceroy is The Bone Man (Xander)

The previous Summer Viceroy was Nadine (Francine)

The previous Spring Viceroy was Azelynne (Keith)

The previous Winter Viceroy was Lucas Hond (Cameron)

The Knights

The four knights represent the military arm of the freehold. They swear direct fealty to the office of the Viceroy (upon the Torc), and provide a line of defence against the enemies of the Commonwealth. 

The Verdant Knight is Ethan Blackjoy (Sparky)

The Crimson Knight is Feather (Lachlan)

The Ashen Knight is unfilled

The Onyx Knight is unfilled
