Seasonal Courts

Society

Each season — Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter — offered early changelings different ways to avoid their Keepers’ notice, and these tactics became integral to those changelings’ way of life. In seasonal court freeholds, each quarter year is ruled over by a monarch of the appropriate seasonal court.

One of the ways the seasonal courts help protect Lost from the True Fae is to rotate power and leadership. As the seasons change in the natural world, the court aligned with the season also hands off power to the next, ensuring no one group gains too much power over the others in the freehold. This idea — voluntarily giving over power to your peers — is so anathema and alien to the True Fae, who have been masters of their own domains for millennia, that the very act of following it provides a practical “disguise” from their eyes for a freehold’s relatively large population. Failing to trade the throne when the time comes is the sort of power play a True Fae would understand on an innate basis, and thus is more likely to draw their attention. The threat of this is enough to keep all but the most fanatical of tyrants willing to hand off power, at least nominally, although it is not unheard of for corrupt Lost to attempt to find ways around this prohibition — often to the detriment of themselves and their fellow freehold members.
