Covey-Fychell College Escheat

This is strictly for Seelie/Unseelie characters. If you are Shadow Court (even hidden) your risk at the College will be escalated to a 2. This by no means is a statement that you will be found out or outed. However if you are this College is not a safe place for you.


The Right of Demesne:

A lord is the king of his domain. He is the judge and jury over all crimes, large and small. His word is law. A noble expects obedience from his vassals and respect from all others. In return, a noble respects those lords superior to him.


At the College:

The Headmistress and faculty of the College expect that this be observed only in the loosest of terms. Anyone having given the College Oath is expected to uphold the values of the County of Lion's Reach (and its Baronies and Mews) and at least observe this Right in front of visiting nobles, guest lecturers, or at Festival Feasts.


The Right to Dream:

Mortals have a right to dream unhindered by our needs. The Dreaming will die if we steal directly from the font. No one is allowed to use Glamour to manipulate the creative process. Although you may inspire creativity in the mortal mind, it is forbidden to give direct instruction or to infuse a human with raw Glamour.


At the College:

The Headmistress and faculty will not allow Ravaging on campus or within the Villa. Period. There is no exception. If one is in an emergency situation they may ask for access to the balefire or Dross. Otherwise Kithain are expected to follow their own moral code. Violators of this Right should expect swift and harsh punishment.


The Right of Ignorance:

Do not betray the Dreaming to Banality. Never reveal yourself to humanity. Not only will humankind hunt us down for our wisdom and our power, it will overwhelm us with Banality and destroy our places of power. The more humanity knows, the more ardently it will seek us, draining the world of Glamour and petrifying our essence with its basilisk's gaze.


At the College:

The Headmistress and faculty require adherence to protocol. The Autumn people and Winter spies are too prolific these days for this to be ignored. Kithain, Kinain, Chimera, Nunnehi, Inanimae and Denizens only. If you're found to have Enchanted a mortal or Prodigal without express permission of the College, you will find your welcome quickly revoked. Do not bring them here, or to the Villa.

The Right of Rescue:

All Kithain have the right to expect rescue from the foul grip of Banality. We are in danger together and must strive together to survive. Never leave anyone behind. Kithain are required to rescue other faeries or any creature of the Dreaming trapped by those who serve Banality.


At the College:

The Headmistress and the faculty encourage the Kithain and Kinain enrolled at the College to work together, to forget the lines of Legacy and Kith and aid one another in this terrifying time when Dauntain and Prodigals are lurking always and the Dreaming endangered. The Dream is strengthened when we are united in common cause.


The Right of Safe Haven:

All places of the Dreaming are sacred. Kithain cannot allow faerie places to be endangered. All those who seek refuge in such places must be admitted. Freeholds must be kept free of both Banality and worldly violence.


At the College:

The Headmistress and faculty expect that this be observed. They will observe Hospitality and give succor for those Seelie/Unseelie who need it. There are no such provisions made for Prodigals or Dauntain or Shadow Courtesans. Should any student be found to have disobeyed the tenets of this Right, they will face expulsion, Geas, or being considered forsworn of the College Oath.


The Right of Life:

No Kithain shall spill the lifeblood of another Kithain. No Kithain shall bring salt tears unto the earth. No Kithain shall take from the Dreaming one of its own. Death is anathema.


At the College:

The Headmistress and faculty expect that this be observed. Period. The End. Only the servitors of the Fomorians, the anathema Dauntain, dread Nervosa and Nocnitsa, and those Prodigals who pose a direct threat to the College and its students are exception.
