History WMG / ChangelingTheLost

I mean, seriously, he fits basically every characterization we saw in True Fae: EldritchAbomination with BlueAndOrangeMorality? Check. Unstable and volatile? Check. Loves to torment mortals for fun? Check. Banes (the Unicorn hair)? Check. Works through deals? Check. The only thing missing basically is the weakness to ColdIron, and nothing exists to contradict the possibility he might be affected by it.

* I'd agree. Consider: TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming ''never'' suggests Winter can be avoided. It's inevitable. The horror comes entirely from the total inability to avoid the obliteration of all you hold dear. By contrast, ChangelingTheLost opens with the greatest triumph you will ever have or need. From here it's on you. You may fail. But you have every chance to carve out a life. To survive. And to create something better.

* Allan from [[Film.{{Jumanji}} Jumanji]]. The world of Jumanji is clearly a part of Arcadia, the various things coming out of it are probably all Hedge Beasts. Allan was probably on the way to becoming a Wizened Woodwalker. Whether Allan (and the other players) escaped a Durance or not is up for debate.

* Sarah from [[Film.{{Labyrinth}} Labyrinth]], as well as baby Toby, managed to escape Arcadia. Sarah probably would have ended up as a Fairest, and Toby as one of Jareth's Goblins.

* As of ''Imperial Mysteries'', the answer is...probably not, if you say the Old Gods of the Thistle and True Fae are one and the same. As it is, it's more likely a form of Dhatu (divine domain).

[[WMG:'''It's Actually More Hopeful of a Game Then Dreaming''']]

* Problem: While the Vardøgers aren't perfect copies, it's not because they're capricious-rather, their very presence "overwrites" Fate in some way, leading to some...very strange anomalies (such as the person they're a copy of still existing, only amnesaic). Worse, however it that they're...really nice. If you confront them with evidence that their existance is the result of magic, they'll leave without fuss and put everything back the way it was. No "Caprice of the Fae" here.

When you think about it, there's actually a lot of ways for a Lost to avoid "inevtitible doom", and retain acess to his power-don't increase Wyrd past five dots, fulfill your pledges and avoid sucky ones, interact with humans. With those rules in mind, one can easily keep the Clarity up and avoid attracting True Fae attention, whilst retaining a longish lifespan and Contracts.

Awakening souls go through the "vascular tissue" of the Thorns, which somehow insulates them from the more severe effects of the Arcadian locale.

Of course, this isn't an interesting story, and many STs [[KillerGameMaster take offense at the idea of the characters having a Happy Ever After]]...

Think about it, how can you truly be sure which is The Mask and which is The Mien? Occam's razor doesn't apply to dream logic ... [[OrIsIt or does it]]?
