I\\\'d contest the \\\"Evil\\\" alignment--the books go to a lot of trouble to hammer home the point that the True Fae [[BlueAndOrangeMorality don\\\'t operate on human morality.]] \\\"Good\\\" and \\\"Evil\\\" are thus concepts that simply don\\\'t apply to them. Likewise the bit about hating it when ChangelingTheDreaming is brought up--their mindsets are so thoroughly alien that it\\\'s impossible to say what they really think of the matter. Maybe they couldn\\\'t care less. Maybe they \\\'\\\'like\\\'\\\' the books and those who read them--except, being TheFairFolk, this sentiment is twisted beyond all recognition until it bleeds. Maybe they deliberately put the books out themselves, as part of some inscrutable long-term plan. More than likely, it\\\'s all of the above and more, depending on the individual Fae, but there\\\'s never any way to know for sure.

As for Domains, I\\\'d suggest adding Chaos and Madness to the list. I\\\'d also suggest removing Corruption, as that has a moral dimension that, as mentioned, doesn\\\'t really apply to TheFairFolk. Tyranny and Domination are a bit iffy as well; the themes of the True Fae aren\\\'t so much about kidnapping and controlling mortals-turned Changelings (that\\\'s just a small facet of their existence, albeit the one that the player characters are most concerned with) but with enacting their every whim and the sheer \\\'\\\'otherness\\\'\\\' of their priorities and values.
