I liked this, True Fae didn't make a seeming or assign a Seeming anymore, the Seeming was how the Changeling escaped (and how it now marks the changeling). In a way it was like making a pact with an "effort" on the escape. If I'm understanding correctly, David's Seemings were basically how you forged your Wyrd or what's left of your soul to escape Arcadia. She's an expert disaster relief specialist, now.I'm still a little unsure I understand the new Seemings. An example is a living thunderstorm Elemental who traps her Keeper in a deluge and blows away the walls of his domain. Still, something that was mentioned on the other thread is that Seeming is still agency-it just wasn't supposed to be, when assigned by your Keeper. Still, hoping Clarity is the same sliding, XP-less scale it was before. Any attempt to jar the victim out of it, short of an opposing power or physically attacking or removing them, will fail. XX) and is rooted to the spot for as long as she continues to sing. Anyone who fails gains the Swooned Condition (p.
Siren Song:Spend a point of Glamour and roll Presence + Expression + Wyrd as an instant action to perform, contested by anyone who hears the Nightsinger’s unearthly song with Composure + Supernatural Tolerance. Kith Blessing: When the Nightsinger uses Expression to sing or compose a piece of music, three successes count as an exceptional success. He rarely opens his mouth to do anything else. But when he opens his mouth to sing, the rafters quake with his baritone and there is not a dry eye in the room by the end of it.
His wiry black hair sticks out in all the wrong places. Wizened: He's not much to look at – skeletons have more meat on their bones. Some call her frigid, some call her prudish, but they're always back for more. She has no dearth of admirers, but she always goes home alone. Their ability to completely enthrall others with their song is quietly feared by other Lost.įairest:This almond-eyed torch singer will have you opening both your heart and your wallet to her in under an hour. This, however, does not mean that they're powerless – far from it. They can no longer achieve the myriad of world-bending effects in the solid, consistent mortal world that they could in a realm built entirely of dreams and magic. Stranger things have happened in Arcadia.Nightsingers find that, once they've escaped, their songs hold less power on Earth than they did in Arcadia. Some become their song and float straight out the door, carried by the notes they're singing. Most Nightsingers escape while their Keepers are in the throes of exquisite agony from a song sad enough to make a stone weep, or doubled over in laughter from a bawdy take on a solemn hymn. This is a dangerous position to take as a True Fae. The True Fae have odd and exacting ideas about what makes a good song, so a changeling who produces a less-than-satisfactory piece runs the risk of severe retribution. While it might seem odd for a sculptor or an oil painter to become a Nightsinger, it's really just a matter of learning to sculpt or paint with words and pledges the same way one might sculpt bronze or paint on a canvas. It's not just singers or writers who become this Kith either. Nightsingers were almost uniformly some sort of creative before they were stolen away to Faerie. Nightsingers are the Kith who actually produce the magical songs the creatures in fairy tales teach heroes or children. While they can replicate melodic noises and sing songs taught to them by their human slaves, the Gentry are creatively sterile and cannot create songs of their own. Song is an art almost as old as humanity itself, and something the True Fae are utterly fascinated by. Please don’t make the mistake of throwing your platinum card in – that is, unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences."
