There's little hope in the dusty winter. The Fae still huddle for warmth & hope around the few fading balefires that remain. Now those balefires are starting to go out & something must be done.
Description:
This adventure follows a motley group of Kithain and Nunnehi riding the cold
iron rails across the American heartland during the depths of the dust bowl. There are no trods,
and many Changelings believe the Dreaming is nothing more than a myth. So the Fae travel the
only way they can, by car and rail, often desperately seeking that last bit of Dross that might
keep them awake to what they truly are in the face of the long Dusty Winter. There are rumors
that balefires have started to gutter and fade, and some believe the final fall of Faerie has started.
Others think it’s far less nefarious than the end times and are convinced they can stop what is
happening. You have heard stories about where the next failing freehold may be, and have
decided to do something about it.
Point Avalon is a shore town that slumbers most of the year, with a small, closely-knit population that keeps the town from being completely deserted from fall on through to spring.
Description:
This year, the lord of Cresthaven Manor (Point Avalon’s neighbors to the north) sent word ahead that they will have one more in their number, a recently-awakened sidhe. As his position and House are as of yet undetermined, they intend to bring him along to get a taste of courtly politics on a larger scale, and to meet those he is likely to work with once his status and role are determined. A smaller court that borders Point Avalon to the south, Deepwood Glen, is also scheduled to attend the meeting, though communication with them is usually intermittent and they have not recently confirmed their attendance. All seems set for the meeting until the sidhe, while on a tour with the rest of his court's nobles, vanishes without a trace. The local court is asked to help find the missing boy, offering handsome rewards if he is returned safely.
