Creative Sterility: At least when it comes to children whatever transformation the Fae make Changelings go through leave them virtually unable to have children (only about one in a hundred possess any degree of fertility at all).Part of the problem is that many changeling hallucinations are actually prophetic visions, and so a high-Clarity changeling still sees the world in a different way-it's just that her view of the world is actually more accurate than that of everyone else's. Crazy Sane: In 2e, Clarity is a measure of this versus actual delusional beliefs and refusal to acknowledge the reality of the world.In an interesting twist, the Changelings are the people abducted rather than the replicates left behind, and being abducted as a baby or child, while it does occur, is fairly rare the Gentry usually prefers taking full-grown or at least teenagers, since those are more likely to survive the experience in Arcadia. Changeling Tale: Obviously the basis behind the Fae abducting them and replacing them with Fetch.Bargain with Heaven: The Changelings' powers, fittingly known as "Contracts", aren't actually innate abilities, but literal contracts they made with incarnations of various elements in the world for example, a Changeling who seems fireproof actually made a contract with fire itself to be protected against it, and the various Seasonal Courts contracts were created by the Courts' respective founders making contracts with the seasons.Some actually manage to talk about their pasts in groups by interpreting the Fae as aliens. Alien Abduction: Every Changeling has a supernatural variant of this as her backstory.
