The Shining Host
In a modern world where magic remains hidden beneath mortal appearances, the Fair Folk still walk among humanity. Players portray changelings—people with faerie souls—who discover enchanted courts, living dreams, chimera, cantrips, and other supernatural beings. Designed for live-action play, the game provides rules and setting material for creating characters, portraying faerie kiths and nobles, and exploring the tensions between Glamour, mortal disbelief, and the creatures of the Dreaming.
