Changeling

Requirements

"A child of fae living among men by way of a swap." This means either

• a fae, usually close in age to the original, who was swapped in place of a human, often a child;

or more rarely

• a fae born to a human mother and a fae father, being considered "swapped" with the human child she would have had if the father was human.

Appointment

It is unclear how a changeling is selected. It is dependent on who is making the switch. Sometimes the Fae wanted the human for a reason, or they fell in love. Some wish to give their child or elderly a softer life or wished to claim a human by having them bear his offspring. As many changelings there are, there are reasons.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

Often, but not always, if the Fae child is treated poorly, the Fae will come to collect the child and in cases of exchange will return the human original.

Alternative Naming

auf, oaf, change child, swapling*, mirror child* (*Can refer to the human or the fae)

Equates to

The child of men for which they were swapped.
