Charlotte Stitchwright- Kidnapped Baby

Disappeared: 8 years ago Location: Thither Tie in: Rumors of changeling travelling caravan in Hither, Mother Janice in Yon

When she was 17, she was put out to make money from the nearby town as a babysitter. She seemed good enough and the orphanage needed the money. So she took care of a young boy and a even younger daughter. The boy was a handful, she could barely keep up with all his requests. But she did her best to keep the boy clean. This was her mistake, as she was in the wrong room when the something came for the other child.

She barely caught a glimpse as it went through the window, seeing just the edge of the thing as it fled. She tried to chase it down but she never caught up with it in the forest. The family was distraught and did everything they could to find their child but to no avail. They sent her back to the orphanage with anger and hate and the orphanage could only agree with the family. Zix lost everything that day, but it was ok cause she… it was all ok. The family continued to curse her and made it their mission to drive her out.

Carson Stitchwright made a deal with Endylin out of desperation; his father had been a well-known highway bandit and theif, and the infamy made his life neigh on impossible. Sure that the reputation would follow him and the rest of his family everywhere, he made a deal; For his father's legacy to be forgotten in exchange for the next female of his line. Carson took the deal, having no intent of settling down and having children, and so assuming the deal would never come due. It didn't, for him. Unfortunately, with the identity of their Father suddenly and entirely forgotten by all, his younger brother Martin was soon able to marry his young love Janice and start a family. Their second child was a daughter, and on the night of the daughter's year and a day, she was stolen away to complete the pact.

Will in the service of Skabatha and her interest in children, stole the infant from Endy for his mistress. However, on the way back he had a change of heart strong enough to break him from his servitude to Skabatha.

Mad with grief, the mother Janice went to fortune teller after fortune teller asking how to get her baby back from the fey, to no avail, until one of the fortune tellers she went to was Endy. Endy offered her: "the information you seek shall be yours, if you will lend me your voice and sing upon my stage one night."

Thinking what was one night singing in exchange for knowledge of her baby, Janice agreed immediately. Endy took her to Yon, where Janice discovered what her bargain really meant: She sang for Endy upon her dreary stage and found afterward she no longer had one; she had her voice only when she was singing upon the stage. Endy gave her the information she sought; her baby was located in the splinter domain Thither under the care of a moving tree and pack of children. What she didn't offer was a way to leave Yon, effectively trapping Janice in her service.
