Changeling/Theme/Neighboring Freeholds/History's Cradle
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
History: History’s Cradle was founded in 1814, after the Battle of Baltimore. Rumor has it a previous Freehold died - or was destroyed - during the Revolutionary War, and the Lost soldiers and revolutionaries who fought in the Battle of Baltimore decided to build a new home, focused on revolutionary ideals. The members of History’s Cradle take pride in their freehold's involvement in in many important moments in American history. However, ideals of revolution slowly turned to ones of power and competition over the past century as the Freehold’s population expanded. Baltimore has a lot of influence over mortal society and thus History's Cradle often draws ambitious Lost, those seeking to make something of themselves. With so many fighting to get ahead, it creates a very cut-throat atmosphere.
Crowns:
- Spring: Eddie Crude (he/his, Elemental Chatelaine) - Eddie is sleazy. He can be charming and charismatic, but it’s always in an oily way. He claims he can’t help it, being what he is, and doesn’t seem to have any shame about it. He’s embedded in Baltimore’s nightlife, with fingers in arts and entertainment. You’ll usually meet him at a party, surrounded by all manner of indulgences. He also has ties to the city’s criminal spheres. If you need something, Eddie can get his greasy hands on it for you.
- Summer: Sulochana Nagin (she/her, Fairest Gristlegrinder) - Sulochana is every bit as terrifying in a boardroom as she is in a battlefield. She delights in tearing rich white men apart, and she does so often during her day job as a corporate takeover specialist. She finds people’s weaknesses, guts them, and makes them better—while profiting from their failures. She’s also quite fond of gutting people more literally, with her sword.
- Autumn: Chadwick Hirschorns (he/his, Fairest Draconic) - Chadwick is old money. He’s very proud of his good breeding, and never lets anyone forget it—and isn’t afraid to use his family’s name and power to get what he wants. He’s, honestly, an asshole. Most people don’t like him, and those who do (or pretend to) are just trying to claw their way up the social ladder. He’s carefully cultivated a lot of power among Baltimore’s rich elite and government, pulling strings and bribing officials left and right.
- Winter: Jane Doe (she/her, Darkling Snowskin) - Jane is an unknown, but rumors of her power-hungry nature abound. She comes off bitter and cold and has little patience for incompetence. She has a large web of fake IDs that no one has been able to fully uncover, and rumors claim she has extensive ties among local hobs and other supernatural communities. She has extremely high Wyrd.
