The Proud Ikelos, the Master of Sleep
Winter courtier, proud Oneiromancer and destroyer of Dreams. Without Dreams, without hope, we shall be safe from the Fae.
- 1974: Apparition of Ikelos. In the British Goblin markets, a new dream, a dream filled with angst and sorrow was made available. A Dream of supreme quality. Ophellion at that point lost all his contacts in the goblin markets. Ikelos went to challenge Ophellion in Oneiromachy to see who was the better changeling. Ophellion lost horribly and was scarred mentally after that single combat.
- 1975: Ophellion, weak from the 1971 defeat, challenged Ikelos to a revenge match, to see who was the supreme Oneiromachy master. Again, the Stronger Ikelos won out and Ophellion returned to his home a broken man.
- 1976: By this point, this annual event became well known and betting pools, festivities and commemorative dreamvessels were offered to interested Changelings in all goblin|winter markets in England. Ophellion was feeling the heat, not liking being on the forefront battling this Ikelos. Odds were drastically against Ophellion. During the Oneiromachy, Ikelos was suddenly felled down, victim of a goblin spell. Ophellion stopped the duel, not willing to take advantage of this.
- 1976: Ikelos goes Fetch hunting and kills many of them in isolated places. His method of execution are swift and horrible. Ikelos starts collecting the eyes for his oneiromancy challenge.
- 1977: Security measures in place by the goblin market of Essex, permitted the 4th Annual Oneiromachy challenge. It was to be the final confrontation. Ikelos seemed to enjoy battling Ophellion and showing to others his grand powers. Ophellion kept returning to the fray, year after year. Defeat after defeat. During the Challenge, Ophellion kept refusing to bow down, to submit. The Challenge was epic and grandiose. Ophellion surviving the dream-attacks of Ikelos, barely holding on for hours, before saying a single phrase...
Ikelos then felled down unconscious and when he finally woke up, tears felled down his cheeks and he left England, never to return.
- 1978: Ophellion, secure in his throne and his capacities, continued his rule without further challenges.

The Return of Ikelos
- 2005: Time has passed and Ikelos achieved another escape from his new servitude in the hands of Hypnos. His suffering in Arcadia has helped soothe his wounds and he strongly desires to renew with his former wife.
- 2005: His former wife, Isabelle Paquette, dies of a broken heart. Ikelos escaped his keeper only to manage to see the funeral. Two adult daughters living in Montreal remain.
- 2005: Ikelos vows to give hope to All, to fight the fae incursions and eliminate the changeling traitors who work for the keepers. The bringer of hope is what he now desire to be. Working to correct his sins IS the solution, he shall no longer fear!
[edit]
Salvation of a broken life

Organizations
- Nemesis is a Changeling intelligence agency dedicated to keeping the Lost safe from the Fae by rooting out Loyalists and Privateers, and by detecting Fae manipulations early enough to counteract them. Most members hail from the Winter or Autumn Courts due to the type of activity involved in Nemesis's work. However, many members prefer not to be publically known to help them excel at their job;
- Wardens_of_the_Thorns: Defender, Protector, Scout, Tracker. Former Hunters now aiding those who wish freedom from the Hedge. Communities must be protected.
- The_Innkeepers are a loose network of shelters, clinics, homes, and safe-houses for Changelings who need help. Individual houses will vary greatly from formal institutions to simple bolt-holes, but they all have the desire to aid Changelings in common.
