Pledge of the Scion of Seasons
From Changeling Venue
A Scion of Seasons enters into a Pledge each season with the new Court as her pledge with her old court is fulfilled and her boons gained. As such, a pledge must be confirmed to gain the abilities that would be hers and with it comes responsibility.

Details
The Pledge of the Scion is a pledge that binds the fates of the Scion and the Court with whom Transition is occuring. Would the Autumn Season be ending and the Winter Season be beginning, the Scion would enter into this pledge with the Winter Court and the Scion and Autumn court, having entered into the pledge before, benifit from the terms of their pledge made the beginning of the Autumn Season.
Breaking this pledge is a dangerous thing as well because upon breaking this pledge, the Scion suffers a rash of bad luck until the end of the Upcoming Season (identified by the Solistice of the Season's end). The Court, however, finds that Glamour does not flow and their harvest of Glamour during that season is weak; thus all their work was for not.
