The Great Black Swamp

From Changeling Venue

Jump to: navigation, search
This is the Swamp. You have come here Lost, despairing, afraid, yet in the very fiber of your being is a will that shall not submit. You are a fighter, a warrior, a spirit of greatness. You cannot allow the blackness to consume you. You arrived at the Great Black Swamp Lost, do not get lost within it. – Chief Black Ibis of the Miami Tribe

The Antler Crown, The Emerald Court,
The Best Excuse to Get Laid Court, The Spring Court

King Atheal - no comment
Johnny - I ain't a fucking lady. She did that to me, made me look like a fucking girl. I was Jonathan; a football playing, cheerleader fucking, all-American superstar dude. I had it all too...
Sparrow - Duct tape, a paper clip, some chewing gum....What you've never seen MacGyver before?


The Iron Spear, The Crimson Court,
The Shut the Fuck Up Court, The Summer Court

King Dub Thgil Reeb - I'm dumb but I ain't stupid.
Cyanne Thayer - My life was ruined because of the Fae. In time, I met other lost including those who feel like I do. I help them by fighting the Fae, the Loyalists, and whatever else the Hedge spews out.
Cyrus - Yes, I am the Summer Court genious. No, I don't know what that means exactly.
Guardian of the Black - Snarl, gulp, snap, tear, gulp. Now that we dealt with him let's eat. Snarl, gulp, snap, tear, gulp.
Kit - no comment
Roocs Reeb - Look, I don't even know who you are but Dub says we need to break you and that's good enough for me.

The Knife You in Your Sleep Court, The Autumn Court

King Rellim Llihc Reeb - no comment
James Maybrick - Hello dear! My you look quite lovely today. Care for a stroll? What spot? Oh that, just a bit of ketchup from a hamburger earlier, you know how messy those can be sometimes. Have you ever tried a meat pie?
Stbap Reeb - no comment


The Silent Arrow, The Onyx Court,
The Death Comes to All Things Court, The Winter Court

King Joey Twobooks - no comment
Candy - I have stumbled blindly through the night, landed upon some unfortunate Samaritan. He has cradled me in his arms. Shielding me from all that haunts. He has loved and given love unto me. For that, I repay him in misery.
Xander - What do I have to do never - NEVER - have to fight at Fight Club ever again?


The Empty Heart, The Colorless Court,
The Best Side to Be on is Mine Court, The Courtless

Magistrate of Change - So, young woman, the way forward is often the way back. Quite often, young lady, it seems like we aren't getting anywhere when, in fact, we are.
Sean Briggs - Got a deal to cut? Got something to unload fast? Or are you looking for that thing to make your problems go way? Whatever you want - I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

Recognized Motleys, Loose Associations, Gangs, and Stereotypes

  • Briggs and Reeb - There is an alternative to dealing with those filthy goblin markets. No silly sales pitches. No god awful tricks. No hoops to jump through. No negotiations.
  • The Furies - Each member of The Furies is sworn to punish criminals in the Changeling world. Furies are all female members of the who vow to avenge those who have not escaped Arcadia, as well as those who had died trying.
  • The Reeb Brothers - Several of the Reeb "brothers" can be found within the Great Black Swamp. How they are related, who knows?
  • The Sisters Nine - Part of the Motley of unique Muses all taken by the same Keeper, Candy is the embodiment of the Muse of Tragedy, Melpomene.
  • The White Warriors - The White Warriors banished Itch from the territory and settled in to make a more peaceful and prosperous home. They returned to the name of the “Freehold of the Great Black Swamp”, and their traditions and history have been passed down orally to the Changelings of modern night.

Not Exactly Mushroom Rings in the Woods

Broken Glass Almshouse - One of the most well known shelters in northwestern Ohio in both mortal and... not so mortal circles.

Dub's Fight Club - The first rule of fight club is that we aren't allowed to talk about fight club. The second rule is that we aren't allowed to talk about...

Hannon's Corners - Originally and inn and blacksmith's forge, it has quickly become a common gathering point for the freehold. It is a quiet few rooms that we can come and go as we please. Any gathering that ends with only minor damage being done to the interior is a good one.

Howard's Club H - Another popular hang-out for the freehold, Howard's offer a laid back atmosphere and a ready supply of alcohol all provided by Johnny.

Muck's Bones - The local goblin market, Muck's Bones is built inside the corpse of a giant turtle. The market's temperamental merchants open the shell gates rarely.
