Liam (LEE· am)
The quietest (some also say wisest) of the Houses, House Liam is known for its dedication to the mortal world and the protection of humans, a cause pursued with passion that even the Fiona notice. These fae do not see humans as perfect - far from it - but do feel humanity has a right to exist undisturbed. Members of House Liam are angered by Ravaging and hate Banality, and their normally peaceful demeanors are quick to change when presented with such.
The House is looked down on among the fae for its outspoken allegiances. Although law forbids Liam fae from being openly mistreated, the truth is that they are virtually pariahs among the sidhe; most are widely traveled and dispersed. Liam sidhe are often among the few nobles who truly understand humans, and are master sages, record-keepers and archivists. A wise king keeps a member of House Liam on staff as such. House Liam owns few freeholds, and the ones they do rule are often broken-down urban wastelands no one else would take.
Affiliation: Seelie
Boon: Members of House Liam find it easy to enchant mortals; they need spend one less point of Glamour to do so than other changelings. Even this, however, has a downside - Liam fae begin with one more point of Banality than normal.
Flaw: Those of House Liam are considered oathbroken; no other changeling feels obligated to honor oathbonds, hospitality or justice so far as these fae are concerned. In addition, Liam fae begin with one less Status Trait than their Title would normally indicate.
