All changelings who approach Ms. Jasons are allowed the opportunity to swear the freehold pledge. She gives them the choice of binding themselves to either a simple seasonal vow or a more serious yearlong commendation.
"All members of our community must at minimum pledge a vow to neither reveal our true natures and the existence of our freehold nor knowingly give assistance of any sort to the Gentry or their agents. Do nothing to bring danger into our society during this Autumn Season and you shall be blessed with fortitude. Betray this promise and you shall find your welcome most fearfully withdrawn and your name shall become accursed."
The Autumn Queen's horridly bloodshot gaze bores into those that wish to swear a more lasting vow, almost as if she doubts their sincerity and is testing their resolve.
"For those who wish to pledge their loyalty to the freehold with both words and deeds for the turning of the year, in addition, you must declare what talent or service you vow to provide to our community. For such dedication, you shall reap the benefits of your commendation for as long as you fearlessly work towards the good of the freehold."
Swearing either vow requires the expenditure of one Willpower point.
This is not an actual conversation scene so much as a record of freehold pledge swearing, so Betony Rue will not be posting replies. Please only post your character's acceptance of either the seasonal pledge or yearlong commendation and continue any conversations with the Autumn Queen in the appropriate scene. Please note that the commendation requires your changeling to state what skill or talent they will be swearing to the service of the freehold. Players do not need to copy this post in the Current Pledges thread, but do need to add the Autumn Freehold Pledge or Commendation to their signature/minisheet.
