Somehow or other one of the Gentry owes your character a single favour. Perhaps you hold a dark secret over that Fae - such as turning over another child or Changeling to the Other. Or was prompted by something as innocuous as offering a piece of bread to a withered old woman at a crossroads. However it came about, the Fae in question has given his word to provide one, and only one, service for your character. But this is a promise made out of a sense of obligation, not from kindness or respect.

Not available at Character Creation. This Merit must be acquired IC and is subject to ST approval.

This service can include transport to anyplace in the Hedge, or the mortal world (via the Hedge), in under an of travel time. One use of the Fae’s powers on any mortal or Changeling or temporarily working to foil a rival Other in its hunt. This favour does not extend to Arcadia or those who reside there, though the Fae may agree to rescue a certain individual from Faerie in exchange for an additional task from your character. Though this is unlikely to be pleasant.

Your character has a small token that they have been instructed to break when wishing to call on this Fae and ask for the favour. Once broken, this token cannot be re-used, and even if your character asks for no favour, the Fae cannot be called again.

Drawback

Most Changelings who find out about this favour may well assume (perhaps correctly!) that your character is a loyalist or a privateer.
