The Sacramento freehold has been a fragmented story so far since its inception during the California Gold Rush when the first Lost settled; each one arriving with numerous reasons and secrets. No matter their differences however, they each belonged to one of the Seasonal Courts and when the freehold was finally established, it was under the unified banner of the Seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Naturally, there were grudges and intrigue but these were often overcome due to the pledges sworn.
+
The history of the Sacramento Freehold is inconsistent and diverse. It has known feast and famine, war and peace, bliss and pain. Many attribute this to the Freehold's status as a hub for travel up and down the West coast. Many more Changelings pass through Sacramento than ever put down roots and stay, and you would be hard pressed to find a native among the Freehold. It's mood can depend a great deal on who it currently counts among it's pledged members, and what boons or troubles they bring with them or find in their residence.  
-
That was until the Autumn King decided he must continue to rule and refused to give up his throne, his crown, to the Winter Queen. In that one moment, the Wyrd snapped as the freehold erupted into war as past wrongs came to the fore and Changeling blood was spilled.
+
That is less true, of late. A cloud has hung over the Freehold in recent years. Manifested most dramatically in the burning of the Four Seasons, the former commons of the entire 'Hold, by the Draconic True Fae who calls himself Fairweather. The dragon claimed vassals and sovereigns alike as he wrought devastation upon the Changelings of Sacramento, and then abruptly vanished back into the Hedge. His work continues, however. His minions burn a path through the surrounding Hollows, searching for something. His real-world businesses make moves and counter-moves, all in service to some hidden agenda. And the mortal guise of the Fae himself has been spotted again on the streets of Sacramento.  
-
It was at this time when trods began to open up across the freehold and in a tidal wave of nightmares, the Gentry swept in with Hedge beasts, hobgoblins and loyalists under their command, killing and capturing as many fae as possible before the remaining Sovereigns rallied together to make a stand. However, they were still pushed back further into the freehold, always on the defensive and readying themselves for one final battle.
+
As if these weren't troubles enough, Sacramento has also been struck by the abandonment of it's leadership. In the Spring of 2016, all four Sovereigns vanished, leaving behind only a few tokens of their good-will and a letter of consolation and hope. In their wake, new Sovereigns have emerged, untested Queens of each of the four Seasons, who lead their Courts through this time of danger and strife. Even as the dragon works, other matters continue to assail them. Mad Changelings, escaped hedge-beasts, an unfriendly goblin market, and other troubles besides continue to test the Freehold's capacity to deal with adversity. Such desperate struggles drive many Lost to hunger, to anger, to fear, and to sorrow, for every battle fought is mirrored in their own fractured minds.  
-
Then, from beyond the Hedge came three strangers. Two represented the Dawn and Dusk whereas the third was of no Court; a balancing force. Together, they aided the Seasons in their war and fought the Gentry, pushing them back into the Hedge and as the freehold pledge was re-founded and the trods closed, the True Fae returned to Arcadia. In the aftermath, the outside Courts left after the Seasons had settled once more while the balancing fae remained behind, to watch from inside the freehold.

What good would it do to retain Sacramento but lose your mind?
-
Time moved on as fae came and went, Sovereigns rose and fell and all the while, the Gentry remained a distant, if terrible, memory. Now, it seems that strife has arisen once again in the freehold. The Summer King killed by a Loyalist while his replacement is growing mad on paranoia. The Spring Sovereign banished for breaking a powerful oath and leading to the new Spring Queen to take the throne in a coup, leaving the Spring Court in bitter disarray. The Winter Queen is accused of being nothing but a shallow bitch whereas the Autumn King ponders his next move, wise to the city's previous Dread Lord's mistake. Amongst it all, the Gentry have been spotted outside the mortal world, travelling through the Hedge that surrounds Sacramento.

The history of the Sacramento Freehold is inconsistent and diverse. It has known feast and famine, war and peace, bliss and pain. Many attribute this to the Freehold's status as a hub for travel up and down the West coast. Many more Changelings pass through Sacramento than ever put down roots and stay, and you would be hard pressed to find a native among the Freehold. It's mood can depend a great deal on who it currently counts among it's pledged members, and what boons or troubles they bring with them or find in their residence.

That is less true, of late. A cloud has hung over the Freehold in recent years. Manifested most dramatically in the burning of the Four Seasons, the former commons of the entire 'Hold, by the Draconic True Fae who calls himself Fairweather. The dragon claimed vassals and sovereigns alike as he wrought devastation upon the Changelings of Sacramento, and then abruptly vanished back into the Hedge. His work continues, however. His minions burn a path through the surrounding Hollows, searching for something. His real-world businesses make moves and counter-moves, all in service to some hidden agenda. And the mortal guise of the Fae himself has been spotted again on the streets of Sacramento.

As if these weren't troubles enough, Sacramento has also been struck by the abandonment of it's leadership. In the Spring of 2016, all four Sovereigns vanished, leaving behind only a few tokens of their good-will and a letter of consolation and hope. In their wake, new Sovereigns have emerged, untested Queens of each of the four Seasons, who lead their Courts through this time of danger and strife. Even as the dragon works, other matters continue to assail them. Mad Changelings, escaped hedge-beasts, an unfriendly goblin market, and other troubles besides continue to test the Freehold's capacity to deal with adversity. Such desperate struggles drive many Lost to hunger, to anger, to fear, and to sorrow, for every battle fought is mirrored in their own fractured minds.

What good would it do to retain Sacramento but lose your mind?
