-	~~Expert creators~~, ~~these Master Builders can construct houses~~, ~~statues~~, and ~~castles without~~ the ~~need~~ of ~~tools or workers~~.	+	The Bridgemasons' Order is an old one, dating back at least as far as the Dark Ages. Its doctrine says it was born during a distant mythic era, when the Gentry slipped between worlds with ease. The ancient True Fae took artisans as slaves and taught them how to build bridges across the Hedge so that the Gentry could ride down safe and fast. This became the art of Wyrdbuilding, and practitioners founded the Order of Bridgemasons and made themselves a great guild among the Lost. They built mighty walls, tunnel-ridden mounds and high temples for their freeholds.

-	~~Defenders~~ and ~~negotiatiors~~, ~~these Barons~~ and ~~Baronesses deal with~~ the hobgoblins ~~and hedge beasts~~, ~~peacefully if possible~~, ~~violently if~~ necessary.	+	The Hedge has its own inhabitants: A host of goblins, hobgoblins and Hedge Beasts who range from small creatures who cringe when changelings pass by, but occasionally dream of feasting on their bones, to strange and inhuman foes and even a few potential allies against the fae. The Barony of the Lesser Ones is charged with dealing with these hobgoblins. Its members negotiate with some, carefully watch the activities of others, and, when necessary, defend changelings from the depredations of the Hedge's hostile inhabitants. Barons of the Lesser Ones regularly go on expeditions into the Hedge to hunt down and slay hostile hobgoblins like border reavers, enticers or vileshrikes, as well as making deals or treaties with potentially non-hostile hobgoblins like hobs, spryghts or drudgemen.

That is their first stated goal: to assist those poor Lost (which, to most Bishops, constitutes all of them) when necessary. They often wander the Hedge and look for those who have escaped from Arcadia, and offer guidance to those who are lost, above all. As a changeling, it’s all too easy to lose one’s way, and the Bishopric accepts the role of savior.

Many of society’s rules of social conduct involve restraining one’s self within certain perimeters of behavior which have been deemed to be acceptable by the masses and while this insistence on conformity seems on the surface to protect society, it induces stagnation and punishes those who think outside the box. So, at least, runs the philosophy of the Broken Cage.

And that is what they seek: true leaders. Those rulers who are exceptional in some aspect are what draw the attention of this eldritch order. It’s true that a word like “exceptional” is just an adjective and thus, subjective. The Circle argues, however, that it’s no such thing. That one’s excellence is measurable and more importantly, demonstrable, and in doing so merits a monarch to wear the golden torc that rests upon the neck of the Gilded King or Queen.

-	~~Students~~ of ~~fate, these Diviners seek out~~ the threads of destiny to ~~form~~ a ~~picture~~ of the ~~future~~.	+	The fae of the College of Worms believe that fate needs to be scrutinized. The threads of destiny aren’t easy to find ― the number “13” on a passing cab, the image of a crow formed in the steam that darkens a mirror, an oddly-shaped paper cut on one’s ring finger ― but they’re there for those who care to sort the chaff from the wheat. If the seemingly inscrutable threads of fate can be parsed and understood, then perhaps the College of Worms can help predict when terrible things might happen to the freehold. The diviners of the College are not necessarily glad to provide such a service, as doing so often engenders a risk to their Clarity. But they feel it needs to be done, and accept that they are the only ones truly willing to commit to the task.

The so-called Courtiers of the Solstice believe that they are on the path that leads to such a thing, venerating and, in some cases, perhaps even safeguarding the transitions between the seasons. The entitlement serves as a sanctuary for idealists, an experiment for those curious about the power of the between-times and half-places, and, also as a dumping ground for those who couldn’t cut it in any of the established Courts.

-	~~Potent manipulators, these~~ Dukes and Duchesses ~~refuse to let love and grief rule their life~~, ~~choosing~~ to ~~control others' emotions~~ instead.	+	The heart is a fragile thing. The Dukes and Duchesses of the Icebound Heart recognize this fact, having themselves been once-vulnerable, and they have sworn to never again be helpless in such a way. No longer will they be the puppets, instead becoming the puppet-masters. Most of the changelings in the Duchy are potent manipulators, playing emotions like a master harpist. It gets them whatever they want, whenever they want it.

-	~~Fetch hunters~~, ~~these Dukes and Duchesses seek out and destroy~~ the fae-~~created imposters~~.	+	To many changelings the greatest horror of their captivity strikes upon their return, when they discover that not only was no one aware of the horrors they suffered, but their friends and families did not even know they were gone. Instead, changelings must face a soulless fae-made imposter who has been living their lives and is often now their bitter foe. In an effort to prevent such horrors, the Dukes of Truth and Loss hunt down fetches before the changelings they ape return from Arcadia.

-	~~Living memories, these Lords~~ and ~~Ladies work~~ to ~~ensure~~ that the ~~[[Lords of Summer]] are never~~ forgotten.	+	Many Lost fight their way out of Arcadia and struggle through the Hedge, only to discover themselves all but forgotten by their friends and loved ones. Whether a changeling has been replaced by a fetch, is believed long-dead, or simply has changed enough that his former family and companions can no longer recognize him, returning to claim a life and being treated as a stranger is a terrible plight to endure. By dedicating themselves to serving as a living memory for those around them, the Eternal Echoes hope to keep themselves and other Lost from being forgotten.

Those that stand in the way of the Court’s interests become targets. Those that dare to oppose the King or Queen — or worse, dare to bring harm to the monarch — are found to be enemies of the freehold, as judged by the members of this secret “noble” council. What happens to those branded as traitors, obstructionists, enemies? It depends on the thirst for blood possessed by the local Hounds.

The Knighthood of the Dragonslayer — or Ordem dos Cavaleiros Matadors de Dragão — still works today, but not necessarily in a militaristic capacity. While members are expected to have some martial prowess to their credit, what they really do is function as spies, interrogators and policemen. If what’s exposed cannot be abided, they do whatever must be done to either continue the disclosure or to end it where it lays.

The Beys are not secret about what they do. They make their efforts clear, which often puts them into opposition with the local changelings (especially those who support an existing ruler, one who has little interest in being forcibly deposed). But the Lost of the Beylik take it all in stride, having full faith in their abilities to raise a king, queen, sultan or caliph to the throne.

It exists to purposely propagate an illicit underworld bent toward acts of violence, thievery, gambling, prostitution, drug-peddling, piracy — whatever unruly behavior the group can manage. Its members either belong to “normal” fae society and work with the Tong on the sly, or instead disappear from the freehold’s normal comings and goings, working full-time for the order — becoming phantoms, themselves.
