A Wyrd Disturbance
The Scarlet Mirror Freehold was established 10 years ago by a Changeling known as Evensong, The Frost Queen when in Winter. Little is known of her or her fellow monarchs, but the Freehold has been a silent sentinel in the Red Light District, albeit a flourishing and busy ecosystem in its own right.
Until now, that is.
We were unable to reach the recently recrowned Frost Queen for comment, but the recent influx of missing person’s reports at the Marshall and New Order offices are highly disconcerting. This, coupled with the uptick in Changeling deaths have caused the Wyrd blessed community to batten down the hatches, it seems.
Investigators had little to say as it is still in the beginning stages, but one did comment that they are exploring the possibility of a connection with Fairy Dust. This drug is a fresh addition to the Changeling scene with a big impact. It is slowly permeating in other circles, most prominently Vampires as it seems to affect them and Changelings the most. Fairy Dust comes in two forms: a flaky powder that can be sprinkled into the eyes, or a rock candy like form that can be ingested via the mouth.
In other Changeling news, Vampires have been seen in increasing Frenzies, attacking most anything in sight all over the city; though the death toll for Changelings are numbering higher than other species. Most recently, there was an attack in the Northern Slums, though most notably Vaughn Bellerose had rampaged in the streets of the Red Light District. He fled from Embraced Nightclub when several members of the Consequence community stepped in to stop him. Valentino Bellerose, owner of Embraced said, “Embraced is incredibly important to me and Vaughn was a cherished guest who visited often with his girlfriend, Willow. So it was surprising to see him attacking. But he may have gotten news of Willow’s passing, so it is difficult to judge him. I merely hope that he is found and helped before he hurts anyone else.”
Be safe on the streets out there, Consequencians.
