The Carnival of 1000 Delights, more commonly known simply as the Carnival, is an Arcadian realm open to any who can find it. It is a realm of Dread Purpose.

Background[]

More akin to an enormous Goblin Market than a realm of the Others, those within the Carnival must swear to an oath of staunch neutrality while within its borders. Only after making such an oath will the Barker, a True Fae who guards the gate, let the entrant in.

Within the Carnival are all kinds of entertainment, from amusement park rides to houses of ill-repute to gambling dens. At the center, however, is the Grand Market, where deals are made at all hours of the day; trades are made similarly to other Goblin Markets, though the Carnival itself makes sure to take a cut of the profits.

Changelings held here may be of any kith or seeming. Those thus bound may buy or gamble their way to freedom. As the Gentry are just as bound by their oath as the Lost, a victorious changeling will be readily escorted back through the Hedge to the mortal world.
