First Night is a recent tradition among the Changelings of House Fiona.
Overview[]
First Night is the physical initiation of the fully mature wilder into the world of the sensual. To be chosen to take a young Fiona sidhe through their first tastes of love is a tremendous honor; this is a night both will remember for many years to come. The local noble (who chooses the young Fiona's first lover) sometimes throws and enormous banquet on the night of the celebration and a huge brunch the next day. Many boggans compete for the privilege of cooking the feast and decorating the love chamber. The sweetest occasions, though, are those where neither of the young Kithain have sampled the delectations of love. Much teasing ensues, but mostly in good taste.
