The Duchy of the Four Winds is a Fief of the Kithain in the Kingdom of Grass.

Overview[]

Mary Elizabeth 01

This Midwestern duchy derives its name from both its Autumn World designation as a melting pot of American cultures and its fae position as a gathering place for changelings of all kiths and Houses, a place where the “four winds” meet. Caer Palatine is the freehold of Queen Mary Elizabeth, ruler of the Kingdom of Grass. Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, on land owned by Northwestern University, just north of the city, Caer Palatine embodies neo-classic lines that match, in their elegance and grace, the personality of its ruler. All changelings find welcome and hospitality in Caer Palatine so long as they forswear violence and abide by the laws of Concordia. In Chicago itself, Millennium Park serves as a gathering place for commoners, both Seelie and Unseelie. Chicago’s sizable German and Scandinavian population has drawn members of House Aesin to establish a base there. Sir Gunter Sorenson claims the Freehold of Heartsong in Chicago’s theatre district. Here, he hopes to gather skalds and folklorists of his house to form a cultural center in Concordia’s heartland.

The state capital, Springfield, contains several freeholds that take advantage of the city’s rich culture and support of the performing arts. The changeling rock band, Free Spirits, featuring its charismatic vocalist, Enchanté, of House Leanhaun, occupies the Freehold of Muse’s Haven in a 19th-century mansion near the Hoagland Center for the Arts. Some of the house’s most noted performers, including the Leanhaun-affiliated satyr, Dame Izzy Tot, and Baroness Robin, the prima ballerina, have stayed there briefly to refresh themselves.
