The Harpers of Erin are a secret changeling society in Ireland.
Overview[]
Named for a society of scholars who met in Belfast at the end of the 18th century to preserve the Irish language and cultural heritage, the Harpers of Erin are an oathcircle of Kithain (and associated others) dedicated to the inspiration and protection of humans. They are led by Kestry, the former Duke of Belfast.
When the oath is sworn to join their number, each Harper is granted a tiny treasure brooch (or lapel pin) shaped like a Celtic harp made of silver and set with spun-glass strings. This enchanted brooch bestows a point of Glamour on the oathmaker. If the oath is ever broken, the harp brooch disappears, leaving the oathbreaker branded chimerically with a glittering sable harp visible to all members of the society.
