White Foam is a Freehold of the Nunnehi in the Appalachian Mountains.
Overview[]

Hidden alongside a riverbank deep within the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area lis the yunwi amai'yine'hi village of White Foam. Brought into existence soon after the Shattering, the village has only rarely been visited by non-native mortals or changelings, mostly due to its remoteness. The Big South Fork area covers 10,000 acres of wild, rugged wilderness in the Cumberland Mountains.
The land itself is untamed, with dense woodlands, rocky gorges, and deep ravine providing the framework for swift mountain streams, rushing rivers, leaf-strewn rock-lined ponds, and cascading waterfalls. While kayaking and white water rafting are possible within the area, the rivers lie far removed from paved roads. Trails into Big South Fork are accessible only on foot or by horseback. Four-wheel-drive vehicles can reach part of the area, but an approaching White Foam inexplicably suffer dire fates (all four tires shredded, bucketsful of dirt somehow added to the coolant, or even disappearing altogether while their owners explore the woods).
Spread through northern Tennessee and southern Kentucky, Big South Fork nominally falls within the governance of the Duchy of Appalachia. No changelings of European stock have ever asserted there rights here and survived the experience, though. While the yunwi amai'yine'hi enjoy seeing those people who have respect for their rivers, those who are too noisy or leave garbage or unnecessarily destroy foliage or build fires that are too large are targets for the faeries' wrath. Led by master pranksters such as Leaping Waters, the native fae may tip over visitors' boats or string together all the interlopers' food and drag it through the water. Tents and clothes get "wettings." as a last resort, the muni amai'yine'hi may grab particularly obnoxious campers from below while they are trying to bathe or swim and half-drown them.
White Foam itself looks more like a series of dome-shaped beaver dams along the riverbank than a native village. Constructed of intertwined sticks covered with reeds and mud, the dwellings are surprisingly roomy inside so long as no one wishes to stand fully erect. The fae keep any valuables they have... a few pieces of pottery, clothing, and a trinket or two made from river stones... within their abodes. The communal treasure, such as it is, is kept with a waterproof sack tied to stones at the bottom of the river. Such treasures may include jewelry and other pretty-shines lost by campers near the faerie village or while white water rafting.
