Changeling: The Dreaming was part of White Wolf Game Studio's original "World of Darkness" role playing game line. Player characters are changelings, fae souls reborn into human bodies, a practice begun by the fae to protect themselves as magic vanished from the world. The game explores the balance between imagination and practicality, and the struggle of art and beauty against the dark, mysterious "gothic-punk" World of Darkness. Changeling draws primarily from Irish mythology, particularly stories of the sidhe and Tuatha Dé Danann, but also uses mythology and folklore from various other cultures including Native American nations, Greece, India and Yoruba mythology of Africa.
History
While Changeling developed (and maintains) quite a devoted following, its themes and subject were often perceived as too complex or too childish, and White Wolf discontinued the game more than a year before the end of the World of Darkness line. Time of Judgment, published in early 2004, included a chapter on the end of the world from a Changeling perspective, and was the last published material for the game. Fae is a World of Darkness - Dark Ages game with strong links to Changeling. There is no indication yet that a game about the fae will be part of the new World of Darkness. Justin Achilli, a developer with White Wolf, reportedly submitted a request to write a new Changeling game for the new World of Darkness line; even if such a request were approved, the current backlog of work in updating other games means a new Changeling wouldn't emerge until 2006 at the very earliest. There have been indications that a few of the finished although unpublished books may be released by a different publisher, although no concrete details are known.
Overview
The fae are creatures of imagination, drawing magical power and their very existence from "glamour", the creative energy of humans. Glamour created and maintains a separate realm of imagination known as the Dreaming, from which the fae originally came to the mortal world. During the Renaissance and the subsequent rise of rational thought and science, glamour became less common in the real world, and the opposing force of banality could injure or kill the fae. In response, the fae nobility (the sidhe) withdrew to Arcadia, their home deep in the Dreaming, and the commoner fae developed "the Changeling way", and became changelings.
