Elves, elves, elves! Join Victor and Simon today as we discuss the Sidhe, their place in Concordia and in storytelling Changeling, and some of their more often overlooked elements such as their trouble with linear time. We get into their roles in Court politics, their Houses, and their political Impulses. We also veer off into their origins in real world mythology, so buckle up -- one whole episode devoted to only one and a half kiths!
The readings from today’s conversation were “The Hosting of the Sidhe” by William Butler Yeats, and “Fool’s Luck: the Way of the Commoner”. The music from today’s conversation was LSD by Monplaisir.
Bonus Round!

Where did you get House Liam as the christen house? In their original write up that was a part of it, but it was mostly their hard on for humanity

Love the podcast - having a great time catching up. Even when I don't agree (and I often do) your perspectives are interesting and well-articulated. I did have a specific comment about your final note on David? 1) I don't think his previous Seelie characterisation is necessarily relevant in C20. He's pretty clearly a broken man if not actively someone's puppet. 2) I didn't take the comment about a potential sidhe child as that being an active plan so much as a Romantic Notion. It read more to me as an explanation that Lenore's status as heir *would* be supplanted by this notional sidhe child, not that there was an active expectation of one appearing? Then again I could be retconning my own memory of the passage since - as you say - that's... not how any of this has ever worked. (Also your pronunciation of "Gwydion" is pretty good! Eiluned is ay-LEE-ned though. Rhymes with "Hey, Meat-Head"... It's a Welsh name and I'm a Welsh speaker.)
