The Autumn Court

The Court in Burlington
History: According to the Annals, the first changeling to arrive in Burlington was a courtier of the Autumn Court. A young woman of regal bearing with luminescent orange skin, and hair the color of the evening sky. The Annals are uncertain of her origins, but she arrived from the south during the war of 1812. Her reasons for staying are clear. Dusk felt that Burlington was a great location for a mecca of changeling knowledge. Its few trods made it easily defensible, and the fledgling university would help foster a learning environment. It is said that Dusk gathered 3 other lost, and that she was the one who forged the pact which protects Burlington to this day. Structure: The Autumn Court in Burlington lacks a firm group identity. Courtiers are allowed to conduct their own business as they please. and the Smiley Jane rarely plans meeting in advance. While not a strong group, they are rather strong individually.

The Benoit House
The Benoit House is an Orphanage located on the outskirts of Burlington. It sits on top of a small hill, overlooking three acres of property. The large brick building has been standing for over a hundred and fifty years. Despite wear, it is still in good condition. It is an imposing building with a presence which borders on living. Its reflective glass windows are as expressive as eyes, and the house moans woefully when winds are heavy. It is rumored that the building is rife with doors into the hedge, and that one such door leads into the hallow of the Autumn Court. The Benoit House has been a central point for Burlington Courtiers since it was built. It acts as an emergency source of glamor for members of the freehold, and as a temporary boarding house for those in need. It is also a fully functional, state licensed orphanage.
