The Code of Escheat 

These traditions here are the most basic and fundamental laws of Kithian Society. These laws were
constructed during the Sundering as a way to ensure fae survival in the face of inexorable change. Passed
down and enforced by the nobility, the Escheat's tenets are respected by both Seelie and Unseelie Courts.
Unlike Oaths and other magical bonds these are forced by law, tradition and custom. Although, sometimes the Dreaming and Glamour will step in more dire circumstances and trangressions.

The Right of Demesne
 A lord is the king of his domain. He is the judge and jury over all crimes, large and small. His word is
law.  A noble expects obedience from his vassals and respect from all others. In return, a noble respects lords superior to him.

The Right to Dream
  Mortals have a right to dream unhindered by our needs. The Dreaming will die if we steal directly from
 the font. No one is allowed to use Glamour to manipulate the Creative Process. Although you may inspire creativity in the mortal mind, it is forbidden to give direct instruction or to infuse a mortal with raw
glamour.

The Right to Ignorance
  Do not betray the Dreaming to Banality. Never reveal yourself to humanity. Not only will human kind
  hunt us down for our wisdom and our power, it will overwhelm us with Banality and destroy our places
  of power. The more humanity knows, the more ardently it will seek us, draining the world of Glamour
and petrifying our essence with its basilisk's gaze.

The Right to Rescue
  All Kithian have the right to expect rescue from the foul grip of Banality. We are in danger together and
  must strive together to survive.  Never leave anyone behind. Kithin are required to rescue other Fae or
any creature of the Dreaming trapped by those who serve banality.

The Right to Safe Haven
  All places of the Dreaming are sacred. Kithian cannot allow Fae places to be endangered. All those who
  seek refuge in such places must be admitted.  Freeholds must be kept free of both Banality and worldly
violence.

The Right to Life
 No Kithian shall spill the lifeblood of another Kithian. No Kithian shall bring salt tears unto the earth. No
  Kithian shall take from the Dreaming one of its own. Death is anathema. (The Dreaming severely backs
up this tradition by infusing the murderer with banality)
