1. #1Empire of the Caucasus

   Keys: Empire of the Caucasus

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   The Empire of the Caucasus is a Kingdom of the Kithain in Turkey and the Caspian Sea Basin. This vast area includes Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. The changelings of this region, in their mortal form, strive to conform to current social mores to avoid calling attention to themselves. When they gather together in their freeholds, often spots visited by European tourists where they do not stand out so much, they interact with the Dreaming in ways familiar to most of the fae. The current Padishah (or emperor), Karim ibn Hassan ap Gwydion, has chosen to model his rule after the romantic trappings of the Arabian Nights. Courtiers wear elaborate clothing in the style of ancient Turks. Nobles rule the commoners, although occasionally a commoner may distinguish themself and join the ranks of the nobility.

2. #2Eyalet of Rumelia

   Keys: Eyalet of Rumelia

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   Eyalet of Rumelia is a changeling fief, part of larger Empire of the Caucasus. Region: Western and Central Anatolia, including Istanbul/Constantinople, Ankara, Izmir, and Bursa. Rumelia is the Empire’s window to Europe. Istanbul’s dreaming is a palimpsest of empires—Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman—and its Jinn are masters of subtle influence. The Grand Bazaar of Dreams is the largest chimerical marketplace east of the Kingdom of Flowers, where Jinn trade glamour-spices, flying carpets (woven by Inanimae), and dreams of coffee-ground prophecies. Beylerbey Lale, a peri who chose to stay when the sidhe fled west, governs with a blend of Ottoman courtliness and modern pragmatism.

   Keys: freehold, Ashen Bastion

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   The old Genoese Galata watchtower, now a museum and restaurant by day, becomes a blazing fortress by night. Chimerical flames lick the windows, and the spiral staircase groans with the heat of forges that exist only in the Dreaming. The Bastion is the seat of Unseelie Ifrit warlord who rejects the Padishah’s alliance with the western Kithain and seeks to ignite a purifying fire across the Caucasus. Her followers, the “Children of Ash,” train here in battle‑strategy and righteous anger, drawing Glamour from defying authority and testing their mettle against any perceived oppression. The tower’s top is a beacon of smoke and cinders visible only to fae eyes.

   Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

   On the promontory where the Byzantine Great Palace once stood at Sarayburnu, a chimerical palace of lapis and gold overlays the archaeological site. This is the seat of the Vali of Istanbul, the appointed representative of Padishah. The freehold is built from the Dream of Constantinople’s lost glory—vaulted halls echo with hymns to Michael’s Trinity, but the Jinn overlay has recast that dream into an imperial court of Persian and Ottoman grandeur. The throne room is open to all Jinn who come to petition, but the whispers of the city’s ancient past seep through every mosaic.

    Location: The Abandoned Greek Orphanage, Büyükada. On the largest of the Princes’ Islands, a vast, rotting wooden structure looms atop a pine‑crowned hill. Mortals know it as the Rum Yetimhanesi, the largest wooden building in Europe, a haunted shell of a 19th‑century Greek orphanage. The caern is a Silver Fang stronghold of House Wise Heart. After the loss of the Aral Sea Caern to the Shadow Curtain, King Tariki himself consecrated this site in the 1960s, awakening the dormant spirit of the Pine. Unlike the grand Septs of Russia or North America, the Unfallen Pine is a mendicant, contemplative place.

    Keys: chantry, Arx Karagoz

    Enabled · Selective · Before character · Order 10 · 100%

    On the Asian outskirts of Istanbul, amid a tangle of cypress and scrubland, a three‑story Byzantine citadel slumps against the hillside. The chantry is a joint holding of the Ahl‑i‑Batin who joined Order of Hermes and the Golden Chalice sect of the Euthanatos. The citadel was built in the 12th century by a Batini master, who had discovered the Node’s labyrinth. For centuries, it was a pure Batini stronghold. After the Mongol sack of Baghdad, it became a waystation for fleeing scholars; after the Ottoman conquest, a safehouse for Ahl‑i‑Batin working to balance the empire’s spiritual forces. The Euthanatos of the Golden Chalice arrived in the 17th century. A mutual crisis—a Nephandus cult attempting to desecrate the labyrinth—forced the two Traditions to cooperate. In 2024, the chantry remains a place of coincidental magick. Hermetic, Sufi, and Thanatoic rotes are coincidental within its walls, the Consensus of the Middle East holding flexibility here.

    "The Dream" was a Cainite utopia of enlightenment and learning shepherded by a cabal of long-lost methuselahs – it took root in Constantinople over a millennium ago. When Christianity became an influential religion, the methuselah Beshter adopted it and renamed himself Michael, after the Archangel Michael. By the time Rome was falling from grace, he left it with Antonius and the Dracon to build their own Cainite utopia in Byzance. Initially, Antonius was the Father figure of their Trinity, Dracon was the Holy Ghost and Michael was the Son. Thus the Dream was born. Things only worsened from there, as the Inconnu and the Lasombra Narses did everything in their power to undermine Constantinople. The ultimate betrayal, however, came when its primary caretaker fell to foul diablerie at the fangs of Mary the Black, during the Fourth Crusade. Since then, the ragged banner of the Dream has persisted in one form or another in the hands of would-be successors (like the Nosferatu Malachite), but none with the glory of its original champion.
