Dreaming and Dreamers of the South:
Where there is a mind, it dreams. And when it dreams, it creates. Like anywhere in the world, the Fae world of Florida is as much a creation of its mundane citizens as it is of the Fair Folk who bask in its Glamour.
The state of Florida is known to the Kithian as the Kingdom of the White Sands. Ruled by Queen Morgana of House Gwydion from her adobe in Caer Flamingo, the entire Kithian society here takes a distinct Spanish flavour to its feudal system. Born out of the dreams, and nightmares, of both Conquisidors and Explorers, Natives and Immigrants, Traders and Merchants, The Near Dreaming of Florida is a cauldron of the dreams of those who move, explore and discover, and the nightmares of war, plague and displacement.
Jacksonville and the surrounding area is the domain and realm of Tremore Halsey of House Gwydion, Duke of the Duchy of the First Coast, who rule his realm from his Freehold of Seven Bridges.

The Council of Commons
Employed by Duke Tremore to represent a sense of slight democratic reform, the Council of Commons is composed of a notable member of each of the common Kith. Most of its members are household Knights of the Duke.

Notes on euro-centrism:
cWoD is a European creation (as most US citizens are of European decent and culture), it is euro-centric and especially Anglo-centric. In this setting, there is one major shift from the convention of CtD's plotline: While it was the Europeans who learned and mastered the Changeling Way, The Dreaming is a place of not only infinite potential, but of limitless and boundless dreams. As such, the Changeling Way spread like wyldfire throughout the world, and, taking many and varied forms, has preserved in equal measures the Fae of every lore. Three world traditions distinctly lack in Kith source material: The Near (or "middle") East, the Indian sub-continent and sub-Saharan Africa. Be creative, and feel free to tread outside the bounds of European Fairytales, and if you have a particular tale you want to base a Kith on, let's work on it together and create it!
This is a work in progress. More is always to come
