Changeling

Widdershins of Gran Magna Cir'cori, nestled in a small forest far from a trade road or any other settlement, lies a village. This village has no name and is not on any map. Anyone trying to observe the village and count how many people live there will quickly run into a problem, because the number of faces they would see rapidly outpaces the believeable population capacity. This is the village of the changelings.

Although most regard stories of beings with many faces as just a fable, the changelings have always been around, living in the shadows of the other races in a sort of symbiotic relationship. The changelings will visit the cities of the Nineward Coalition periodically to acquire new faces to enrich their cultural vocabulary, and in return, the changelings feel an obligation to perform good deeds for the individuals whos faces they imitate. Stories of problems mysteriously solved, lost objects found, and wrong situations made right proliferate whenever the changelings make a visit, and most remain none the wiser.
