Collection: August: The Changeling

In August 2025, subscribers encountered the Changeling.

Every once in a while, an unusual child appears in the village, left in a cradle or occasionally on a doorstep. Sometimes, the family’s sleeping baby is replaced with another; or with a magicked piece of bog oak; or with a crude poppet enchanted to resemble the original infant.

Most families assume that the Strange Ones are involved. Perhaps the Strange Ones hope their own offspring will gain life experience outside of Peregrin, then return home later, well-educated and traveled. Other stories say that the swaps are not always simple, and may involve rearranging children across several lands or even other worlds. There are even rumors that the Strange Ones have delivered some Birdmoss children to families in our world.

The Changeling Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.  

Some items are available for individual purchase.
