Finders
The Finders are a special order within House Leanhaun that seeks out Dreamers to Rhapsodize for other house members who cannot do it for themselves.
Overview
Not every Leanhaun has the opportunity or leisure to seek out Dreamers to Rhapsodize. Many of their nobles and knights live in full view of Seelie rulers who would be 'put out,' to say the least, if they knew of such things. These Leanhaun need others to seek out Dreamers to whom they can form attachments. Finding and Rhapsodizing Dreamers can take a lot of time, though the largest part is just finding a mortal compatible with a given house member. Finders specialize in just that: they locate certain creative people and match them to Leanhaun who need them. Once the mortal has been introduced to the Fae and they have bonded, the Rhapsody takes place without any more involvement from the Finder.
Finders are highly skilled in sniffing out potential Dreamers and usually have a charismatic way that helps them entice the mortal to meet their "friends." They are highly sensitive to the nuances of taste and personality that make for a successful Rhapsody and are considered living treasures among the Leanhaun. The leader of the Finders, known as The Crown, wears the Crown of Dreams, a potent treasure that identifies dreamers and their potential, and holds a position of leadership among the Keepers of the Rose. While other Finders rarely attain high office or rank within the house, their abilities often lead to other Kithain granting them honors as entertainers, bards, or revel-masters. With these positions they are often encouraged to seek out new talent. So long as they bring a few to the Seelie Court to entertain for a while, no one asks what happens to the rest.
