Wild Hunt (CTD)

The Wild Hunt is an age-old event of the Fae.

Overview

The Wild Hunt is an entertainment of the fae in which a party of Unseelie (usually sidhe) and their chimerical hounds harry an enchanted mortal through the streets or lonely countryside. The pack tears the mortal to pieces if it catches them, causing the Mists to plunge them into a coma from which they later awaken, believing the whole experience to have been a nightmare. The subjects of these hunts often appear insane, or at least disturbed, to the unenchanted, who only see the mortal seemings of the changelings and certainly none of the chimera. It might seem to them like the hunted person is being chased by a group of children or rowdy teenagers playing a harmless (albeit annoying) game.
