Changeling Exile

Apparently, changelings are supposed to be a whole family of creatures, but we only get one so far - the exile, spawn of night or dreamthief hags.

The isolated, secluded town of Blackhornshire has long been a safe haven for changelings. For several decades, the secret was well kept, and the changelings' hag mothers had not shown up. Recently, however, there have been whispers of infiltration and betrayal - apparently, some of the changelings may have changed sides, and could be working to not only break the cover, but indeed, convert the rest of their brothers and sisters. A trusted group of investigators, who have helped the town before, are called in to sniff arround - but discretion will be of utmost importance.

Misfortunate Mariah was doomed to become an evildoer from the very beggining of her life - as a tiefling changeling, evil was bound to be woven in the fabric of her being. And yet, she chose a life of quiet devotion to the Emerald Gods, becoming a druid.
When the nearby town is struck with tragedy - in the form of a series of apparently ritual killings - the townsfolk are quick to accuse the poor woman. While the druid's small band of friends discover clue after clue, the people become increasingly violent towards Mariah, pushing her to lash out.
On the brink of her radicalization, as she is becomes increasingly open to the idea of unleashing her powers on the terrified people, it is revealed that the person behind the killings is none other but then her own night hag mother.

Stendra Sourheart is a changeling who takes resisting hags to a whole new level - having long ago slain her mother, she poses as a naive and lost soul looking for sisterhood, infiltrating covens, and then using her unique talents to slay the hags who form them.
A few months ago, she ended up finding something too much even for her - a coven consisting of exactly thirteen dreamthief hags, hiding in the Shard mountains. She is looking for a group of people good with swords but great with sneaking -as she intends to draw out the hags, while her allies ambush them.
