Editing Changeling: The Lost (section)

=====Directional Courts (2E)=====
2E retooled them, bringing them more in line with the concept of the Mandate of Heaven and introducing a fifth Directional Court. Rather than passing power from one another, they all act as co-rulers to preserve harmony in their domains.

'''Court of the Black Tortoise'''
*'''Court Emotion''': Suffering
*Mostly unchanged from 1e's Court of the North.

'''Court of the Vermillion Bird'''
*'''Court Emotion''': Rebellion
*The members of this Court often suffered greatly during their Durance, and now they won't be made to suffer again. They view Change as the foundation of the Mandate of Heaven, and are always at the forefront of any struggle against social systems they believe to have ossified become oppressive.

'''Court of the Azure Serpent'''
*'''Court Emotion''': Envy
*Mostly unchanged from 1e's Court of the East.

'''Court of the White Tiger'''
*'''Court Emotion''': Honor
*Mostly unchanged from 1e's Court of the South. 

'''Court of the Yellow Dragon'''
*'''Court Emotion''': Reflection
*More moderate and contemplative than its fellow Directional Courts, the Court of the Center usually takes power after one of the other Courts has completed a great work in order to give the changelings of those courts a moment of reprieve and self-reflection. They follow Huanglong, the Yellow Dragon.
