Somewhat like different species of fairy, a Changeling's kith indicates the kind of dreams which birthed her soul in the Dreaming. The kiths are based on fairy archetypes from various sources, and while the most common kiths are drawn largely from Irish mythology, many others also exist. The descriptions below touch on only a few of the types of stories or traditional fairies which correlate to each Kith. Each Changeling also falls into a certain seeming which is related to their age. The seemings include Childlings, which are the youngest group between the ages of three and thirteen, Wilders, which are between the ages of thirteen and twenty five, and Grumps, which include any older changelings though they rarely make it very long before becoming undone.

As Changelings age and pass through the various seemings they lose some of their glamour which is the stuff changeling magic is made of. They also gain Banality, a force created by mortal disbelief. The Seelie have a reputation as the guardians of fae traditions. They are the peacekeepers, protectors of the weak, and the ideals of chivalry. Most seelie seek the reunion between the mortal world and the dreaming, and would like to be back to the time before the realms became divided. Where the Seelie dedicate themselves to preserving the traditions of the fae, the Unseelie style themselves as mockers of those traditions. They stand for the principles of constant change and impulsive action. They have a reputation for fostering war and madness, despising those weaker than themselves, and valuing freedom and wildness over any chivalric code.

The Unseelie see themselves as radical visionaries, bringing about vital change and transformation through whatever means necessary, including violence. Most members of the Unseelie court believe that the Dreaming has abandoned them, and therefore, that they owe no special loyalty to it or to their lost home of Arcadia. In the Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary publication, Piskies, Selkies, and Clurichaun were added. The Sidhe were divided into two different Kiths: Autumn Sidhe and Arcadian Sidhe. Found in the book Land of Eight Million Dreams by James A. Moore these are the closest equivalent to kithain native to the realms of central and western Asia. More so than any other of the gallain, the hsien are not like standard changelings.

They use an entirely different system of magic much closer to that of Mage: The Ascension. The closest analogue mythologically are the Hsien or Shinma, small gods who were once the servants of greater spirits and who now must secretly answer the prayers of the faithful. Rather than their souls being born into human bodies, Hsien appropriate the bodies and mortal personalities of the recently deceased, usually hiding the fact that they died at all. They are organised into ten "kwannon-jin", kith-like divisions which include the noble Kamuii and the commoner Hirayanu. Introduced in the Blood-Dimmed Tides World of Darkness sourcebook: Merfolk Tritons, mermaids, mermen, the ocean's nobles and seducers and Murdhuacha pronounced me-ROO-cha ; Nucks, Merrow, sea monsters. These two Kiths both begin life as Nereids Mer children, or the "larval" stage yet attain maturity by merging with an Apsara, a sea creature ritually bonded with the Nereid to form roughly half of the changeling's new body usually the body's lower half and the extremities.

Nereids whose Apsarae are bony fishes, sharks, cetaceans or even oceanic reptiles evolve into merfolk; Nereids who bond with crustaceans, jellyfish, squids, octopuses, worms or other oceanic invertebrates become murdhuacha. The two Kiths are traditionally mortal enemies, but the rising tides of Banality and the human defilement of the oceans have forced merfolk and murduacha into an unsteady truce. Changeling: The Dreaming was originally published by White Wolf Publishing in July A Player's Guide supplement for Changeling: The Dreaming was released in , adding additional abilities, legacies, flaws and merits not included in the base game's rulebook, material relating to the Autumn People which had been left out of the rulebook due to printing errors, and new information on the game world.

Time of Judgment , published in early , included a chapter on the end of the world from a Changeling's perspective, and was the last official published material for the game. Dark Ages: Fae is a World of Darkness: Dark Ages game with strong links to Changeling. In August , White Wolf published Promethean: The Created , which included an advertisement for a version of Changeling , confirming the rumors that Changelings would appear in the Chronicles of Darkness setting then known as the "new" World of Darkness. In April , White Wolf unveiled the new "Changeling" line, Changeling: The Lost , and updated their site periodically with information about the new game. The game approaches changeling legends more traditionally: the characters are actual humans who were stolen by the Fae, taken to Arcadia as slaves, and finally escaped back to Earth.

Their magical nature is the result of changes wrought upon them in the world of the Faerie. The types of changelings lack any direct connection to a particular culture's legends. The Fae are purely antagonists, while Courts are determined by the four seasons, and the spiritual and past life dimensions have been discarded. Lucya Szachnowski of Arcane magazine called the game bland compared to White Wolf's other games, felt it failed to create an atmosphere of its own, and criticized the developers' decision to have most fae emigrate to America as it removed the option to have stories set in "the homelands of the brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen".

Szachnowski appreciated the use of cantrip cards and the option to play with or without them, but criticized the game's rules for lacking depth, commenting that if the game "had been the first Storyteller game I doubt it would have sold as well as Vampire ".
