A Way Station is a neutral ground for Light Fae and Dark Fae, a place where Fae do not have to hide who they really are, and where members of both clans can find sanctuary from persecution.
Non-local, traveling Fae must declare themselves there and register their allegiance and reason for being in the territory.
Humans are not allowed in a way station unless they are owned by Fae.
The Dal Riata is the way station of the local territory, with Trick as proprietor and bartender of the tavern.
