The Escheat is the compendium of faerie traditions and laws that are not backed up by the Wyrd, but instead by all faeries in remembrance of Arcadia. The Escheat was formed a short time after the Sundering by faeries who wanted to ensure the survival of the species on the face of change. Seelie and Unseelie respect and enforce the Escheat, although they might have different interpretations to the various rights.
