The Children's Contract is a ritual capable of halting the Others' attempts to steal children from a city for a year and a day.
Overview[]
A rather morally gray ritual, the Children's Contract, performed on the autumnal equinox, uses a single child as a scapegoat, heaping physical harm and mental trauma on that child. The fear that child produces is used as the ritual's fuel.
Unsurprisingly, the ritual falls under the auspice of the Autumn Court. Its most vocal proponent, one who has been traveling between freeholds to spread its use, is an Autumn courtier called Red Wren.
