			Changelings are artistic and emotional beings, although these traits are not made apparent by their appearances. Culturally, changelings go through phases as quickly as seasonal fashion. A community will draw lots and pick a hobby that all members participate in; it could be playwrighting, woodcarving, fencing, or whatever the lucky changeling is into that week. For several weeks to months, the community will iterate on the chosen activity until all have gotten their joy from it. From there, a new communal activity is chosen. As a result, changelings will remember time in a communal context, e.g. "The Winter We Sang Love Ballads" or "The Summer of Centaur Races".

			# Some historians believe that the changeling race was a magical accident caused by an ancient wizard, lich, or other powerful entity. This master being is theorized to have created the first changelings out of a need for spies, servants, or a perfect, enlightened race of humanoids to rule over the world.
			# A less kind theory on the origin of changelings is that they are the result of forced crossbreeding between humanoids and dopplegangers as an experiment. Whether true or no, it has attached a negative stigma to changelings in some regions, particularly Pteris. The slur "double-face" has grown out of associations to this theory, and its utterance is a fast way to make an enemy of a changeling.
