According to Meryl in SK changelings are under the control of the Court of their fey parent until they choose to become pure mortals. This would mean that if tried by the WC and proved to be a changeling they should have the backing of the appropriate court and might therefore be ruled not under WC jurisdiction however this could also label them as non-human putting them outside its protection as well making them fair game to be killed by any means if they are a threat to the human population. Being a Changeling should not provide license to get around the 7 laws if it endangers the humans that the WC protects anything else would be an internal matter of the fey subject to the appropriate court. Also if the magic is sponsored it is subject to shutdown by the sponsor if the caster breaks any rules set by them.

Where do you get that from?
Or are you talking about situation like Harry had with Bianca? An war declaration after the fact?

Are we talking about the same White Council, if Harry didnt got lured into starting the war, the WC would have no problem with Red Vamp. eating humans (as long as they do it discreetly).

That goes without saying, but I think someone like Mab or Titania would have other rules than those of the WC...

But thanks for the Meryl quote, I'll go from there:
As long as the Changeling didnt choose pure Mortal they are under the jurisdiction of the Fairies. If they break an Law of Magic they get the Lawbreaker "Power" and have to pay in Refresh.

This makes me want to play a Changeling cramming for the White council exams to have protection from Mab or some other scary fae.

When Harry (click to show/hide) joins the wardens Lucio tells him that his duties are the same as what he has been doing all along just in a Grey cloak. The point of the 7 laws is to protect humanity from magic. Vamps who feed on humans open themselves up to retribution from the mortal community. The wolf feeds on the deer but can't sue if a buck kicks him in the head. The war started because Harry violated the terms of the Accords by breaking the rules of hospitality in Bianca's home.

To Quote the WC Wikipedia entry
"They primarily protect humanity from abuses of magic, but also shield this world from the Sidhe and other creatures that wish humanity harm."

So any changeling causing widespread harm to humans in general or attacks on WC members would be classified as a monstrous threat and/or a declaration of war by the Sidhe court responsible for them.

I think we arent really disagreeing.

A Changeling on an murder spree or something similiar would be hunted down.
But if its something subtle/small scale. Where a human would be killed to be on the safe side, a Changeling would get free.

Otherwise the WC would have to declare war at least on all Vampire Courts.
