Unbalanced scales . . .
Talby16:
So in order to repay a favor you have to act in accordance with the debt-holder's wishes. If the debt-holder dies and the debt is not able to be passed along his/her bloodlines it might be possible for Mab to clear her debt by acting in accordance with the debt-holder's perceived wishes (governed by the same internal rules that apply to all Fae). For example, maybe Mab could pay a wergild to a charity supported by the debt-holder.
Arjan:
You should just mention fairy debts in your testament.
Kindler:
God, imagine what someone like Marcone could do if he decides to go into the Faerie mortgage business and begins purchasing everyone's debts. Suddenly, instead of Mab owing ten thousand favors to ten thousand people, she owes ten thousand favors' worth of obligation to one man.
Are the Fae the only ones subject to this? Would, say, Hades be compelled to repay a debt?
wardenferry419:
Even the RPG doesn't have an explanation for transference of debts after debt.

I don't know if Hades would be compelled to fulfill a debt in the same way the Fae are since it is intrinsic to their nature. However, the "old world" seems to be built on courtesy, host rights, debts/obligations. Although Hades may not be compelled by nature, it would be very bad form to not honor a debt. I see the rest of society turning on him if that were to happen.
