The worst thing was that after a while they had lived their changeling lives longer than their human ones, and forgot who they were, or if it was real at all.
The "lucky" ones escaped and were taken back as true fae once they fully broke under the strain of their true nature and new lives. Or perhaps that was the point to begin with. Some of them are turned to true fae for the fun of it.
the fae can rarely reproduce on their own after all
the DM had the fae society be post magic caused apocalypse. They had conquered death, starvation, and given all of themselves the ability to warp reality according to their will. The result was a magic blasted wasteland/wonderland called Arcadia where a few held godhood and the others could barely hold onto reality. Humans are blessed with their stability in the universe where the Fae barely hold on to their senses. They live forever like this and their race would stagnate and die if not for the infusion of changelings every now and again.
