Sheesh, so much misinformation. I was hoping people would actually figure out how things are now, but since there seems to be an obstinate refusal to gather facts, here are the salient ones:

1. Faethorn is now neutral (including all fae guards, etc.).
2. Queen Maeve is currently accepting very low (or relatively low) sums to grant full pardons to Faethorn enemies. I suspect its somewhere in the 10k-15k range (depending on the influence skill of the person parleying or diplomats parleying on behalf of another). Certainly, I agree this is burdensome to the average person but not massively so.
3. Fae will accept honey cakes from everyone, whether or not they are enemies.

Hope this clears things up.
