Introducing
THE VOICE OF REASON
Ignorance is commonplace in this age. Reason is
weak when men are all too absorbed in their
cocks and swords. Those few who see the value
of understanding stand against a tide of
darkness. If they cannot discover the path of
wisdom and show it to those in power, blindness
will prevail and the chaos of ages past will rule
once more.

Introducing
THE PLOTTER
A kingdom is not unlike a game of cyvasse: many
pawns, but so very few players. What is done
unseen has vastly more gravity than any
mummer's farce your fellow players see on the
board. And when your secret plans at last sees
the light of day... oh how sweet the looks on
their faces will be.

Introducing
THE TAIL
There are lords and there are lords. While the
truly highborn wage their wars and stuff their
faces with delicacies, someone must do the dirty
work: help them dress, fetch the Maester, state
the obvious so the lord can dispense wisdom,
save them in battle all in hope of gaining
favour. But, in time, one does get tired of wiping
a lord's arse. And then one sees how close to
their lord one has come... and how easy betrayal
could be.
