Or they could be trying to win over the formula purveyor, guaranteeing they get first pick over anything new that comes from them. Questions to consider: Who is behind the formulas? What do they specialize in? What is the formula for, and why does the House care? Do they want it for themselves, or do they simply not want the other faction to have it? What might they do with the formula, or new purveyor?

They shouldn’t be hard to win over, they likely share similar principles. Questions to consider: Which Minor House are they trying to ally with? What is the benefit they will receive from this alliance? What is the Minor House getting out of the deal? Who stands to lose, should the alliance be cemented?

The Day of Clasped Hands: Marriage is an expensive undertaking in Ilrienne, unless you partake in the mass marriages of Ilrienne’s Day of Clasped Hands. Graces preside over this day of love and candles light the windows of newly-weds. Candles still flickering by morning are counted as proof of a blessed marriage. The Sailor’s Secret: Any who ply the waves and brave the storms are sure to gather for a solemn holiday to honor the Lady as the Mistress of the Waves. Buckets of sea-water are drawn up from the harbor and each sailor in turn whispers a secret into the depths of the bucket before casting it back into the harbor. The Lady keeps their secrets as their bond of faithful worship.
302 Calling Down the Moon: At dusk across the city on the eve of the first Full Moon of the year, groups gather to sing the old songs that draw the currents of prosperity, fair winds, and fair bargains. All revelers bring gifts to exchange, tokens of prosperity. If you call for luck, do it with hands full of gifts. The Day of Sheath and Sword: It is said the Lady only spends one night per year with her consort. On this day a great fertility festival is held. Graces bless the bellies of all who wish with fig branches and pomegranate wine. Rabbit is served in the home of any hopeful woman. The Roses of the Silk and all of the other lift-skirts serve pig and perform bawdy dramas for patrons until the morning hours. The Race of Antlers: Eligible bachelors from among the noble families are crowned in wreaths of horns and set to running across the city. Anyone catching them is entitled to a proposal of marriage. Many bachelors are then ransomed, bought back by their noble families. summer The Gondola Regatta: Escaping the heat of summer, sleek gondolas race through the canals by night, lit by oiled lanterns. Neighborhoods sponsor the boats, and the crowd’s enthusiasm often borders upon riot. The Decanting: The Arborists decant the newest vintages from the Arbor, and chits for free flagons are distributed to every citizen of the city. A brisk black-market trade in false chits becomes a cottage industry in the Groan. The Procession of the Graces: The Graces stage a procession from the Lady’s Own to the Shore, carrying an offering to be thrown into the depths of the harbor. Crowds part, but no one lets their eyes settle on the offertory. To do so risks the Lady’s displeasure. Night of Silk and Roses: A night dedicated to the thrill of romance, the floating markets of the Silk play host to shifting revels and fire lit entertainment as hopeful would-be couples dance from boat to boat and party to party. The Festival of Eels: A floating holiday taking place in late summer, when eels pass through the canals on the way to their spawning ground. Revelers take to the canals with games and food, eel is cooked and put into even the most unlikely dishes. All citizens may catch as many eels as they can with their hands. Traps and nets are forbidden to ensure enough make it through the canals to return in future years; offense is punishable by public flogging (with eels).
303 The Week of Pearls: For an entire week, in the hottest part of the year, the Scholam Naturalis sponsors a weeklong festival of pearl diving in the shallow waters off of the coast. It offers a pleasant distraction from the unseemly weather, and those who find the most pearls are offered a scholarship to the Scholam. Summer riots have decreased by 80% since its inception. fall The Day of Justice: Regardless of social status, anyone may demand satisfaction and justice at the point of a sword on this day. The Spindle is cleared to allow plenty of room for the clashing of blades. Cowards typically spend the day in doors, permitting no visitors. The Feast of the First Prince: As the harvests are brought in and taxes rendered to the Prince, a portion is set aside to lay on a grand feast for the needy. This honoring of bond between prince and subjects is mirrored in the homes of those of means. Families enjoy the fruits of a year’s toil, and plan always to do better next year. The Brass Harvest: Officially Recoupment Day, among the debtors to the Bank of Brass and Bone, the colloquial is preferred. Accounts due have their interest compounded at the end of this day, and so the race is on to pay down as much principle as possible before the clerks note the total for recoupment. -Those not in debt use this day to hunt for bargains as debtors liquidate their goods. The Day of Founding: The Prince and his attendants reenact the founding of Ilrien, as set down in the age of Taliesen of Beryl. Half morality play, half historical holiday, this civic festival is as good an excuse as any to take in street-theatre performed by the silk-swaddled nobles. The First Loaves: The Bakers’ Guild bakes the first of the harvest into loaves distributed freely to the populace. Hidden within six of these loaves is a fiore minted in solid gold rather than the usual silver. When returned to the Guild, the golden fiore entitles the bearer to a daily loaf free of charge until the next year. It’s not uncommon for the gold to be kept instead, though somewhat rarer among native Ilrienne. The Firelight Stride: One part autumn cleaning, one-part good luck entreaty, and one part pyromania, the citizens of Ilrien build communal bonfires in the center of their neighborhood and burn things that they no longer need. Revelers jump the blazes, hoping for good luck through the coming colder months.
304 winter The Emperor’s Review: In the time of the Dread Empire, The Emperor would dispatch a hidden agent in disguise to check upon the affairs of Ilrien. In his beneficence, he would at least inform the Ilrienne of the day of the agent’s arrival. To this day, the Emperor’s Review is a day of charity and hospitality. You never know who you might be hosting, after all. The Longest Night: On the Longest Night of the year, citizens of Ilrien gather their families close to the fire and hold vigil. Old stories are told and bargains are remembered. The Patron’s Hunt: Contracts between artists and patrons traditionally end on the last day of the year. And so, Ilrien becomes a carnival of artists and performers seeking new patrons. Painters, actors, comedians, bladesmen, tumblers, and fire-eaters line the street displaying their skills as prospective patrons carefully consider them. Spirit’s Day: In the early dawn hours after Spirit’s Eve, the Ilrienne release floating lanterns off of the coast to light their loved ones’ paths back home. The Lord’s Walk: A ritual cleansing of the city of “mischief and deviltry.” During the day, a young noble dons the costume of the Lord, and with a band of raucous retainers, whips those who fail to evade his procession as it makes its way through the city. By night, the streets are deserted and the city holds its breath until morning, perhaps waiting for the Lord’s total lack of humor. The Bone Fire: A canton of the city is given the responsibility to reawaken the earth and foster the reemergence of life in the world. They do this by constructing a massive fire in the Ribelle foothills, visible from the walls of the city. Into this they pile the bones of slaughtered animals collected from local butchers, an offering of life for life.
Chapter Eight Changing the Game
306 Special Permission Playbooks On the following pages you’ll find the Kiss and the Curse. These are not entirely human characters. They do not experience the social vagaries of Court of Blades quite like their mortal counterparts. When the stress of Ilrien becomes too much to bear for them, it is not their reputation that suffers. They do not gain a scandal when they fill their stress track. Instead, they mark shatter. This represents the slow spiral of their humanity giving way to utter monstrousness. When they mark their fourth shatter, they transcend mortality. They may be forced to sleep and regenerate, or otherwise stay in Ilrien, but their purposes no longer align with those of the House or coterie and they retire to pursue their own dark designs. Shatter Conditions • Detached: You have trouble understanding the motives of others, their petty concerns. Oh, how they weary you. • Uncanny: Something about the way you move, speak, look strikes others as fundamentally wrong. • Vengeful: You never forget a slight and always seek to balance the scales. • Insatiable: Mortal pleasures no longer satisfy and you are constantly left wanting more. • Morose: Yours is a sorrow transcending the ages and you wear it like a mourner’s veil. • Destructive: Everything is fleeting and in breaking, you only hasten the inevitable. • Obsessed: You are single-mindedly devoted to someone, something, or a cause. You have trouble focusing on anything else. • Territorial: What’s yours is yours to keep. You will not let them have it.
