  • Four Devils Ring: Stone Ping Gang: 2 Involvement: Your brief interaction with the Stone Pigs Lieutenant has made you an object of desire (and not a little jealousy) you are seen as a price to be won
  • 2 Treasure Thanks to Whispering Kick's good word, you ended up with the deed to an establishment on Rain Street. Rain Street was once the heart of the city's entertainment district, and while it's not much to look at now, who knows what it might become when the Jade Gate reopens. In your own place, you always Laugh At unfriendly uses of the Courtier's Art, and never Fear them.
• Yun Clan - White Foal Conspiracy
  • 2 Fortune A courtesan learns many secrets, whether she wishes to or not; you have learned that the leaders of the Yun Clan are not pleased by the prospect of the reopening of the Jade Gate, and have sent one of their own to Blazing Beacon to interfere.
• The Legend of Howling Skies
  • 1 Involvement In your days with Silken Storm, you vividly recall the visits of a striking (though not exactly beautiful) woman to your sifu. Though not frequent, the memories stand out because Silken Storm would always be tense and fearful before the woman's arrival (and thus especially cruel), and weak and listless afterwards - neither state being particularly in character. During the last visit before Silken Storm's ... untimely demise, you were introduced to the woman called Howling Skies; her words to your sifu during that meeting still echo in your ears: "Next time, you shall have to bring this one to our meetings."
• The Merchant Lord
  • 3 Treasure Once per chapter, the perfume may be applied to grant a +10 bonus to any roll (including Courtier's Arts) involving seduction or the use of 'feminine wiles' generally; however, the wearer suffers a -5 penalty to any roll to resist such effects! Moreover, while the bonus only applies to people she targets, anyone who smells it will be strongly drawn to her — whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage depends on the circumstances. The effect only lasts for a scene or two (Sage's discretion).

Disadvantages

• Dark Secret
• Spoiled
