=Society= * Dynasts accrete titles like 'Ancient Master of the Jade Monkey Gate[/i] or Princep of the Kaputa Kingdom or Slayer of the Coral Harrower the way computers accrete cookies – sometimes deliberately, often carelessly and almost every time they do anything new. Most are harmless, merely adding more lag to introductions and correspondence; some are beneficial, granting access and recording preferences; and a surprisingly large number of harmful, imposing (sometimes dangerous) duties on the hapless scion that cannot be turned down without causing great offence. * Three Mountain Folk have recently emerged from the Imperial Mountain and into the light, opening a small store in an expensive corner location in Aerulius Avenue in the Imperial City. This incredible boutique store specializes in china tea sets, plates and the like and the products are of superlative quality. The merchandise is expensive beyond the income of even most Dynasts (Resource 4 purchase to fill a Dynastic household with matching pieces). * A fad for pets has swept society - sales of cats, rats, peregrines and lizards have skyrocketed and become the No. 1 gift for parents to give their children. Portee ivory dogs, songbirds and monkeys have romantic connotations and successfully taking one as a familiar is a sign that you are a great lover. There is a growing subculture of salons held by dynasts devoted to these creatures. It is noted that Sesus Nagezzer is very, very fond of his four tiny simian companions. * Dogs, horses and austriches are considered too noble to be treated as playthings in that manner. Instead, these grand beasts are bred and sold for great sums as bodyguards, hunters and mounts, companions not allowed to go to waste. Blackstaff mastiffs are the most popular hunting dogs at the moment, while the thunderstride horses of Cynis Four-Hoof Glory Rider are peers of the elite nomadic horses used by the Lookshy legions. * The last year have seen a competition between celebrating Mnemon’s 350th nameday and the first party thrown by House V’Neef, celebrating their inception. Because the two are to occur only five weeks apart, attendance at both is impossible for anyone without sorcery or an airship. The Empress has indicated she will attend both, leaving those hoping to follow her lead scrambling for direction. V’Neef has elected for a pictorial theme – the event will occur in the woodlands and rolling hills around her newly constructed manse and it has recently been leaked that she has compacted with the Grandfather Oak of the largest forest on the Isle to serve as the event coordinator and maitre de. Mnemon has eschewed a theme, unless it is perhaps Mnemon herself, and instead has focused on letting it be known she will recall who attends and who does not. For those who get by hosting salons, it may well be a make-or-break decision. * Ragoly Aglde of the Wings Conjoined in Flames has struck down Impious Manosque Rivaldi, last of the Manosque family, for daring to summon his seneschal, Broken Wood Splutters for the Inferno, for a months service. This brutal and public slaying- the smell of burnt flesh would not leave the Lord's Crossing Eastern Plaza for days- has greatly concerned the the Immaculate Order, and they have sent their own emissaries to speak with Ragoly. * The Most Numinous Jagalza, Diefied Overseer of the Realm and Patron of Provincial Governors, has made overtures of for the Dance of Fluttering Bladed Eyes with Sesus Sereda, Seneschal of the Honorable and Humble Caretakers of the Common Folk. The pair is engaging in monthly tea ceremonies, with invitations to Sereda's manse being matched with those to Jagalza's sanctum, games of Gateway, and gift-giving sessions of mutual admiration, respect and love. This relationship is the greatest favor Jagalza has shown to a Dynast in over 500 years, and the growing respect and appreciation will grow to it's proper and assigned climax, with one party assassinating the other without feeling the slightest hesitation, guilt or hostility!
