* yasal stone resident
Shrike invites various gods to take up residence in her yasal stone, depending on what suite of powers she finds most necessary at any point in time. The city father delegates gods of citizenry to accompany her: these spirits usually provide access to the following Charms: Hurry Home (5m, Simple, Instant: transport to anywhere in Thorns), Measure the Wind (1m, Simple, Instant: detect any ongoing wrongness in Thorns), Principle of Motion (5m 1wp: bank actions equal to WP; release them as if using an Extra Action Charm)

* major-domo
As the temporal ruler of a city in Creation, the object of veneration of a cult that looks to her for guidance, the patron of an Underworld city, and the consort of a powerful city god with his own court, Shrike has a ''lot'' of administrative twaddle to plague her, and she usually fulfils this responsibility by delegating it to others. Thorns governs itself through a system of guilds and a grand council of masters, rarely requiring her input; she can rely on input from either her own privy council, composed of high-ranking guildsmen, or from the city god himself. She relies on responsible ghosts who have sworn oaths of fealty to her to administer Spines. Her Cult, perhaps her dearest responsibility, is overseen by a chrysogona summoned from Malfeas, who plays the ambitious senior priestesses off against each other.
