And here you are, in the Empress' Court!

Apparently the Empress doesn't like light. Or sudden movements, loud noises, foreigners, treason, peaches. When you're Empress, you can do this kind of thing.

Sidebar text.

Proceed cautiously here, among the very highest of high counselors, secretaries and hangers-on. Keeping in their favour, and the Empress', of course, is important! Here you can call in favours from other Society notables, if you wish. But, there are opportunities here for both romance and creativity!

How does one get to The Empress' Court?

You gain access to Court from using your contacts with the Duchess or other Society nobles at The Shuttered Palace. Once there, plan to spend some time because you'll need to use more connections to get back in, should you leave.
