Plot[edit | edit source]
Players begin by creating the four main characters of the story. Chatelaine Pellier is the heir to a well established family who wants to orchestrate a marriage. Mint Charlise is a new arrival from her family estate in the mountains, where she has long been absent, who wishes to receive a marriage proposal or two. Diego Flint is a military man staying with a friend of his financially struggling family, who desires renewed wealth with a spotless reputation. Henrietta Sameday is a known meddler from a new money family who seeks forgivenes from her former friend Diego, who resents her for encouraging his fiance, her brother, Honor Sameday to embark on a dangerous expedition from which he never returned.
During Procession Day dinner at the Pellier estate, Chatelaine attempts to aid her best friend Mint by setting her up with James, who attaches himself to her for the evening. Chatelaine is then snubbed in her attempts to connect with Diego, who is visibly warmer to her twin sister Frances. Henrietta approaches her, asking for a favor. Chatelaine agrees to spread the word that she is ready to apologize to her former friend Diego, in exchange for Henrietta setting Frances up with Mortimer, who Chatelaine believes will be a good match for her.
Meanwhile, Diego is introduced to James who is very interested in his business proposition. He wants to start a mercenary company to protect industrial expansion to the eastern woods, where his fiance Honor disappeared. Mint, whose family is from this region, defends her home at the expense of souring James’ company. She instead finds companionship with Marzie, sharing a moment as they indulge in the party’s candied cherry cream puffs.
After the party, rumor is spread that Honor Sameday helped his cousin steal the Monument of Flowers and abandoned his fiance. This only exacerbates earlier rumors that Henrietta knows where her brother is, but wants him out of the way of her inheritance. Her reputation suffers after insulting Frances at the dinner, causing a falling out with her mentor Anastasia.
