“You were born into station, but not safety.”
You are of blood — titled, masked, and trained in the ceremonies of privilege — but your family’s influence is dwindling. In a city like Vortessa, where a name can be burned and a mask shattered in a moment, your nobility grants you more enemies than protection. You walk the tightrope between courts and gutter alleys, both knowing too much and trusted too little.

Feature: Feat: Web of Influence
Though your family’s power may be frayed, the threads remain. You are familiar with the etiquette and unspoken rules of noble society and can leverage this to gain entry to restricted galas, ceremonies, or private salons.
You may:
- Secure an invitation to an exclusive event once per downtime week.
- Request minor assistance (shelter, information, introductions) from nobles, courtiers, or minor functionaries, so long as it doesn’t place them in danger or require lasting loyalty.
- Use your family crest to delay legal repercussions or demand audience with a civic official (at DM’s discretion).
