Affiliations

High Court of the Eternal City, Ministry of Etiquette and Protocol (Mistress of Decorum)

Appointed to maintain the pristine social equilibrium of the Eternal City, Lady Morvane wields etiquette as an executioner wields an axe. To the high fae, breaches of decorum are not mere social blunders—they are treason against cosmic harmony. Morvane presides over tea ceremonies, galas, and court audiences with unyielding chill, determining whose reputations flourish and whose lineage is quietly cast into social exile. A single curled lip or poorly placed teaspoon under her watch has broken mercantile dynasties and silenced upstart politicians before their first vote.

Beneath her immaculate porcelain veneer, Morvane acts as the Crown's premier filter against Undercroft contamination. While she disdains the vermin in the drains and the upstart beast syndicates, she is acutely aware of the fae nobility's illicit indulgences with the Blood Baroness and back-alley contraband. Rather than root out corruption publicly—which would be shockingly unseemly—she uses social freezes, targeted ostracization, and discreet mandates to keep highborn scandals buried and the lower castes firmly locked beneath the cobblestones.
