Masquerade

I
n every major city where nobles gather, great
parties are had. Some are beautiful dances
with music from across the continent. Others
are delicious feasts with courses from distant
lands. When your players enter high society,
what type of party will they find themselves
walking into?
But what would a party be without a twist? Assassinations,
heists, political intrigue... high society parties have it all.
With so many different factions vying for control of the
city, who will be the one to rise to the top? Better yet, will
they conscript your players into their service, using them
as pawns in the neverending great game? What will your

players have to deal with at their political debut?
