Il était une fois... as we proceed through the historical dives in the first Dark Eras volume, we arrive at the next one for Changeling: the Lost—and the first one that is only for that game, though certainly no one could object if an enterprising Storyteller felt like squeezing in a random Promethean. In this installment, Lily, Sabre & Thorn, we're headed to 17th-century France and the court of Louis XIV, the "Sun King". Versailles drips with opulence as Paris swells with the unwashed masses; the Lost creep among both, leading lives as swashbuckling as they can manage. It's a time for musketeers and grand intrigues, highwaymen and masquerades, all through the thorn-edged lens of absolute monarchy and the beginnings of modernity. What's not to love? (Well, plenty, beginning with hygiene and inequality, but at least the write-up here is fairly decent.) Join us as we romp through the gardens, all for one and one for croissants.
Pooka G(any pronoun/they) enjoyed visiting Versailles, but thought it could use a few band posters on the walls and maybe some ficus.
Amelia Fetch (she/her) occasionally plays a musketeer Lost character who specializes in the Contracts of Nougat.
Et c’est une folie, à nulle autre, seconde,
De vouloir se mêler de corriger le monde.
(Of all follies, there is none greater / than wanting to make the world a better place.)—Molière, The Misanthrope
