Desire

Restore your reputation and be

forgiven by your former friend.

Once you enjoyed the pleasures of

friendly company and good opinion.
Until, in a single instant, your mad
passions led you to throw it all away.
In one rash act you wronged
another deeply and plunged yourself
into interminable disrepute.

Now all you seek is to bury your

past, regain your good name,
and find forgiveness.

Create and spread a rumour

about what you did. Start with
one extra negative reputation tag
and one extra resolve token.

Desire

Convince your parent to accept

you as their legitimate child,
and declare your relation to
all the world.

Though biology dictates that a child

requires two parents, you have never
beheld evidence of more than one.

Born out of wedlock, your wealthier

and more powerful progenitor
refused to acknowledge you
from an early age.

Now the time has come for a

family reunion. And, be it by charm,
favours or less savoury means,
you will find a way to have them
acknowledge you as
their own progeny.

Marry one and discreetly

farewell the other.

People in this world are so

unreliable. Even the most faithful
of affections are quickly cast aside
when a wealthier target comes into
view. You have realised the folly of
putting your hopes in but one place.

The careful hunter checks all their

snares—and only the finest morsel
is cooked and eaten for dinner.

Take revenge on your rival for

There’s but one thing you’ve loved

it would be yours.

Until your enemy intervened, and

your chance at it withered like a
rose in the winter time. You’ve been

of revenge. Now, it’s finally here,
and you couldn’t be more ready.

Work with the player of your

You’ve always had a taste

expensive clothing, or the race track.

Now your debts are severe, and

the time to pay is approaching.
You need money fast. You can’t let
anyone know your true situation
however, as your good opinion and
the help you receive from others

You have to find a way to fix this

Desire

Disinherit your elder sibling.

Fie be the tradition that the first

born inherits all, and the younger
siblings are left without a penny.

Your elder sibling is nothing but

a fool, who would soon lead the
estate to ruin. You must convince
your parents to cut them out of
the will, and name you as sole heir.

You just need one scandal, betrayal,

or ill-advised relationship to change
their mind. After all, they’ve
always liked you better.

Orchestrate at least one

Love is a beautiful and tender thing,

and an advantageous marriage is
a financial and practical triumph.
Of course, you see neither of these
things in your immediate future,
but that doesn’t mean you cannot
involve yourself in their delights.
There are so many people in your
circles eminently suitable for
each other. It is your pleasure—no,

After the first novel chapter,

decide on two potential couples
and share these with the Facilitator.
Your desire is to see one or

Restore your family name, and

Ten years ago, a huge scandal

erupted that sent ripples of shame

Your family were the ones to blame.
They fled from the area, leaving the
ancestral home empty.

Now you’re back to restore your

family’s reputation, and resume your

Bolster your love interest’s

your parent’s permission
to marry them.

In an ideal world, one is not

dependent on the permission of one’s
parents to pursue their deepest
and most ardent affections.

But sadly this is not an ideal world,

and if you want to wed without
losing that sweet inheritance,
you’ll need permission from mummy
and daddy. And of course, pleasing
them means choosing a spouse with
a completely impeccable reputation.
In today’s world of endless gossip,
this is no easy task.

Enter into a marriage with

without revealing your

You always thought yours was to be

a humble lot in life for one born of
the gentry. In fact, you liked it
that way—free from the constraints
of rank and social expectation.

However, recently an unexpected

inheritance has bestowed a vast
fortune upon you. Your wealth is
not yet known. But when word gets
out, you will be plagued with false
fortune seekers with but one motive.

Before word spreads, you must find

someone to marry who loves you for
who you are, not your money.

Protect your younger sibling

Ever since your parents passed away,

the world has been a cold, harsh place
for you and your younger sibling.
Fortunately, your parents left you,
the eldest, with a generous income.
But you have no guide on how to
avoid the immoral and ill-meaning.

Your younger sibling is naive,

innocent, vulnerable. It is therefore
your job to decide who they should
marry, and arrange the match.

After the first novel chapter,

decide who your younger sibling
should marry—and protect them
from all other advances.

Appear to court your intended,

while becoming secretly engaged

To live on less than £300 a year

is frankly impossible. And yet, you
cannot bring yourself to be one of
those pathetic creatures who marries
for money. Your aunt has told
you she will pass to you her vast
inheritance—if you agree to marry
the person she has chosen.

Fortunately, she has not long left.

You must make her think you are
following her plan, and secure your
inheritance while secretly becoming
engaged to the person you really love.

while you were coldly overlooked.
You suffered as the things you prized

The irresponsible actions of your

spendthrift family have left you all
in dire financial straits. And you are

refused to sell the family estate; instead
he arranged your engagement to
some insufferable rich person.

You must act before you find yourself

married. Sort out your family’s

selling the estate or marrying off a
more willing sibling—then call off
the engagement post-haste.

You fell desperately in love, and

Now it’s three years later, and the

love that overcame your fiancé seems
to be rapidly fading. This cannot be!
The wedding must go ahead! Not only
because of your feelings—but also a
much more important reason—
your fiancé is your only chance for

Your uncle has recently turned his

As he has no children of his own,
his substantial inheritance can fall
to only one of two parties. Yourself,
or your infuriatingly perfect cousin.

This wealth will elevate you from

among the poorest of your peers to

you did. It was a decision you have
regretted every day since.

Now you find them once again

Then you met your patron.

For reasons that remain their own,

they have agreed to gift you such
