welcome to il desiderio
The Treaty of England was signed just one year ago, marking what is to be a period of peace between the war worn nations of France and England. However, new conflicts arise from within the very walls of court. Threats of religious instability likewise pour in from Germany, where the heretic Luther is quickly gaining support from the German princes. With no male heir to succeed the King, the throne is vulnerable to usurpers--foreign and English alike. One cannot tell friend from foe, lover from adulterer, saviour from deceiver. In such a treacherous time, one cannot help but question just how far one is willing to go to achieve ones ambitions. Dare thee enter the decadent court of desire?

• the seymour affair.
There was a tradition long ago, when the Capet's were still the ruling family, that a grand ball would be thrown for all friends at the eve of their family gathering. It is this tradition that Nicholas Seymour has so recklessly tried to revive, to remind people of the line from which he came. Nonetheless, it is the most talked about event of the season, and to miss it would simply be inexcusable.
THIS BOARD WILL BE OPEN INDEFINITELY.
