august 2023 story prompt


Summer theater is a common tradition in many Ivratian communities. Almost every village has a stage set up somewhere near the town square, and many larger towns have their own avenues for pageants and recitals.

Every feast-day, masked actors and stagehands perform both famous plays and countryside classics, old fables, adventures of the Patrons, bawdy comedies and tear-soaked tragedies.

When imagination fails, real-world events get the stage treatment. The last few monster hunts have all been made into popular plays, and some of them depict mages in a favorable light, as do many of the old classics.

In the current political climate, this sometimes creates divided opinions.

What does your character think about it?

  1. It’s not that deep; it’s simply entertainment. Your character has earned -1 Cost. If they already have 0 Costs, you may chose to give them +1 Corruption instead.

  3. Mages may be depicted, but shouldn’t be painted as heroes. Your character has earned +1 Discipline.
  4. No matter the subject, theater is a great opportunity to cause some trouble and chaos. Your character has earned +1 Corruption.
