Renaissance stone, clockwork and lightning, and a court that has ruled from behind the shutters for four hundred years. You are already compromised. Decide what it bought you.
Houses, favours, and debts that outlive the people who signed them.
Candlewharf, Ashgate, the Foundry. Gaslight where the money is, dark where it is not.
Clockwork, steam, and the new lightning — sold to anyone who can pay the interest.
