The Sun Court

France, 1690s
Apollo awoke first and promptly became the court darling of Versailles and King Louis the XIV, known as the Sun King. The 17th Century is the peak of wealth and opulence in France. The Court has been summoned to the palace, far away from Paris in the countryside. Nobles, ladies, servants, and any artisan of interest have been caught in the gilded cage of Versailles.
They must ask the King for leave to return to their manors or Parisian homes. Their every day is structured according to the most recent fashions. Revelries, gambling, and excessive drink and womanizing are scheduled every week.

This is where scene summaries go for scenes where the players involved don't care about where a given scene is slotted or actively don't want their scenes constrained to time/space. These scenes are "canon" but as for when they happened? Who knows? Try not to worry about it too much.
If you change your mind and want a scene in this section slotted into the more formal timeline, feel free to do so!
