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.

### Handwave/Vague God Time

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!

* **Assassin** was an assassin at the Masquerade who made an attempt on the king's life.

* **Emile Morneau** is a low-ranking noble's fourth son and the Rose Chamber Quintet's violoncello and viol da gamba. In his mid-twenties, he's an all around a good guy who tries very hard. But he's not at all in love with Dumont, certainly not.
* **Franz von Österreich** is an offshoot Habsburg bastard in his mid-thirties; the Austrian violinist plays a decent violin in the Rose Chamber Quintet, when he's sober. Dumont's witness in the duel with Lully. A rogue, but loyal.
* **Julie D'Aubigny** is an opera singer of reasonable renown and competent duelist.
* **Louis XIV, King of France** is the reigning King of France.
* **Madame Lemaitre** is Princess Athena's personal seamstress. She commandeers making all of Athena’s outfits just the way the Princess wants them, and though she clicks her tongue at the princess and her ability for tearing and staining, she concedes the girl knows how to use a needle.
