## Profile

This cheerful and friendly red-head is one of the two lady’s maids you have been assigned for your stay during the Isle.

She views her fellow Isle servants as her family and is a little in awe of you, but still very good at her job. A few kind words and you might earn more than her loyalty, but her adoration.

### Week 3

#### Before the matchmaker's final interview

If Ria is infatuated with the MC she will run after her and wish her luck in the interview, professing that she believes everyone in the castle must be in love with her. The MC can accept her romance, accept her friendship or reject her altogether.

If the romance is accepted Ria will speak to the MC about it after the interview.

Week 5

**NOTICE: Events past the theatrical are not included in the Extended Demo, and are covered by the pre-Early Access spoiler policy!**

 Week five has been nicknamed by Aly 'angst week'.

Note that Penelope's invitation, Cordelia's invitation, and the rehearsal scene do not take up time slots. Most of week five is self-directed.

## 1st Day Sunday

MC receives invitations from Penelope and Cordelia.

Jaslen and Falon divide roles for the theatrical.

## 3rd Day Waterday

Waterday morning is Penelope's event, followed by a meeting with Lisle, provided his relationship is high enough. Unethical MCs will get a brotherly warning.

## 6th Day Fireday

Fireday night is the set accident. Romance route MCs will have a scene with their LI (Lisle not included). Note that it's possible to get a non-standard game over **even in story mode** if you select the option "freeze in place" during the set accident scene.

## 7th Day Starday

The theatrical takes place in the morning.
A Dangerous Secret

**A Dangerous Secret** is an achievement for discovering who was behind the "accident" during the horse ride. It is pre-requisite for the achievement "Miracle Worker" during the week 4 trial.

## Week 2

### Sunday

During the invitation phase of the morning, you receive one of three versions of the same note with unfamiliar writing (see Letters). Choose to share the letter with Jasper and ask for his help.

### Waterday

On Waterday night you optionally have an event with Avalie, where, if you have > 170 interpersonal insight, you can learn more about the threat. This event is *not* required for the achievement.

### Any day prior to Windday

Visit the forbidden wing and pass a check agains > 125 quick wits to gain information and +5 Secrets.

### Starday

If you gained the necessary secret you will have an option to say that you suspect who your hidden enemy might be. This is not required, but good to check that you're on track.

## Week 3

### Earthday

If you did everything right, then after the matchmaker's interview Jasper will speak to you in your room and warn you not to do anything rash.
Kade Script

Needs more edits. **Beware of Spoilers!!**

Get Kade to +4\*\*\*

* "You killed the servant" +1
* **All Other Answers - Instant Fail**
 "Did I? And why would I do that?"
* "Because he attempted to kill me first." (only if you uncovered Gisette's plot in week 2) +1
* **All Other Answers - Instant Fail**
 "And why would I care about that?"
* Because you have fallen in love with me. **Instant Fail**

* "I think you were trying to get justice..." +0
* "I think you were amused..." +1.5
* +6.5
* +0
 "So tell me, how did I do it?" - **Needs more testing. I can get him confessing without picking a theory.*** You killed + He attempted to kill me + I don't know you/I think you believe the isle = skip picking theories/confession (can confirm this)
* You killed + He attempted to kill me + I don't know you/I think you were amused **+3** correct theories = confession
* You killed + He attempted to kill me + any other non-instant fail "why would I care" answer + 4 correct theories = confession.
* If the "I think you believe the Isle..." option is chosen then you can add all non-instant fail wrong theories without failing.
* If the "I think you were amused..." option is chosen you can add 1 wrong theory if you pick all 4 correct theories.
* Not choosing either option requires all 4 correct theories + no wrong theories. I've added point values that hopefully reflect that.)Some answers seem to have more "value/points" than others.)
* "You used a rose thorn" **+0.5**
* "You strangled him with a rope" I**nstant Fail**
* "A horse is missing. You are the cause" **+0.5**

* -1.5
* +0.5
 * "One question then. One truth."
* "I know somehow the murders are connected..." **(Then search staff quarters to find the murder weapon)**
* while knowing the true cause of death

The Other Murder - Kade Theory Picking

* Kade killed the servant
* Because he attempted to kill the MC first
* Anything other than in love with the MC
* Choose rose thorn, missing horse, framing Gisette, staging an accident, (you can also say he made the sister leave and hid the body but I don’t know how that affects things) and then
* Say those are the only theories you have
* -> Don't choose "drowned" or "rope". He will end the discussion with: "You have disappointed me"
* ->Don't choose "paid somebody" with most other combinations of theories.
* The MC doesn't need to pick one of the theories to make him confess. Just pick "Those are the only theories you have". The MCs need to know certain things/secrets and need to be able to connect right.
Midnight Picnic

You can invite up to 10 people to a midnight picnic.

#### Invitation

While inviting Clarmont can help you pass the persuasion check, it will in turn make it impossible for the mc to achieve perfect success even if they have the potential to do so. Therefore, it is wiser to not invite him if the mc has high persuasion skills.

#### After Invitation

NEED EXACT VALUES.

Interpersonal insight check for greeting.

Food check and check on hot drinks.

Entertainment check (kites or lanterns or both).

Persuasion check on herding drunk cats (see also: Master Jorges in his dressing gown).
Aamir

**Aamir** is the eldest Prince of Corval and a delegate in the previous Summit. He does not appear in person in the game, and as such, doesn't have a sprite.

## Personality

According to Court Lady, Aamir is "Ambitious, cruel, and determined to further Corval's power, and his own, no matter the cost."

## Trivia

1. His name was mentioned from Zarad's POV

## Reference

1. ↑ He doesn’t enjoy making people suffer. I think ruthless would be a better descriptor?

Girl To Bring Home

## Information

Girl to Bring Home is one of 5 (non-result based) achievements you can get during your second Matchmaker interview. It’s for getting really high approval with the various factions.

Ways to incur approval from external factions include mainly succeeding at public challenges, like the introduction speech and the boat race, as well as throwing successful events. Merchant approval can be raised by any opportunity to spend money. Rebel approval can be raised by invoking Katyia's legacy or being kind to servants. The second question in the Character Creator determines initial approval from one faction that is not your country of origin.

Hamin/Boat race

If you have moderately high friendship or romance with Hamin, he will invite you to be part of his team for the boat race. However, if you have vea ry high romance, you can invite him to join your team and he will agree. It's important to note that for all MCs except the pirate's daughter, successfully recruiting Hamin is the only way to win the race and unlock the achievement **A Victory of Leadership**.

## Welcome Feast

Hamin's agreement hinges on choosing exactly the right dialogue options during the Welcome Feast. These options increase his romance to the maximum possible at this point in the game. Succeeding in his week 1 date or inviting him to a perfect event increases friendship and respect, but not romance.

Serving Girl

**Serving girl** is a non-Vail Isle native maid.

## Profile

She is seen several times but the MC doesn't talk to her for very long. She is sometimes shown as a shadow only.

* Imogen

## Plot

### Week 1

MC had accidentally knocked over the serving girl during Clarmont's week one date. She would notice the love letter that was written by a delegate for the maid. This was a test by Clarmont. Depending on how you treat the maid and read the letter will determine if your date is successful.

### Week 3

Prior to Sayra's arrival, she was harassed by Drunk Delegate, Sir Harold The MC has the option to stand up for her. Eventually, Jasper comes in to handle the situation...
Extended Demo

The **Extended Demo** was announced in January 2017 as a temporary perk for pre-early access players who had not been part of the alpha testing. The extended demo wasn't supposed to be time limited, but as of 2021 the entire forums seem to be gone.

* As of 2022 the game is still in progress.
* Updates

## Content

The extended demo continues past the end of week three, where the original demo ends. It includes week four and most of week five. It also includes bug fixes, new features, new backgrounds and CGs.

* **New** Extended demo/ Mac / Windows
* The extended demo links were posted in the newer forums (Broken links?)

Boat race

At the end of week two, the MC participates in a **boat race**. You can choose to be captain, and put together a team of four other delegates . You may also be invited to join the team of either Hamin or Anaele, if your relationship with them is high enough.

There are only two end conditions for the bat race, win or lose. Winning gains a great deal of Hise approval, and may gain one tick of approval from the nation of each of your team members. The boat race is associated with three achievements.

## Joining a team

If you join Hamin's team you will likely win, because the team is comprised of all experienced sailors, other than the MC. You can still win if you join Ana. Sailing with someone else as captain gives three skill checks against leadership, quick wits and likability.

The leadership check is 50 for assisting both Hamin and Ana, and the quick wits check is 125. There is only one level of likeability success to assist Hamin (125 likeability), but there are two levels of success to assist Ana (125 and 175 likeability.)

If you are on Hamin's team, your team should win as long as you can pass at least one of the checks. The requirements are slightly higher if you want to win on Ana's team.

## Making a winning team

It is significantly easier to win when playing as Hise MC, but winning is possible as any background.

If you are not from Hise yourself, you will only be able to win the race if you have both Hamin and Cordelia on your team. If you are from Hise yourself, you can win as long as you have one other person on your team who gives you a bonus at the end (which can be Hamin, Cordelia, or Ana).

For the leadership requirement, an MC with at least 75 leadership can pass herself. If you are not from Hise, having Hamin lead is the only way to win if you cannot pass the check yourself. If you are from Hise, you can also win with Ana leading.

For the quick wits requirement, you must have at least 175 Quick Wits or have Lyon or Avalie onboard.

Boosting morale requires at least 200 Likeability to do yourself. Penelope is the only team member who can handle boosting morale if you are not playing as Hise MC. If you are playing as Hise MC, you can also win with Emmett boosting morale. However, recruiting Penelope will net a big boost to weaver approval (if you win).

Hamin will only agree to join your team if you have gotten the maximum possible amount of romance with him thus far.

## Stats

Opens on selecting intelligence in the background opening.

+35 intelligence, +35 academics, +25 history.

50 gold.

## Past

She tells Clarmont a story about the time when she first learned how to read, and discusses her preparations for the summit with Zarad, on their respective week 1 dates.

On Zarad's week 3 date, he tells a story about her helping to defeat an Onvu champion by making a clever suggestion, as a small child.

## Relationships

### General Falon

Jiyel MC has never met him before the summit. At the welcome feast she states that she isn't certain how she feels now that that is inevitably about to change. She notes that the General has a reputation for being fierce, determined and capable.

### Jasper

Jiyel!MC gets sick really early on, and her symptoms are subtle and easily could be interpreted as stress. So while Jasper gets a feeling something is going on, but no, he doesn’t even guess at what really is happening.

### Jiya

Jiya is the MC's cousin, who was originally meant to be a delegate, having passed the entrance exams. Her sudden marriage leads to her being replaced with a (possibly reluctant) MC.

Arrogant v Humble

This personality traits governs how well the MC thinks of herself and her abilities. A perfectly balanced score usually defaults to the arrogant side of the scale.

There does not appear to be an arrogant/humble personality question on the character creator.

Gain Arrogant:

* On Hamin's date: Of course I am deserving of presents.
* Before the second matchmaker interview: Ha! I am so amazing.
Blain's Letter

**To my incompetent rival,**

I just wanted to make it clear on no uncertain therms that whatever villainous spell you have cast on the fair

princess Anaele will not long work.

Soon, I will have secured her heart, and you will have been sent back home in shame.

I suggest you stop embarrassing yourself further and instead of believing any empty flattery she may have given you last night instead stay far away from her, Preferably downwind so we neither of us are forced to endure your stench.

*Never yours,*

Ambition

**Ambitions** are declared at the end of week 1, during the introduction  challenge. Some ambitions will earn the approval of your own (or other) nations, or will earn friendship or respect points from certain delegates.

It is possible to declare a public and private ambition, if they are different. This requires lying to the whole summit, and if you get caught at it people won't be thrilled with you.

## Love

Falling in love. Does not necessarily involve marriage. Publicly choosing this will earn respect from Cordelia, but rivalry from Gisette.

## Personal advancement

End up with more power and wealth than you had before. Several of the more ethical delegates will gain rivalry points if you publicly declare this to be your ambition.

## Serve your country

Requires solving your nation's particular dilemma. You will get extra approval from your nation for this. Arland is impressed with your dutifulness, Hise slightly less so. On average the nations gain ++ approval for this ambition. It can also be chosen with a different private ambition, with no penalty.

## Alliance

Creating (or strengthening) an alliance for your nation. Does not necessarily require your own marriage. Increases nation approval by +. Lisle, Zarad or Gisette may gain points in respect or friendship, for the MC of the relevant nation.

## Witness history

Non-intervention. This ambition is still mysterious, but may be tied to the Historian faction and secret background.

## Create history

Leave your mark on the future. Gives + weaver approval. May also increase Woodly romance, which is tracked invisibly.

## Katyia's Legacy

World Peace, and possibly a swimsuit pageant. See Katyia's Legacy for details.
Secrets

## Information

Secrets are a valuable commodity in a place like the Summit.

While exploring, you can stumble across secrets. Secrets generally require a certain skill level to successfully acquire. Finding secrets can help you uncover some of the biggest mysteries and conspiracies of the game. Sometimes secrets are so big, it requires discovering many little pieces of the secret before you uncover the whole secret. The only way to increase your knowledge of secrets skill is to explore and successfully uncover them. Discovered secrets may eventually influence the outcome of your game, including potential endings, and giving you the power to influence or even blackmail the people whose secrets you uncover.

Gifts

> "Your desk is so overflowing with presents that Jasper is giving it the same worried look as he rearranges them that he normally gives you when he's afraid you are going to commit some faux pas."
>
>

At the beginning of week 3 gifts are exchanged before the matchmaker's breakfast. The MC may give and receive gifts from delegates, and may also receive additional gifts depending on their other relationship and approval scores.

## Giving

See: Gift Giving Guide

 Any gift which costs money increases merchant approval by a small amount. Spending money isn't always the best gift though.

The best gift gives ++ to both friendship and respect. Second-best gifts, of which there is usually one or two, give +, neutral gifts don't change relationships, and bad gifts give rivalry points.

## Receiving

#### Romance

* Anaele - letter opener, +5 to self-defense and warfare
* Clarmont - calming tea, +5 to poise and people
* Emmett - flower satchel, +5 to charm and flora and fauna knowledge
* Gisette - perfume, +5 to charisma and people
* Hamin - +5 to street smarts and cunning
* Jarrod - choker, +5 to courage and warfare
* Lyon - history book, +5 to intelligence and academics
* Woodly - ring, +5 to beauty and people
* Zarad - flower, +5 to charisma and people

#### Friendship

* Cordelia - painted fan, +5 to charm and etiquette
* Jasper - +5 each to eloquence, courage and grace (dependent on relationship)
* Penelope - chocolates, +5 to charm and flora and fauna knowledge
* Ria and Sayra - cosmetics, +5 to beauty and practical skills

#### Respect

* Avalie - Onvu board, +5 to intelligence and cunning (Avalie's gift is quite difficult to earn)

#### Approval

* Yvette (historians) +10 history shockingly enough
* Mrs. White (rebels) +5 courage, practical knowledge
* Anonymous (weavers) +5 manipulation, politics

Side note

If you made a mistake during an attempt to befriend prince Jarrod, it is possible to avoid him lashing out at you by either not sending him the hunting gloves or sending him the "worst" present as it would prevent the romance stats from increasing. This choice however would merely lock the confession scene, making it so that his romance point remain. As of now future consequences in week 6 and 7 remain unseen.
Character Creator

The character creator is a questionnaire that appears early in the game and helps determine your MC's initial stats. Questions and answers in the CC are mostly pretty intuitive in their effect. See also: character guide

## Skills

The MC starts out with base stats of +25 points in the following skills: charm, eloquence, beauty, leadership, charisma, courage, intelligence, etiquette, grace and poise.

The questionnaire provides six +25 skill boosts, a -15 skill hit, and a -10 skill hit. Before accounting for background selection, every MC starts with 375 skill points in some distribution. Some skills can be raised to 100 points even before background selection, such as intelligence. Manipulation is a skill that can only be raised in large amounts in the CC, as it cannot be studied during the summit.

Summary of skills that can be changed in the CC:

## Knowledge

There are three opportunities to raise knowledge stats by +25 points. Two questions focus on formal education, and one on informal self-taught knowledge. Knowledge is raised by a total of 75 points and receives no hits.

## Personality

Personality questions prior to background selection alter the stats for Indifferent v Compassionate, Cynical v Romantic, Overt v Subtle, Autonomous v Dependent, Unassuming v Ambitious and Selfish v Noble.

## Approval

Picking a background raises your nation's approval significantly. There is also one question that allows you to raise the approval of commoners, artists, merchants or Arland (regardless of your country of origin).

## Background

There are six backgrounds, plus three hidden backgrounds.

### Arland

* Arland approval.
* Minimum 50 points in Etiquette.
* No boosts to skills: self defense, manipulation, courage and cunning.
* No boosts to knowledge: warfare, street smarts (?).
* Personality: dependent.
* Personality is **not**: ambitious, cynical or overt.

#### Notes

It's possible to choose the cunning option on the final question at the expense of grace or poise, but not the previous one at the expense of leadership. This does make playing the SP more difficult, rather than less.

### Wellin

* No less than 30 courage.
* At least +25 boost to self defense.
* +25 boost to warfare knowledge in the first knowledge selection question.
* Autonomous personality.
Ana's POV

Ana's POV unlocks upon choosing her at the end of Week 3. It was included in the final version of the full demo.

## The Welcome Feast

         She was bored. Worse than bored. She was trapped in a big, fluffy-poofy room with no defensible structure with an idiot going bzzzzt in her ears. She had to clench her fingers from to keep them from grabbing for the weapon she was missing. It felt like she had been forced to turn over a hand and everyone was just pretending a room full of buzzing one-handed people was normal. Everywhere she looked everyone was all happy, happy. Perhaps the point of the Summit was just to torture people into submission. By the end, you would agree to anything, just to be free again.

         Ana scanned the room, trying to catalogue every thing that could be used as a makeshift weapon if necessary. She counted sharp heels and small forks. She counted chairs that could be potentially broken into sharp edges. And then, in her search, Ana found another kind of weapon entirely. Ana saw her.

         Her eyes were bright and full of life and there was just something about her. Ana knew she was interesting. Certainly more interesting than anything else in the room. Ignoring the bzzing pretty man, Ana strode towards her, feeling cheerful for the first time since she had been forced to hand over her weapons. All seven of them.

Jaslen

*“Oh! Do you see that? Someone's crying! Oh, I must find out why. Ta, darling.”*

—Jaslen

**Jaslen** is a Chaperone from *Corval*. See Jaslen Script

## Profile

This age-defying beauty from Corval serves as one of the four Chaperones. She seems more interested in gossip and fashion than diplomacy, however.

## Appearance

Expensively dressed and elaborately coiffed, Princess Jaslen might pass as a girl half her age. She is covered in expensive, spicy perfume and has drawn thick exotic lines over her dark eyelids, furthering her impression of unusual beauty.

## Personality

Princess Jaslen is famous for hosting lavish parties and flirting shamelessly with everyone who crosses her path. She is known as frivolous and a gigantic gossip, but anyone who has survived as long in court as she has must have more steel underneath that is readily apparent.

She loves court, although she never bothered to acknowledge Corval MC, or any other young ladies of her generation.

## Past

She caused quite the stir during her own stint as a delegate and as a consequence developed an international reputation. For being a gossip, if nothing else.

## Plot

### Week 1

During the introductions, Jaslen gladly shares with the MC some gossip regarding the Wellin delegation, specifically Lisle and Woodly. Choosing this dialog option nets an additional +5 politics.

Jaslen automatically accepts an invitation to a morning tea event, and will provide a +10 politics bonus if the event is successful.

### Week 3

With high enough persuasive skill, the MC may discover a secret about Jaslen in the music room.

Jaslen may be invited to a midnight picnic event.

During the matchmaker's ball at the end of the week, the MC is seated between her and Falon. The chaperons get into an argument about viewing the personal "drama" over the approved couples, and whether it can be considered acceptable entertainment. The MC may agree with either one, netting a small amount of approval from their respective nations. With very high persuasion skill, the MC may diplomatically attempt to claim the middle ground.

### Week 4 - Week 5

Jaslen starts a theater production in which the MC can take part in.
Immoral v Ethical

* Gisette's date - character assassination (auto-fail if ethical and low manipulation)
* Lyon's date - history debate (auto-fail if unethical)

### Week 4

At the beginning of week 4, an immoral MC will get +5 to cunning, whereas an ethical one will get +5 to leadership.

## How to change your personality

* Character Creation
	+ ​Arland MC - poison?
	+ Corval MC - eliminating your rivals
	+ Hise MC - sinking ships
	+ Jiyel MC - retribution against Jiya
	+ Revaire - murdered your husband
		- A Revaire MC who did not murder her husband but considered it will get a smaller boost to immoral
	+ Wellin - suitors' "accidents"
* Introductions - supporting the Revaire royals in a conversation with Gisette (truth)
* First matchmaker interview - poisoning the tea
* Introductions - declaring Katyia's Legacy public ambition, and a different private one
* Week 3 - Arland and Wellin delegates debate - lying will get this, usually
Historian

## Profile

Formerly known as the 2nd '???' Faction prior the full demo.

Mainly interacting with Yvette will raise this faction.

1. Welcome Feast Convo - Falon - Ask about Jiyel History
2. Welcome Feast Convo - Yvette - I think it will be fascinating to witness such important events firsthand. Why, it's practically living through history!
3. Lyon's date - I'm of the mind that if one is forced to choose, it is better to accurately preserve a record of what happened, in hopes that that knowledge can give better understanding and more choices to the future generations.
4. Hosting a lecture ( Yvette gives more boosts if she's invited )
5. The Summit - Witness History/Katyia's Footsteps
6. Horse Ride - Yvette - I think there is much to be learned from the stories of days long gone, Lady Yvette. Melancholy or not, so long as they are true.

Interestingly, MC is able to be a secret historian upon having at least 50 History knowledge, 25 Intelligence and an unassuming personality.

## Plot

### Secret Scene - Whisper in the Library

This scene is most likely related to Historians.

MC overheard snippets of the strangest conversation between the Dowager Countess and Jasper. MC couldn't make out much, but there was something about responsibilities and oaths. It was strange, but not as strange as the fact those particular two were conversing at all. MC feels like she have stumbled over a piece of some greater mystery.

### Secret Scene - An Unusual Song

This scene is likely related to the Historians.

MC discovered a young isle native boy involved in some very puzzling behaviors. First he was playing a song that is really a two hundred year old coded message and second he had a 'practice observation journal. MC can't help but feel it's all part of something bigger, some strange mystery that's going on.

### Secret Scene

On week 4 it's possible to complete the Historian secret chain, provided you've discovered both of the previous secrets. It also requires high relationship with Jasper, and high insight. Find the final secret by exploring the castle and searching the guest hall.
More Than You Appear

These backgrounds are not available for the demo, but we can see if we managed to unlock them.

1. A rebel leader

Cynical v Romantic

> "Love has no place in alliances of state."
>
>

The cynical/romantic personality trait reflects the MC's feelings primarily about matters of romantic love. It's possible to maintain this trait at a neutral balance, unlike some other personality traits.

## How it influences the game

### Background selection

The sheltered princess background is locked out for cynical MCs.

## How to change your personality

### Character Creator

When asked about your maid marrying a much older man.

### Matchmaker's first interview

When asked if hoping for a love match. The Matchmaker's response will be disparaging, regardless.

### Week 1

On Hamin's date: "I think giving me a stone the color of my eyes is romantic."

### Week 4

Cynical trait awards +5 to poise, and romantic to charisma.
Jiyel

## Profile

Jiyel is the land of scholars and innovation. Despite its small size, Jiyel is formidable. Generations of the Kingdoms greatest scholars, inventors, philosophers, doctors, strategists and thinkers have come from or studied in Jiyel. Nowhere is intelligence prized as much as in Jiyel. The king’s major advisors and ministers are all selected based on their performance on the National Scholars exams and later training.

* Jiyel
* Jiyel Scholars

## Flaws

### Jiyel!MC is not a reliable narrator on Jiyel culture/politics

Just like the Sheltered Princess can’t tell you anything about the reality of how much it sucks to be a peasant in Arland, the Jiyel!MC has a limit to what she knows. She has lived a very isolated life, almost completely away from court and filled only with learning and books. As such anything to do with the bigger picture of Jiyel politics/culture/court is not something she knows much about.

### Jiyel is not a hyper-logical society.

While both Lyon and Jiyel!MC are both very logical, while Jiyel society itself is not. Like any society/culture, Jiyel is filled with people. People are complicated and diverse. There are lots of people making decisions based on a variety of reasons, a few choose logic and pure reason, but many more choose personal benefit, tradition, or feelings. The current King, for instance, makes very emotional decisions.

### Jiyel is not actually a meritocracy.

While it’s true that they are much more open about allowing everyone to learn and there are some people who manage to better their position, the meritocracy is more of a convenient myth than anything. They have a royal family and nobles who all inherit wealth, lands and people, just for being born in the right order to the right people. Even within the government/military/power positions, favor is given to people with connections or the right name.

**The test to become a summit delegate is separate from the test to get a government position**

There is a special test that potential delegates take that is separate from the other tests of scholars and government. This one is only open to people born with enough social status. You won’t see a commoner representing Jiyel at the summit.

**Gender equality? Not a thing.**

While women of certain proven merit are allowed to become scholars (especially if they are studying something that is seen as more feminine) they generally don’t inherit lands or titles, nor or they allowed positions in the military or government. Women are also not given the same sort of freedom as men, culturally or socially.

## Trivia

* Famous for its rice, fish, and flavorful soups. It has some of the healthiest tasty cuisines in all the nations.
* Jiyel is one of two regions that were never part of the Revairan Empire, the other being Skalt.

Corval Satires

A popular, scandalous (cheap) serial novel going around the kingdoms that clearly satires and spoofs of people and things that really happen in the imperial court

## Aly's Notes

"Haha they are more like terrible, horrible gothic romance novels with satire sneaked in.

And there might be a reoccurring character named Lord Vain.

Now that I have decided they exist, they probably will show up at some point, don’t you think? Perhaps even the mystery of their author might be unveiled."

## Secrets

Visiting the ballroom on week 5, you can eavesdrop on several unnamed delegates discussing the satires, and later find a copy in the castle library.
