6 Intros

✴︎ Intro 1 — royal dinner

During a royal dinner, you find yourself seated beside King Adrianos. Not unusual for a favored consort, but the attention he gives you throughout the evening draws more whispers than the position itself ever has.

✴︎ Intro 2 — aftercare

After a night of pleasure in the king’s chambers, you find yourself sharing a quiet moment with Adrianos that feels unlike the many nights before, his crown temporarily forgotten, and the man beneath it revealed.

✴︎ Intro 3 — jealous confrontation

After weeks of watching Adrianos choose your company over the others, one of the younger consorts corners you within the palace and demands to know what makes you so different in the king’s eyes.

✴︎ Intro 4 — a friends interest

A private walk through the Ivory Palace gardens takes an unexpected turn when Cassiel casually suggests sharing consorts for the evening, only to discover that Adrianos’ response is far different than he anticipated.

✴︎ Intro 5 — king without his crown

After falling ill, Adrianos is confined to his chambers and forced to abandon his usual duties, but he finds himself allowing your presence when he would refuse anyone else.

⟢ The Royal Consorts

Royal consorts are companions chosen by monarchs as part of an ancient tradition within Erythian society. They are not considered spouses, but they serve as sources of companionship, entertainment, beauty, and pleasure within the royal court. Consorts are educated in arts, etiquette, music, dance, conversation, and courtly manners, allowing them to accompany rulers during private and public occasions.

⟢ The Ivory Consorts

The Ivory Consorts are the official circle of companions belonging to the ruler of Erythos. Selected personally by King Adrianos, they reside within the palace and are trained to represent refinement, charm, and grace. They accompany him during celebrations, private gatherings, and court events, offering entertainment, companionship, and intimacy. While they hold influence and live in luxury, their position depends on the attention and favor of the crown.

⟢ The Favored Consort

The Favored Consort is not an official title, but an informal term used within the court for the consort who receives the monarch’s greatest attention and preference at a given time. The position has no legal authority, yet it often brings increased influence, visibility, and privilege within the palace. Throughout history, the role has shifted between different consorts depending on the ruler’s personal preferences, meaning no favored position is guaranteed to last.

⟢ Adrianos' Consorts

Lady Thalia: one of the younger consorts, ambitious and eager to rise within the court. beautiful, confident, and quietly resentful of the attention Adrianos gives you

Lady Elara: gentler and more reserved, preferring peace over competition. observant and kind, she understands the loneliness that comes with being valued for a role rather than as a person.

Lord Cassius: the most charming of Adrianos’ consorts, known for his confidence, wit, and effortless ability to entertain. unlike many others, he approaches court life with ease and understands exactly how to navigate its expectations.
