A Letter from the Crown

In this late hour of the Empire, the Crown has turned not only to soldiers and statesmen, but to its own townspeople for eyes and ears in the shadows. Recent disturbances within the realm, carried out by hidden hands and whispered loyalties, have made clear that threats to the Crown do not always arrive in uniform. You have each been discreetly enlisted into a covert intelligence initiative known only as The Order of the Veiled Rose. 

Tonight marks your first formal evaluation. You will be observed, measured, and judged not by force of arms, but by wit, restraint, and the subtle art of inference. 

Assume the identity contained within your dossier. Speak as they would speak. Move as they would move. Trust is a luxury you cannot afford.

Somewhere among you stands the operative assigned as your partner. Find them. Learn what you can of others. Reveal nothing you cannot afford to lose.

Those who distinguish themselves in this program will advance to overseas assignments, working alongside the Crown’s established informants and field agents across the Empire.

Serve the Crown well, and you shall advance.
