Note location: Anywhere in Trench, the Jungle, or the Catacombs Number available: Lots Conditions to receive from Iskierka: Slightly more likely to award to someone who is an obvious Leader
There are two primary magics on Nephele: The magic of devotion and the magic of effort.
A Prince is the product of the first. She arises through the devotion of her followers, her Court. Once there are enough of them, they grant her apotheosis and the Prince-gift of her domain; she grants them their Court-gift as an echo of her own magic. As long as Courtiers remain devoted to their Prince, they keep their magic and she hers. Any who fall away lose their Court-gifts, and if enough leave her--or are killed--she will lose her Princehood.
Only a Prince may ascend the Throne and become a god, and only a Prince would think it reasonable to spend her Court in war for that end.
My lone consolation here is that my Prince is alive and so I find myself a Knight-Preserver again. This would be more useful if I knew any of these twisted echoes of the people I loved well enough to heal them, or cared. I do care.
