Esbilon
Seven Thousand Club
Name: Sparkling Diamond Rose
Caste: Eclipse
Anima: A rain of rose petals, each shining with a brilliant light
Motivation: Create a lasting peace between Creation and the Wyld
Appearance
The history of the Second Solar Deliberative is a glorious one. It is the story of 300 great golden lawgivers, 300 guarding silver stewards, 100 wise viziers and the ten thousand terrestrials of the dragonblooded host. It is their story, their honor and their glory. They rule Creation and Creation worships them for it. And so, it is easy to forget that once in a while, someone falls between the cracks.
The edges of Creation are pushed out further every year, great obelisks are placed to keep the Wyld at bay. But sometimes, very rarely, perhaps only once in the history of Creation, these obelisks are placed imperfectly. And in these, or this, places, the Wyld can creep back in, and where the Wyld creeps, the fair folk come to live.
The lifeblood of the River Province is the Yanaze River which in turn is fed by countless others. If one follows the Yanaze, one comes first to the Yellow River and then to the Meander. The Meander continues eastwards into thick forests and land that mere centuries ago was entirely of the Wyld. Its spring lies on a small wood-covered mountain, and at the foot of this mountain is a valley where Wyld energies have pooled and where the dragon lines are favorable for those particular mystical energies, so here there is a spot, inside Creation's borders where the Wyld has come to stay.
Many tales are told of the fair folk, and quite a lot of those tales are told by the faeries themselves, but one tale is told everywhere anyone has heard of them. It is said that when a particularly beautiful, or strong, or fortuitous child is born, the faeries will steal that child away and leave behind a changeling for the parents to raise as their own flesh and blood. How the story goes from there differs, but one thing is never told. What happens to the child the faerie took?
The Eclipse Caste Sparkling Diamond Rose knows exactly what happens to at least some of those children, for she was one herself, and she walked out of the Wyld with a crowd of others like her following. The Unconquered Sun had chosen her, she said, and charged her with freeing these innocents from bondage.
In the decades since her Exaltation, she has labored tirelessly for the happiness and mental well-being of Creation's inhabitants, both high and low. She has spread warmth, light and even some semblance of sapience to those whose minds have been ravaged by the Raksha. She has talked down the behemoth One Thousand Eyes and One when it threatened to wreck its madness upon the city of Tahar-Kas. When the panic spread like a flash-fire through Malfeas at Sacheverell's increasingly trouble sleep, it was she who went to him and sang him the songs of calm and peace of mind that put him back to rest.
When the nascent Gold Faction started looking for celestials to sequester away in safety, she was a natural candidate. They did not know what would follow, but they knew that those who were chosen would awaken in a world changed beyond reckoning. And she, more than anyone, had felt the madness of Change on her own mind and body, and she, more than anyone, knew how to restore peace and sanity to troubled souls.

Manses
The Palace of Binding Lullabies
Level 5 Oramus
Located in Malfeas, near where Sachaveral sleeps.
Rose was awarded this Manse as a reward for ensuring Sachaveral's slumber during Operation Wyld Hand. She visited it only rarely afterwards, but the demons who guard it will allow none other than her or the bearer of her Exaltaiton to claim it.
The Cradle of Form
Level 3 Solar
Located near the spring of the Meander inside the Middlemarshes.
After learning to Shape the Wyld, Rose returned to her birthplace and changed the small Wyld pocket into a demesne. She later had a Manse built there and used it as her vacation home in the East.
These days, it is largely abandoned, the Raksha know not disturb it as Thorn of the Lotus still comes by every few years and clears out any squatters who dare defile it.
The Rose on the Mountaintop
Level 1 Air
Located on the top of a mountain the frozen North.
A five metres high statue of Rose. It was originally crafted from quartz, but the centuries of Air Essence is turning it into pure diamond.
The Flamewind Garden
Level 1 Fire
Located on a mesa in the Summer Mountains, near the Inland Sea.
Another of Rose's vacation homes. This Manse lies at a conflux of Air, Fire and Wood Essence which gives it a unique local flora. The garden surrounding the small (by First Age standards) building of red marble inlaid with blue and green jade is full of brightly blooming flowers that are all hot to the touch. When the wind flows through the forest, traces of red and orange flames can be seen in it. These flames are hot, but never last long enough to burn anyone.
Retainers
Raiond Feng
Earth aspected dragonblood
Rose's loyal bodyguard and valet. Is in charge of her other servants and at times even enjoys her confidence.
Jingfei
Noble raksha
Jingfei does not really have an official posistion in Rose's staff. Her primary function is to be a liaison to The Storm of Wonders and Torments, but the noble was created with a wealth of memories taken from Creation-born The Storm had ravished over the millennia. She has a knack for pointing out flaws in plans and asking the difficult questions that need answers.

Virtue Flaw: Overindulgence
The character's self-control completely fails, and she surren-ders to all forms of excess. Sex, liquor, drugs and gluttony become equally attractive, and the character will not listen to reason or postpone her debauch. She indulges in all vices at hand, regardless of expense or consequences. If she’s penniless or isolated, she’ll
borrow or steal or travel to a location where she can indulge. Characters in poor health should make a Stamina check to avoid long-term negative consequences from such an episode.
Partial Control: The character can be talked into essential duties such as pursuing enemies or leading armies. However, in every spare moment, she indulges in whatever forms of excess are available. She can avoid drinking on duty but not being exceptionally hung over. She automatically says yes whenever offered some intoxicant or other pleasure.
Duration: One full day
Limit Break Condition: The character must pass a favorite pleasure or vice in order to act in a moral fashion.
