Sun’s Shadow

Required: (Court Goodwill ••••)

This role is reserved for those outside the Court who have truly earned the respect of the local Crimson Courtiers. Someone with great Court Goodwill is truly worthy of it, whether having helped the king overcome some clandestine problem or having marched into the stormy Hedge with a battalion of Iron Spear soldiers to take the head of a terrible True Fae. The Sun’s Shadow is a brother to the courtiers, invited to all the Summer Court events, allowed to use the Mule Squires for his own purposes, able to call upon Iron Spear resources (tokens, safe houses, marked trods) for his own need. In some freeholds, the Sun’s Shadow role actually marks a partnership between his Court and the Summer Court. If he’s high-up in, say, the Autumn Court, then the Iron Spear and Leaden Mirror may see him as a changeling straddling the two worlds: the chain that connects their alliance.
