A sourcebook for a Renaissance-era setting of courtiers, artists, philosophers, princes, and magi, where duels, seduction, assassination, and political intrigue replace traditional battlefield conflict.

It also provides Storyteller guidance, character types, classic stunts, and material for stories of treachery, violence, and villainy.
