Courtesean

Courtesans are high-class entertainers and professional companions, paid in favors and privileges for the honor of their company. These trendsetting socialites levy their clout to consort with those above their station, maneuvering connections to build exclusive clientele and climb the social ladder. A courtesan's discretion and mobility among the different ranks of society make their friendship well worth the price.

The targeted ally ignores any circumstance and status penalties they have until the start of the courtesan's next turn. The target then becomes temporarily immune to this ability for 10 minutes.

Elegant Establishments

Courtesans thrive both in business and status by catering to the elite upper class through creating private, exclusive spaces such as theaters, art galleries, tea houses, and boutiques. This allows both the courtesans and the upper class to strengthen alliances and accumulate secrets.

Social Warfare

Though courtiers might have guards and servants at their command, their most potent forces are their connections outside of court and the will of the common people. A noble might have financial control of the entertainment district, but a popular courtesan moving their patronage will take their admirers with them. An envoy who endears themselves to commoners by having their spies expose corrupt officials can provoke public outrage when a rival attempts to have them replaced.
