"There is no punishment for failure in Vodacce. Those who deserve to be punished are already dead."

- Giovanni Villanova

Vodacce is a lady who hides her steel claws within a velvet glove. Her daughters¸ mistresses of destiny and weavers of the future¸ direct their subtle manipulations beneath the notice of the seven merchant Princes and hide their power behind veils and webs. Within her borders lies the ancient city of Numa¸ a rotting husk within the trappings of the Vaticine Church¸ surrounded by lost relics of a former age. Gently rising from arched spires and impossible towers¸ the islands of the Princes maintain complete power over its mainland¸ controlling their noble families with an iron grasp. Courtesans¸ beautiful and glittering¸ dance for the nobility behind jeweled masks while dark shadows conceal Fate Witches and their skeins. While the men war for control of Vodacce's wealth and power¸ the women fight a battle of a different sort - against the very destiny they seek to control. The most dangerous country in Théah hides behind a pleasing smile.
