The Fashion of the Court

golden_century_events.22

The riches of a golden age have swollen the appetites of Capital. Its nobles, its prelates, and its wealthy burghers vie with one another in display, and their agents scour the markets for Target Good to grace their halls and their tables.

Under Target Ruler we may lean into this hunger and proclaim Target Good the fashion of the court, so that demand for it in our capital swells far beyond what our own people would ever require. Every merchant who carries it to our shores will profit, and through our tariffs and our own trade, so shall we.
