- We ask Lily about
- The original 5 moon knights
- Chicot is kinda Enoch's pet at this point, p sad
- Orchid = orc kid - acts like a kid, looks like a kid, extremely deadly
- December had a Vara lab and is v interested in helping with Enoch's plan to bring the Death Cure (vampirism)
- December's lab is still running in Vara, but December lives in Noctis City
- Star = later addition - soldier that fell in battle and was dying until Enoch revived him
- Noctis tries to bring werewolves and wizards (lich) into the fold, but they're generally not the that present in Noctis
- December will be at the scepter tonight
- There are rumors that the Resistance and/or Blitz and Belinda might show up, so expect heightened security
- Human x Vampire babies = Dhampirs
- Have a connection to some vampiric powers but they are daywalkers who eat normal food
- The original 5 moon knights
- Lily gives us a banned Noctis history book and we cover it with the cover from Women and Kings
- We get a tour of the Rose Citadel
- The Rat disguises himself and Keyheatis
- Isadora is the tour guide; Vlad and Ciaran Vance are also on the tour. All three are vampires
- Vlad and Ciaran are well-known artists and are very rich
- Called the Rose Citadel because it was a gift from Shar (goddess of night but ALSO of loss)
- First gift to Enoch was her counsel
- Second was the Death Cure
- Third was the Rose Citadel (citadel is sometimes called the Third Gift)
- Black roses all over the castle (symbol of Noctis)
- High walls and all rooms brought from other planes
- A lot of the castle is still empty/not used
- The Rat asks where the sun seed is. Isadora tells everyone the sun seed is a myth
- Keyheatis senses the sun seed in the castle
- We see many statues showing the 5 original founders and plenty of "we killed death" statues
- Chicot is looking in a different direction than the other 4 (The Rat gets a fate point for his niiiice question)
- He used to be a happy fun dude, now he's more of a wandering vampire
- All Moon Knights live in the castle
- Vlad pulls Keyheatis aside and offers to tell her more about Chicot
- Chicot is braindead now, more like an animal
- He's been like this since he was brought back (because he was dead for 20 years)
- Enoch still talks to Chicot
- Isadora shows us several banners in a large hall -- banners for Noctis, the Church of Shar, an old Ampa one, and one banner of Vara
- From this hall there's actually access to some of the war rooms
- Lemetia asks if Isadora will show us any secret-y rooms
- "We can pay you" -- Alif
- Isadora offers to show us our choice of: Treasure Room, Armory, Library, December's Laboratory, and Orchid's Room
- We go to the Lab
- It is elegant -- knowledge and mastery abound
- Weapons of war seemingly
- Alif steals 5 vials quietly, 2 are valuable per The Rat's treasure sense
- One orange liquid, one light green gas, one yellow jelly (valuable), one green jelly, one dark green gas (valuable)
- We go to the Library
- Beeeeg library, tons of books, many in different languages, including some in Soltari
- One is Suns of Desire
- Another is a Soltari description of the invasion of the sun
- Another is a description of different planets in the system
- Lemetia steals the one about the invasion of the sun
- We go to the Treasury but don't manage to steal anything
- We go to the throne room (it's a little uninspiring)
- There are gnolls, ghouls, spineterrors, and ghasts in the uncleared parts of the castle
- Keheatys and The Rat leave the tour (The Rat steals Ciaran's 75K hat)
- Lemetia visits the Church of Shar and talks to the priest there
