PC Roles

• Knights of Utmost Silence - Knights of the Utmost Silence are the highest-ranked Winters in the Philadelphia Freehold and report directly to the Queen. They direct the Sun Banishers in their work, gather the information from the Sages of the Onyx Mirror, and use that information to direct the Longest Night Pages, the Archers of the Lonely March, and the Stewards of the Midwinter Hearth, to give information to DJ Ötzal to be passed along on Radio Free Fae. They're martially capable if not adept and sharp organizers. There are two Knights of Utmost Silence at any given time. The Right-Hand Knight's primary responsibilities are the outward-facing jobs, communicating with other Courts and coordinating with the Stewards. The Left-Hand Knight primarily organizes the Sun Banishers and Archers of the Lonely March; the Sages work mostly on their own but report information to both Knights. Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 4, Persuasion 3, Investigation 2, Brawl or Weaponry 2, Subterfuge (Detect Lies) 3, Fixer

  Current Right-Hand Knight:

• Sun Banishers - The Sun Banishers are the cleaners of the Winter Court. Whenever secrets get out, or a mortal gets too close in a way that would endanger them, the Sun Banishers are sent to rectify the situation. Their job description is best described as 'redaction' -- mostly facts, but very rarely people. They are encouraged to to use non-lethal methods, such as Oaths, Sealings, and Bargains, whenever possible. Sun Banishers report to the Knights of Utmost Silence. Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 3, Investigation 2, Subterfuge (Detect Lies) 2, Hostile Takeover
  Current Sun Banishers:

• DJ Ötzal - This isn't so much a job as a shared responsibility of Winters through the entire Freehold. Named after Ötzi, where the frozen caveman was found, this personality speaks only in a whisper, passing on the most crucial information on Radio Free Fae. This is both an honor for Winters who undertake this responsibility, and also a point of mild terror, because some who have taken the role of DJ have reported falling into a trance, not remembering later what they've said. It's not a job for the faint of heart. Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 3, Expression 2, Occult 2

• Steward of the Midwinter Hearth - The Steward reports directly to the Right-Hand Knight, and are responsible for seeing to the mundane supplies needs of the Freehold, as well as stocking up Hedge fruits. The Steward is therefore busy all year, since many Hedge fruits are not available during the Winter; the Steward is always busy. Something like a Winter Quartermaster, the Steward oversees administration of housing for indigent or recently-returned Lost as well as taking primary responsibility for helping Lost obtain appropriate legal paperwork such as an Alternate Identity would require. Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 3, Market Sense, Allies (Legal) 2, Politics 2, Fixer

• Sage of the Onyx Mirror - Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 2, Diviner 2+, Portents and Visions, Walls Have Ears

• Archers of the Lonely March - Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 2, Survival (Hedge) 2, Brawl or Weaponry 2, Occult 2

• Longest Night Page - Prerequisites: Winter Mantle 1
