As of today, I, Enter Namj, a gentleman of an exceedingly normal and usual name for this time period that in no way, shape, or form resembles a clerical error on a form, am a Paramount Presence. As for now, I shall be off to lock myself in the Stacks until the roof-french deign to consider me a knight of the realm.
Ravenoak joins the club, and so the lights grow just a little bit dimmer.
After finding Fallen London back in High School over a decade ago, having my identity and art forever transformed by it, forgetting my old username, and possibly remaking twice, I have finally become a Paramount Presence!
Lady Mandevilla Chancery, known to London as the Bright Lady, is a writer, composer, leader, lover, and one of the most legendary liars ever to be misremembered by history. She’s a Crooked-Cross and a spymaster, serpent and spider, builder of nations and claimant to immortality, favouring Persuasion (with more than a few Shadows to her silvery words).
In one form or another, she has been a defining character in my life, and it is a privilege to be able to honour her as such.
Here’s to a brighter future and a kinder world to bear it.
Today, William Fain, Midnighter, Emissary Exigent, Citizen of the Hinterland, Memory of Innocents, and Protector of London, Rebel’s Citadel, and the Neath (self-proclaimed), becomes a Paramount Presence. May all those who seek it find succour in her protection.
Emissary CrystalDave – irrepressible worker, Correspondent and sometimes Monster Hunter, keeper of the Heart’s Desire & palatial Arctic estate, & affine to the art of Infernal Dance; has reached the marker of Paramount Presence. Much thanks to my longtime spouse, in the world & in London.
