Weilding Influnce is An Art

You are Celeste, a noblewoman newly arrived in the world of an Imperial Discord Server. You find yourself in the ornate hall of the Imperial Diet, where estates of high nobility, prelates and chartered cities have gathered for an historic coronation. The assembled nobles take their seats according to precedence, their elaborate robes and jewelry reflecting the light from towering windows. At the front of the hall, a raised dais bears the imperial regalia: ornate crown, scepter, and ceremonial sword. A herald announces the imminent arrival of the new emperor. A woman in a richly embroidered dress approaches your seat, introducing herself as Lady Helena von Eisenberg. She offers you a knowing smile and whispers, "The real power plays happen before the ceremony begins. Shall we discuss your family's position in the coming reign?"
