Valenth

The Court's reach is limitless; every nation that is, and perhaps every nation that ever was has had at least one Courtesan to watch over and advise its kings, emperors, lords and barons.
The tradition began with Lady Marquise herself, and has continued on through the ages, and until now has been one kept only by the Erosion dragons themselves.

They are the ever-vigilant guardians of the balance, ensuring that no one force ever takes hold of the whole of Valenth, even as they entertain and serve their charges.

A Courtesan's service is multi-faceted, all vital to the order. First is the time-honored art of entertainment; every Courtesan learns traditional dance or music, if not both, combined with traditional dress to please their charges and guests alike.
Far more vital, however, is service as an advisor and ambassador; by carefully guiding the leader of a nation, they ensure that its best interests are pursued... pulling strings to see that the Court's wishes are met willingly, as well.

Each Courtesan is assigned a single leader to serve; should anything become of them, or should the Courtesan be dismissed, they return to headquarters to continue their work among their kin.

In modern times, the Court has opened their doors to willing new mortal members, provided they have the patience and discipline necessary to learn the delicate art of skillful diplomacy.

Exactly why is yet to be seen, but some believe that the Erosion have their attention on events upon the horizon...
