Often abbreviated AoI, '''''Age of Intrigue''''' is a [[Play By Post Game]] based in 1676, sixteen years after the Restoration of the English Monarchy. The game focuses on the Court of Charles II and the [[Blue Blood|noblemen and women]] as well as Commoners who comprised it. These are both historical and original characters. True to its title, and to history, scheming nobles and plots by politicians are a common facet of court, though its not impossible to find someone who is more interested in fashion or science (it is the beginning of the Enlightenment after all) and eschew such things. It is even easier to find [[The Hedonist|Libertines and Rakes]], mostly because they make a show out of themselves to shock Court with their profanity. Meanwhile, the beginnings of Proper Society are starting to form, seeing themselves as a civilizing influence. And, of course, business soldiers on, with fortunes being made and lost and made again.
Against this backdrop, characters find their way through the world, attempting to accomplish their goals (or even find out what they are), whether that be social climbing, founding a business, finding love, finding sex (nobility, after all, is a social class, not a character trait), instituting a new fashion trend, making an astonishing scientific discovery, or just socializing with the best England, Ireland, and Scotland have to offer.
Line 16:
The quote under Charles' portrait is from John Wilmot, 2nd Duke of Rochester and a character in the game, though the quote is historical.
