While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
gains a physical trait usually associated with
the top dog of the group selected. This trait
may turn out to be a stereotype, which could
prove troublesome for a Dragon trying to
blend in.
Crown Crown of of tthe
t he Ages Ages (Jack (Jack of of Goblet Goblets) Goblet s)
Another tribute to regality, this
Aspect bestows upon the Dragon the power
of command, though limited by the language
in which it is issued. Dragons take this trait
when they like to get things done, but don’t
care for the consequences of plying
authority.
The Dragon spends a point of
Willpower and rolls Presence + Persuasion
+ “Crown of Ages” – Resolve to issue a
command—which can be no longer than a
single sentence—to a mortal. The command
can have a number of steps equal to the
points manifest in Crown of the Ages, but
cannot be suicidal and cannot call the
mortal’s morality into question. Also, the
mortal will only follow the command as
issued, and is free to fill in gaps of grammar
any way he pleases.
She must be careful with her words,
though. Any mortal in earshot who hears a
step of the command from start to finish will
perform that command. In places where her
voice travels, the Dragon may cause more
problems than good through the use of this
Aspect.
This Aspect works on supernatural
beings, but only if Breath is spent in
conjunction with the Willpower. It does not
work if it forces a subject to sin (by their
perspective, not society’s). The subject
cannot be commanded more than once in a
scene.

Dramatic Failure: The means through
which the commands are carried out is
piecemeal and often out of order.
Unintended subjects are drawn into the
words of the Crown, and are likely incapable
of completing the tasks they pick up on
effectively. Needless to say it blows up in
the Dragon’s face.
Failure: Nobody is compelled to follow the
command. In fact, it draws suspicion and
scorn. The Dragon will likely face scrutiny
for being so bossy.
Success: Mortals who hear a step of the
command in its entirety are compelled to
attempt carrying it out, though they feel it is
of their own volition. If the command
places the subject in danger, he may
immediately break from it. If the command
happens to fall below his acceptable level of
sin, he is not compelled at all. If Breath is
spent when issuing the command,
supernatural beings are likewise compelled
with the same conditions.
Exceptional Success: Identical to success,
but the Willpower is not spent.
While this Aspect is manifest, the Dragon
forms a crown of light that hovers just above
her head. This crown can be hard to notice
in daylight, but shines softly in shadows.
Sigil Sigil Scales Scales (Squire (Squire of of Goblets Goblets) Goblets
Symbols of prowess that decorate the
Dragon’s body, they do more than establish
her as a big shot. The skills that the symbols
represent are mystically enhanced by the
myth of prowess these sigils creates, making
the Dragon more capable than she should be.
When purchased, each dot of this
Aspect is assigned to a particular Skill.
