[WP] In most fantasy settings Magic users are either the ruling class or somehow politically powerful. Instead you live in a world where those who use Magic are at the bottom of the social ladder.	83
[WP] Humanity invented lies. To the gods it seemed like a petty achievement unworthy of their attention, but it was a new thing unknown to them so they sent the least of their number to live among the mortals and study the art of lying.	67
[WP] The revaluation is over; the lost princess wears her mother's crown and as her advisor during the war you have an important job in the new government. There is just one problem; the princess is a fake and no one but you knows, not even the princess.	60
[WP] You were born knowing the exact number of words you have left. You don't know what happens when you run out; if you'll be struck mute or die or something you've never thought of, you just know that this knowledge has greatly shaped how you live your life.	51
[WP] We called ourselves a guild because the term gang was too brutish and inelegant.	45
[WP] Everyone's destiny, both great and small, fits together like a well-crafted clock. A flaw in the fate of even a single individual could cause the entire system to catch and grind against, but what happens if someone's fate wasn't just damaged or off course but entirely missing?	40
[WP] Emoto-forms are emotions given life, spreading and influencing all those they reach. All are dangerous but none are quiet as insidious as Hope.	37
[WP] A humble farmer tilling their field has found the legendary "Buried Hatchet", a powerful artifact that allows its wielder power over conflict itself. Whenever it is found war, blood-feuds, and religious schisms abound, but never before has it been wielded by someone so lowly.	35
[WP] Humans are a weak but plentiful source of anti-magic. When a global disaster brings the global population below the total saturation point magic starts to return in small ways.	32
[WP] Mankind settles on Mars, not knowing that they have brought along the Fae as well. The hopes, fears, and superstitions of a newly forming culture combined with the vast stretches of unclaimed land between the small colonies are fertile soil for the growth of a new Court.	30
