Hey to you.

I have just drawn this card and indeed, the non-fate companions you can acquire with masquing require up to 10 masquing.

There is none of them between 11 and 39 masquing, meaning that you can acquire quite a fair bunch of companions during this event if you manage your masquing well. I capped to 21 when I drew the card, so I can easily get two of them and collect masquing for more.

Of course, some people would feel it is a loss and spend fate for better ones, right?

The new companions of the Feast of the Rose 1895 are:

[[File:Genericmale2.png|thumb| An Enigmatic Augur

His booth is by Hangman's Arch. He meets your eye as he lays out three cards: the Ace of Chalices, the Knave of Wands, the Chariot. His eyebrows raise.

The lanterns are lit inside Blythenhale Mansion. The Mayor is working late into the night. A slight woman slips out through a side-door to avoid the crowds of petitioners and admirers around the front.

Charlatans prowl the avenues of Tyrant's Gardens."What's in my hands?" "The Empress and the dropsy!" "Your aura needs a polish!" But this one is different – one of the blind scholars of the Observatory. He pushes scornfully past the mountebanks to approach you. "The stars are dying," he says. "They do not see. Maybe you will."
