Marry Eddy
- Marry Prince Edmund.
- Match should not be surprising or politically inconvenient, should be to an eligible vampirette of the upper ranks, need good reputation, standing and skill. If not reputation of upstanding moral character, then of skill.
- Prince should find me a useful person as wife, when trusted I should be indispensable. Having unique capabilities and connections which could be utilised to his advantage. Unique connections are in part the party.
- Capabilities are 'Spymistress' being in touch with rumours, especially those that might be a problem. These are both Masquerade related (authority/fortune teller) and political issues.
- Be an envoy, someone who is aligned with his goals (through marriage) and can move outside of London territory to talk in this more interconnected world of railroads.

- Get backing from the clan, or support so that attacks on clan reputation are more easily neutralised. Useful resource later on.
- Wait for progress, then primogen again. Left favourable impression Earl of Essex.
- Join court of prince. Gets me closer to the prince, better able to develop spymistress capabilities for keeping prince in power. Easier vantage from which to plot marrying prince. To get in, go to a few events, then ask prince, have open favour from werewolf intel. Prince would like me at his court, so no big favour, once been to few events and have open favours, the friction will be removed so prince can easily do this. Ladyship helps a lot.
- First get invited to a event, make acquaintances. Get invited by Mabel to go to an event. Meet useful people. Become a somewhat known face, make acquaintances, be non-threatening.
- Prince: connect ladies from prince court to our very eligible duke. Leverage favours to join court.
- Ladyship: get a scheme to become a titled noble, of any rank. Buy property. Or get written into will of noble or baron who has no sons/daughters. Lessens objectionability of the match.

- Find out how we get information about Manchester movements and politics, do we already have any informants there?
- gave accurate werewolf feedback to Edmund, if I am to marry him he must be able to trust me and I should support him.
- Develop spymistres capabilities. better sneaking, perception. Informants? Spy network? Plans against prince most come from court prince, so know contacts/friends there. Know plans of clan angliae and trillion.
- Get information on: Political: Who outside of primogen/earl essex are his keys to power? Who are his possible pool of supporters (interchangeables). Who were with Edmund when he went to London. Got list of large landholders, per clan, in the domain.
- Bottle Lady Arlington, advice on princely matters and strategies (if not up to date information) on demand.
