((I am putting this in history, because I show by telling, and I tell more by showing.))
Chaos creates a certain kind of society. Perpetual war breeds suspicion and hostility to strangers. Law is spread too thin to be effective, and corruption and scandal bloom.
The the world is vast and dangerous, and there are thousands of opportunities and risks. For someone who has power or is willing to gain it, It is possible to become very rich.
The Borgias had bought titles when they went from being peasants to landholders of vast estates.
Lord and Lady Borgia are recently deceased, leaving their four children their fortune. Tess is the second oldest child. Born with wealth and prestige, she married into more.
She is every lonely wife, young and lovely with sad eyes, with the misfortune to have married a soldier. In the garden and walking through the streets of the city she misses him.
In the cradle of Life there is an avatar of the makers. Tess looks like that, but usually dressed in black, and found attending dinner parties and not protecting anyone.
None of the weapons she carries are visible, except those which are disguised. She is tall and her hair is black and she is fair.
