Situation
House Morven’s daughter is two weeks late for her arranged marriage, her caravan lingering in every town to flaunt their improbable wealth. A three-day ride has become a fortnight of feasts and fanfare, and it is now obvious to all that she is very pregnant. Whispers and smirks follow her procession; the family’s gilded tower crest, fixed high on every wagon, resembles a monumental phallus. Whether her prospective in-laws will see the “joyous news” as a blessing or a disgrace remains to be seen and the question hangs in the air: will overflowing dowry chests be enough to silence the scandal?
