==Description==
===History===
===Appearance===
===Principles===
Hunger. The absolute need to consume, and be consumed by its urgeswhims and cravings.
Passion. The need to *do*, to commit oneself to something, until that something becomes you.
Vanity. The love of oneself and their appearance, and the urgency of having it represent oneself as well.
Drama. The petty conflict of common folk, universal entertainment to all men. The whispers of the court are a melody appreciated by the Red Queen.
==Worship==
The Red Queen is worshiped by her followers, various bloodlines of vampires and aspiring creatures of the night. Seekers of pleasure, passion and eternity.
===Cult===
'''The Ivory Club'''
A secretive society for nobles and those with coin and a presence, where its luxurious meeting-rooms are full of velvety cushions, enveloped in curious rumours and silky curtains wearing the colours of dawn and dusk. Many know that there are otherworldly pleasures to experience in their halls at night, though few know of their true nature.
For the apocalyptic world, they are relatively well off, and give out an air of nobleness and luxury to the uninitiated...
===Mark===
# '''Temptation: PhraseBloodlust: I find myself desiring more and more unorthodox pleasures lately.# '''Dedication: PhraseBloodlust: I have decided to dedicate myself to the whims of the Red Queen.# '''Ascension: PhraseThe Curse: The thirst has touched me, and the ecstasy is like nothing else.# '''Ascension: PhraseThe Curse: The ravages of the years affect me less and less. My heart slows as time passes, but my hunger only grows.# '''Ascension: PhraseThe Curse: I can no longer control myself among the mortals. The hearts of the living sing to my ears a most delightful melody.# '''Ascension: PhraseThe Curse:The minds of men are weak, fragile. Their crimson essence is all i desire. I know all that happens in Her court, and i savour every drop of salacious rumour.# '''EndingA New Face In The Court''': The Red Queen has taken me as one of her own. I am the apex predator among the living, and mighty among the dead. I will not grow old.

====The Amaranthine Aristocracy====
The Red Queen's love for the Listless King births hundreds upon hundreds of children per day, constantly. These strange, helpless {{Aspect|Grail}}-aspected spirits are usually eaten seconds after they are born, either by the Queen herself or her husband, but those that survive often have better fates. They feast on their weaker siblings, growing stronger and stronger. The more they survive, the more they thrive and achieve. The Amaranthine Aristocrats themselves have been known to reach Name-level power or even, in a few rare cases, Hour-level (Gods-From-Amaranth). The weaker Aristocrats are essentially Raw Prophets.
