THE COURT OF MIRACLES
"Hey, come here, boy…come sit by me.
That's my boy. You know, I saw you steal that purse. Believe me, boy, with a bit of training and a few tips, you could become a very respectable pickpocket. Worthy of joining our ranks. If you're interested, of course. Ah, you don't know what I'm talking about? Oh, you're new here, aren't you? You weren't born in the fine city of Paris? Ah, I see...
Well then, I must tell you about the Brotherhood of the Poor, the Beggars' Guild, the mythical Jargon! The nobles have their rich palaces, the bourgeoisie their lavish homes. As for us, we have our Court of Miracles. Seedy courtyards to anyone who isn't one of us, but for beggars, mendicants, and paupers, they're real little pieces of heaven.
Why miracles? Because every evening they're the site of countless miracles, of course! There are several in Paris, well hidden, near the Rue de l'Egyptienne or the Rue des Forges, another one near Porte Saint-Denis. But the biggest, more prestigious once, where the Grand Coësre sits, is by Les Halles, at the Fief d'Alby..."
In The Court of Miracles, lead a guild of Thieves and Beggars, build your reputation among your peers and become the new King of Beggars. But beware, the Penniless King watches and will not let himself be done...and neither will your opponents!
