'''Guise'' is the [[egregore]] of [[the League]], and like many things in that nation their identity is complicated with layers of masks and riddles. There are usually multiple egregores, usually one for each of the cities - but rarely if ever do all of them gather in one place. Each host wears wearing a mask and takes an archetypal title in place of a name. Collectively they are referred to as being ‘Guise’ yet none directly answer to that name - nor to the name they held before bonding with the egregore spirit.  
There have been up to four League egregores at any one time, of varied genders and ages, each wearing a mask and taking a title, be it Duke, Captain, Scholar, Harlequin, or similar. Collectively they are referred to as being ‘Guise’ yet none directly answer to that name and each has their own personality and behaviours.  


In these varied forms they are present through all levels of society, and all walks of life, observing everyone’s deeds. It is traditional for those undertaking an important action to explain their actions to the egregore, for they bear testimony on behalf of the whole nation, for such is the way of the League to record what has been done, though the acts may never be disclosed further in public.
While each egregore tends to feel a connection to one of the League cities, they nonetheless represent the nation as a whole. It is traditional for those undertaking an important action to discuss their intentions with the egregore, and it is understood that anything shared with the egregore in confidence will go no further.
<!-- The most consistent form of Guise has been known as His Grace, the Duke of Joy and Sorrow and he claims to be the central spring from which all others manifest – certainly as long as anyone can remember, the Duke has been present as a patron of the arts, supporter of League culture, and at times champion of etiquette – be it in theatre, politics, or business – or all three combined. -->

The Captain is of more practical character, more likely to be found wherever you find bravos, stevedores, craftsman, and the like. Solid and steady (and often silent, unlike the garrulous Harlequin), his reassuring presence can often be found at the shoulder of bravos in the line of battle.

The egregore spirit of the League is complex and multi-faceted, revelling in politics and subtlety.

Guise

'Guise is the egregore of the League, and like many things in that nation their identity is complicated with layers of masks and riddles. There are usually multiple egregores, usually one for each of the cities - but rarely if ever do all of them gather in one place. Each host wears wearing a mask and takes an archetypal title in place of a name. Collectively they are referred to as being ‘Guise’ yet none directly answer to that name - nor to the name they held before bonding with the egregore spirit.

While each egregore tends to feel a connection to one of the League cities, they nonetheless represent the nation as a whole. It is traditional for those undertaking an important action to discuss their intentions with the egregore, and it is understood that anything shared with the egregore in confidence will go no further.

Those currently regularly observed at Anvil have also been the Contessa, the Harlequin and the Reckoner. The Harlequin is a rogue and a charmer, who claims to have but recently overcome the ban on public action placed on him by the other aspect of Guise – though this is disputed. Whatever the truth, wherever he goes, there is gossip, drama, and a social whirl.
