There was a war or something that killed their parents but they have a fortune left for them in trust. Taken in by the Cardinal of the Faith, the High Priest of the Temple of Faith they are raised within the Temple in proper maidenly fashion.<br/>But he secretly trains them in spying, fighting, poisons, seduction, etc as well as magic. <br/>Mages are only allowed when sworn in blood service to a powerful family or as part of the Temple.<br/>All the orphan girls the High Priest collected were mages of one of the four elements, including the four sisters. <br/><br/>Age gaps between the sisters to be worked out, the eldest, then two years and the next child [or twins] and then a four/five year gap for the youngest. <br/><br/>K's character is the eldest, a fire mage and also a hermaphrodite. She was born of the secret affair between the girl's mother and him, born from sin and thus why he protects her so much. Married to the second in line to the Throne, younger brother of the heir. <br/>G's character is the flirt, tied to air and married to another high ranking member of the Temple, a mage.<br/>M's character is the scholar and wanton, tied to earth, married to a sadistic bastard who's a hidden mage/serial killer. What would his importance be to bemarried to him?<br/>Aniella is the youngest, the wallflower/shy one, tied to water and impressionable. She is babied. Falls in love with her chosen husband and struggles with the choice between her sisters and the Sisterhood and her love. <br/><br/>K's male character is the air mage's husband - sadistic bastard/hidden mage/serial killer. Speaker for the Guilds in the Senate. <br/>G's male character is the second in line to the Throne, 'submissive' to his wife, but honestly cares about her, doesn't care much about politics but does care for the good of the people?<br/>M's male character is the man that the water sister falls in love with - Master of the Guard - has the loyalty of all the military and navy in the city state. <br/>W's male character is the air mage's husband, a important mage. A priest/bishop in magic, Dean of the Academy of Mages. <br/><br/><br/>The Sisterhood is made up of all woman, placed all over the city/world and reporting to the Cardinal and the Fire mage sister. Love does not factor into the relationships normally but respect can form. <br/><br/>Fire mage is placed at the duke/king's court to spy on that. <br/><br/>Aniella  is the youngest [16 or 17?] and not married at the start of the story, her placement is important but the sisters are also protective. They are all still lovers and attached deeply to one another. <br/><br/>When Aniella  falls in love with her husband she faces a conflict of spying on him as she's suppose to and protecting him. When her loyalty is questioned and [perhaps she protects him from a poisoning and warns him to flee or something?] the Cardinal arranges her to be accused of treason and she's imprisioned and tortured? Cardinal offers the sisters a deal, the Master of the Guard's life in exchange for Aniella's but once he's dead he betrays them. Eventually declared a enemy of the state Aniella is taken to the great square and seemingly beheaded but the Fire sister smuggled her out of the city and kept her in a country house, safe. <br/><br/>Loyalties change, the sisters decide to take control from the Cardinal because after all he did he's still not part of them, and uses them. His order to kill Aniella  shows that they are expendable so they work to undermine him and the Sisterhood as a whole swears itself to the Fire mage rather then the Cardinal. <br/><br/>Once the Cardinal is killed the air mage's husband can step into the vacated power spot? Fire mage arranges for her husband's older brother to be murdered so he can be king and she the power in the land. Because she's unable to produce a heir the Aniella ,youngest sister serves as a surrogate. <br/><br/>Purposed idea by Wisti - After she delivers the baby Aniella is faced with a choice of a simple life in the country without her family or returning to the city somehow. She wants to remain 'dead' so there's no questions asked and comes up with the plan to become a courtesan and help her sisters that way. Arguments ensue but she stays adamant because she never wants to fall in love with a man again and this way she can still gather information. Sisters arrange for several places to be bought for her and she alters her appearance and 'arrives' at the city as a courtesan wealthy from somewhere else. Accepts that sisters must snub her in public. Learns how to be a courtesan from M's character. <br/><br/>Other -<br/><br/>Basic skills -<br/>Archery, crossbow, etc.<br/>Daggers.<br/>Rapier. <br/>Horse back riding.<br/>Agility. <br/>Dancing.<br/>Several languages. <br/>Bed play?<br/>Basic knowledge of poisons at least.<br/>Ciphers. <br/><br/><br/>Particular skills~<br/><br/>Kyara - poisons, making them. Perhaps best assassin. <br/>K<br/>Aniella - illusions. <br/></div></div>
