Overview

      More than one hundred years ago, a boy named Carter Lysander Logan was born in the slums of New York City, and he was a musician.

      Nowadays, he's the Devil Himself.

      He's worn a hell of a lot of faces over the years. He's been a lounge singer, a hippie, a soldier, a rock star, a man, a woman, and many other things besides. But under the shifting faces, it's always been Carter, an ancient and powerful Spring Courtier with a knack for tempting others into chasing their desires and an endless hunger for indulging his own. And, as the years have gone on, his connection to the Wyrd has only grown.

      Now, more than a century since he began, Carter is finding that he is running out of vices to indulge. His temptations of others have never ceased, and likely never will, but he himself is finding that the world holds less and less to hold his attention. Every day, he sits in a jaded fog, while every night Arcadia calls to him in his dreams. The power of the Wyrd pulses through his veins, and ignoring it is getting more and more difficult by the moment.

      But now, in Fort Brunsett, he has found something worth living for once again. At the turning of the seasons, Carter Logan has married Zillah, Moon Queen of the freehold, the perfect muse he has always searched for. Excitement has returned to his life - just in time for the Spring Crown to settle on his brow.

      Fate's Harvest has a new King, it seems. Whether or not it will survive his rule is less certain.

Soundtrack

Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste

Cult of Dionysus - The Orion Experience

Yesterday I heard you say
Your lust for life has gone away
It got me thinking, I think I feel a similar way
And that's sad (that's sad)
So let's make a decision, start a new religion
Yeah, we're gonna build a temple to our love
Orgiastic dances, nymphs in trances
Yeah, we'll be the envy of the gods above
I'm feeling devious
You're looking glamorous
Let's get mischievious
And polyamorous
Wine and women and wonderful vices
Welcome to the Cult of Dionysus

The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie - Colter Wall

Well, Reverend, Reverend, please come quick
'Cause I've got something to admit
I met a man out in the sticks - a good old mess
He drove a Series Ten Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip
Don't you know the devil wears a suit and tie
Saw him driving down the 61 in early July
White as a cotton field and sharp as a knife
I heard him howling as he passed me by
And he said
I know you, I know you young man
I know you by the state of your hands
You're a six-string picker, just as I am
Let me learn you something
I know a few turns to make all the girls dance

Candy Store - Heathers: The Musical

(I like!) lookin' hot, buyin' stuff they cannot
(I like!) drinkin' hard, maxin' Dad's credit card
(I like!) skippin' gym, scarin' her, screwin' him
(I like!) killer clothes, kickin' nerds in the nose
If you lack the balls, you can go play dolls
Let your mommy fix you a snack
Or you could come smoke, pound some rum and Coke
In my Porsche with the quarterback
Honey, whatcha waitin' for?
Welcome to my candy store
Time for you to prove you're not a loser any more
And step into my candy store

Monster - The Infatuations

You should run, babe
You look way too calm to be in danger
With your little model fingers all over me
Didn't your mama tell ya not to talk to strangers?
Well, what do you call me?
You don't know me like you think you do
No, baby
If you did, then you would see the truth
That girl, I'm a monster
I'm the big bad wolf
I'll devour all your fears and inhibitions
Yes, it's true
I'm what your mama told you would eat you up inside
I can tell you're not afraid, but baby you should run and hide
From the monster and the wolf

The Devil Went Down to Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band

The Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
He was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playing it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said
Boy let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the Devil his due
I bet a fiddle o' gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you
