Fate's Harvest/Crown Blessings
Crown Blessings
Similar to one's Mantle blessing, each Court has a particular blessing for the bearer of its Crown.
The Seasonal Blessings are largely derived from pp.97-8 of CtL, though they have been tailored in minor ways to our House Rules.
The Transitional/Solar Blessings are entirely custom.
| Spring
Blessing of the Green A character who wears the crown of Spring may spend 1 Willpower point to bestow the Blessing of the Green, allowing her to add her Mantle rating as bonus successes to a single roll related to gathering Glamour. The Monarch may use this ability up to a maximum number of times per day equal to her Mantle dots, but individual recipients may only be blessed once per day. The blessing may be cast upon herself, or upon others. If cast upon others, it must be used before the next sunrise or it is lost. |

| Summer
Challenge of the Black Spear This applies in one-on-one combat situations, such as duels. By spending 1 Glamour point, the crowned character receives a bonus to his Initiative equal to his Mantle dots for the duration of the duel, and is not considered surprised by ambushes or other unexpected trickery, though if the duel shifts to a mass combat, the Initiative bonus gained drops to a flat +1. The Monarch may use this blessing a number of times per session equal to his Mantle rating, but it may only be used once against any particular opponent per day. |

| Autumn
Harvest of Whispers Once per day, after contacting staff for verification that the information qualifies for this ability, the Monarch may perform the Harvest of Whispers. For each valuable secret, important truth, revelatory fact or other significant piece of information she has uncovered that day, up to a maximum number equal to her Mantle rating, the character receives 2 Glamour points that are placed in a special pool separate from her regular points. They may only be used to power Contracts/tokens/dream travel or cross into the Hedge. Upon the next sunrise, they fade away to nothing. This Glamour may exceed the character's Wyrd limit. If it ever does, however, the character is considered especially noticeable by creatures which detect Glamour or magical energy. |

| Winter
Feast of Ashes Once per day, the Monarch may devote himself to the Feast of Ashes, converting 1 Glamour to 1 Willpower, up to a maximum number of points equal to his Mantle rating. He may even exceed his normal Willpower limit with these points, though any in excess of that limit are lost upon the next sunrise. In addition, for the remainder of the scene in which this ability is activated, the changeling's Resolve + Composure rolls are effectively increased by a number equal to his Mantle rating. |
