Description

September, 1700, Rome. Atto Melani - once a famous castrato soprano, today a criminal in the service of King Louis XIV, sunlight King - mingles with additional high-ranking visitors in the apartment of Cardinal Spada. Despite being there to commemorate the Primary's nephew's wedding, the primary subject of discussion may be the serious disease of the Pope and the approaching death of Charles II, King of Spain. Charles doesn't have heir and Kaiser Leopold of Austria and King Louis are each challenging the throne, with all the Vatican allegedly mediating.
