Court Lute Player of the Este

✦ Your Soul Summary ✦

You played lute in the court of the Este family in Ferrara, which meant you were present at almost every significant dinner, celebration, and private gathering for sixteen years, providing the music that was background to everyone else's conversations and foreground to no one's. You learned, from this position at the edge of powerful rooms, to understand the dynamics of power in ways that the people exercising it never needed to — you watched careers ascend and collapse, alliances form and break, and love affairs begin and end, all of it visible from behind the sound of strings.
