The Grimoire of

Emporos of Troy

Emporos of Troy is a Merinita in the Theban Tribunal. Though not Gently Gifted, he loves interacting with people, and has a keen mind for bargaining and mercantile pursuits. This negotiating prowess is usually only leveraged against faeries, but he does delight in speaking with mundane merchants and artisans. Despite his jovial nature, and Merinita training, Emporos actually doesn't have a strong urge to fall into the faerie-positive expectations of his House, instead viewing them as useful tools and potential batteries for his magic - though congnizant faeries tend to gain respect from him.

He is specialized in Corpus magic, and views himself as a healer (though his Focus is in Aging magic, including longevity). He deeply enjoys making bargains with people, though people violating his bargains or his hospitality drives him into fits of murderous rage. His sigil is the darkening of colors.

Visage of Sprightly Youth (MuCo 5)

R: Pers, D: Sun, T: Ind

This spell makes the caster appear as a younger version of himself. This spell was designed offhandedly when Emporos's young apprentice grew old enough to find interest in boys, and helped him leverage his Satyr heritage to keep her interest during teaching lessons. Emporos later made a mask that performs this effect (MuCo 10, range touch)

(Base 3, +2 Sun)

Mark of Blood (PeCo 15)

Bargain with the Heart (PeCo 30)
