Ring 2: The HighBrowse
Description
HALL OF PATRONAGE Ring 2's institution where the Gilded Cage is formalized. Bonding Hall creates patronage bonds linking servants to masters, allowing servants to exceed Tier 2. Patronage types: Noble House (prestigious), Temple/God (spiritual), Guild (practical), Individual (variable), Cult (fastest, most dangerous). Bonding ritual creates permanent magical link—patron amplifies servant's power in exchange for service. The Hall registers all bonds, mediates disputes, schedules ceremonies. A gateway to power—but also a prison where dreams are purchased with service. The Gilded Cage made visible.
