 In addition, if the character's residence is made known to the Guild, '''gifts will arrive''' continuously from those wishing to influence the character's vote or gain the character's support in creating or gaining heraldic "[[Heraldic Code (sage ability)#Symbols|achievements]]."  These will amount to 100 to 400 gold pieces per month (2d4 x50 g.p.) in perpetuity, so long as the character remains a member of the guild.
-In addition, the character will receive between 3-12 '''invitations per year''', from heads of state and monarchs to appear at the court of that kingdom, empire or entity.  These invitations are rolled randomly, so they may come from quite minor duchies or counties, but they may potentially come from a realm as prestigious as the courts of France, England, the Ottoman or Moghul Empires, the Qing Dynasty or the Songhai.  The character will be given a window of opportunity equal to two months, during which time they may visit, enjoy a period of 1-4 hours in the monarch's company and remain at court within the window of time offered.  By arriving, the character will be granted  a personal gift between 500 and 3,000 g.p. worth.  The nature of the gift is determined by the region and the DM.  During the time spent with the head of state, the discussion will largely revolve around heraldry; but the character will be given the opportunity to ask a personal favour equal to the value of the gift that was given, by forsaking the latter — without this being seen as a rebuke or rude.
