The Night Court: Mandrake House ATC

Welcome to Terre d'Ange and to Mont Nuit which beckons you just beyond the revelry of Night's Doorstep to The Court of Night Blooming Flowers. Here let me show you around to the various houses and then you may tell me which suits you best...

This is the eleventh in a series of 13 ATC's. These will be fun swaps and by the end of the series you should have an ATC representing each of the thirteen houses of The Court of Night Blooming Flowers: Alyssum, Balm, Bryony, Camellia, Cereus, Dahlia, Eglantine, Gentian, Heliotrope, Jasmine, Mandrake, Orchis, and Valerian.

The next is Mandrake House. Although not for everyone, it does cater to those with more specific tastes. For anyone longing to give themselves over to Kushiel's rod and weal this is the house for you. The Adepts here are skilled in the finer arts of pain and pleasure. You will feel the loving lash of the whip and the freedom that can only come from being bound in restraints. Come, and let Mandrake take you over.

Please make an ATC that represents Mandrake House and it's dominant qualities. You may draw or paint, collage, stamp, whatever your creative self can think up. You may choose to use pressed flowers, bold or soft colors or use the house motto "yield all" on your ATC, it really is up to you and anything you can create. Just make it something you would love to have in your collection!

Please have a 4.9 higher to join no unresolved 1's or recent 3's in the last 6 months. If you have any questions or comments please pm me or leave a them below. Happy swapping and enjoy!

Please note: These ATC's may also have a mature theme depending upon how your partner interprets the house and what they are about. Mandrake and Valerian are most likely to bring out this issue. (Tasteful nudity is acceptable for the ATC's in this series).

Anyone not familiar with Jacqueline Carey's novels may wish to do some research online regarding the Kushiel's Legacy series for inspiration. If anyone would like to start reading the books Kushiel's Dart is the first of the books and it is an amazing story!
