Merry Christmas - Ascendancy - 12-25-2024
Merry Christmas, First Age.
As a fun game, what is a christmas present that your character could receive that they would actually enjoy.
Nik: He'd enjoy one of the rare First Edition copies of the book, "The Prince" by Niccolò Machiavelli (1532).
About the book
"The Prince" (Il Principe) by Niccolò Machiavelli was first published in 1532, five years after the author's death. The initial print run was limited, and due to the book's controversial nature—leading to its inclusion in the Catholic Church's Index of Prohibited Books in 1559—many copies were lost or destroyed over time.
As of recent reports, only about 11 to 12 first-edition copies are known to exist, primarily housed in institutional libraries, especially in Italy. Notably, a previously unknown first-edition copy surfaced in a private collection and was scheduled for auction by Sotheby's in London between November 28 and December 12, 2024, with an estimated value of up to $375,000.

Thalia is probably easy to please. Anything handmade, even an ugly Christmas sweater
