To run a Nobilis game, the players along with their Hollyhock God develop plots and campains based on the Nobilis extencive lore (or if prefered, using an alternative setting). The main premise can vary; the playable characters can be newmade Nobles trying to cope with their ennoblement, veterans trying to solve their own problems within their chancels, or soldiers of the Valdem Bellum fighting the Excrucian onslaught.
