The jewel of Las Vegas, the Antler Crown holds the largest jurisdiction of the Freehold and the most prosperous districts as its fiefdoms. Barred from taking over the mundane businesses that grip the wealthy Strip, Lost have exploded into the criminal underground aspect of the city, sucking the wealth from top-down to redistribute among their number.
Spring embodies rebirth and new beginnings by forging businesses that secure the Freehold community. It is best known for netting loyalty from unstable denizens by offering an oasis to hide, allowing one to look towards building something more.
The court is infamous for a high turnover of monarchs, often subject to assassinations by hungry politicians, or the criminal overlords that successfully follow the money trail. Spring is gluttonous, its people always demanding more.
Knights under this court are stationed in Springvalley, with the expectation of running several neighbourhoods and businesses that support those sworn to their fiefdom.
Spring carries the focus of creating futures, and evolving beyond the limits set by traumas. Desire is the root of ambition, and it is every Lost's responsibility to achieve what they wish for, or the Gentry wins. The Knights are leaders in community-based recovery programs, or feeding the spirit of the Freehold's cultural needs.

The Eternal Maiden: Queen PhiliciaPhilicia is new to the title of Vernal Sovereign, disappearing in the past only to re-emerge from the Hedge with an array of servants and secrets. Whispers say she is the former Goblin Queen of the terrified markets. Before her rise, she is rumored to be the one who truly struck the killing blow against the former Summer monarch, acting as Uriel's advisor and grooming the commander for the position herself. Her seat is brittle, with a deep mistrust of her aggressive rulings sewn among her more traditional subjects. Philicia always appears to be one step ahead of her enemies, and rewards her allies with the bounty of her court. However, the distraction of the lack of true loyalty has left her open to criticism that her rule has not lent to any benefit of the security of the Freehold, and Mr. Chasseur already dominates the hearts of the Emeralds. Philicia is rarely seen in social circles, except for the most important events that demand her presence. Whatever projects she has, it is sure to be as radical and scandalous as the manifestation of her Crown.

The Paragon: Buck ChasseurEvery Spring Court loves their own Jay Gatsby. People speak of him like the true legend he is: the Sunset Prince, Searce, Gilded Aspirant... Buck Chasseur is an all around paragon of the Verdant Court. He spreads his wealth to the masses that give him the time, acting as the Antler Crown's chief propagandist. The satyr is open about his history, with a long background of infiltrating mundane hunters, and reveling in the danger. In defiance of his Arcadian taint, the deer has the highest body count of Hedge monstrosities that would shame even a veteran Spear. A lord of the hunt and bacchanal revelry, the man rarely emerges from his bombastic legend. When a courtier claims to know him, they often struggle with the details beyond fleeting encounters. Settling in Vegas was the only natural conclusion of his retirement. So why not the Crown?

Nimbus, Knight of Rains and ClavigerThe Knight of Rains constructs the oasis, for the Lost seeking sanctuary. He funnels his family's wealth into his fiefdom's businesses to create healing centers and social programs for managing addiction and getting off the streets. Known for his mind always being elsewhere, the Frenchman socialite is widely regarded as harmless in the political arena. He indulges his inner circle and is known to experiment with the opportunity to experience something new. This makes the Elemental's actions unpredictable, and no two interactions are the same. As a Claviger he serves as the bodyguards and protector of high-ranking Emerald Courtiers, especially the current former Vernal Sovereign. He is a talented musician that graces the court with a variety of different instrumental performances, favouring the harp.

Rudolph Chugunkin, Knight of CoinThe Knight of Coin is a known prominent member of the Russian Mob, and acts as one of Queen Philicia's chief enforcers. The Wizened's reputation sweeps the Freehold, with whispers of his stranglehold on the underworld, but never to his face. The weeds of his influence pop within gambling rackets, bookies, and loan sharks dating back several recessions. Las Vegas addictions are his hunting ground and keeps the healthy undercurrent of blood money demanded by the Emerald Court.

Alexandrite, Knight of Masks
The Knight of Masks appeared on the scene out of nowhere during the winter of 2020. Charged with the task of tracking the social pulse of the largest Vegas court, the spymaster is whispered to have many alliances that crosses political boundaries. They act as frontline preventative measures to the social mire of Spring's volatile relationships with the underworld. Before their noble role, Alexandrite was known as an honourable and effective Claviger who served the Antler Crown who held their peers to a high standard of behaviour and responsible adherence to the Verdant Creed. When the chaos of changing monarchs plagued the court after the death of their founder, Lamassu, Alexandrite became more aloof and rarely seen with shocked rumours of taking on deadly mercenary contracts that opposed what was known about them.  **Alexandrite rarely if ever wears a consistent Mask. The image on the furthest right is their true human Mask.
