Rhinestone Carnival has three faces. One it presents to the world, one it presents to those ostensibly in the know, and one that is only known to it's members. The Rhinestone carnival, to the world, is a place free of the trials and travails and petty hatreds set between the races! A place where human and haunt, greenskin and fae, beastfolk and dragonkin can all find common ground and be entertained! They prevent the worst things from the haunts from going into the south, and provide refuge for all who seek escape from prejudice within their tent bound homes!
To those in the know, a darker story is told. Visitors and refugees vanish, the blame placed on wild haunt creatures. Their true destination is the deeper parts of the attractions, their screams hidden by lovely music and cheering, screaming crowds as they are broken down, and studied, for any advantage or knowledge that might be gleaned from them. Their souls and bodies used in dark rituals that are then sold to many others. This is where the true wealth of Rhinestone Carnival is based.
Finally, to the carnies themselves, they know they owe loyalty to only one thing, and that is the carnival that gave them home. For they were shunned by all else, cast out by all else, only the Carnival gave them shelter. All others are not even play pieces on the grand stage being set by their princess, who's will guides them into beautiful, maniacal, laughter and glee. Their end goal? Only those who run away to join the circus ever find out.
