Masquerade Social Mechanics explains how the Hunting Grounds turn status, costume, sponsorship, and performance into survival pressure. The masquerade is not only a party setting. It is a rules environment where being seen, invited, hunted, or publicly humiliated can change tactical options. The recommended scope is Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade, with primary setting pressure around Sixth Floor, the Hunting Grounds. The larger continuity arc is hunters, prey status, social performance, sponsor politics, masquerade spaces, faction setup, and the shift from survival dungeon to celebrity blood sport.
