Ending an Episode
After the action of an Episode is over, there is a final phase of the Episode in which characters earn Experience Points. This Experience Point gain is based on the character growth the character experienced through the lessons that they learned from the Episode, and takes the form of a ‘Letter To The Princess’ (or, alternatively, an entry in a group diary). This phase of an Episode, as well as Experience Points and how characters advance through purchasing Edges with them, is covered in detail in the Character Advancement chapter of this book.
