Adventures and supplements based on high society or nobility?

[Vegon]

Following a recent thread on system-agnostic or usable material in any system, I noted a lack of material outside of monster dungeons and shabby looking, thief-filled cities.

Is there material where the focus of the adventure is to move between political plots? Banquets and parties?

I know that most systems are based on combat and killing monsters, but surely there must be a campaign where the framework that justifies those combats are the betrayals of a court or something like that.

So... any campaign or setting based on the high society and the internal plots of it?

One that came to mind immediately was Court of Blades; which has a thin overlay of PbtA and loosely inspired by Italy's city-states.

Is there a way to reskin Witchlight? That’s supposed to allow you to solve problems without combat.

Power Behind the Throne is part of Warhammers "Enemy Within" Campaign and is focussed on social and political machinations with occasional outbursts of violence.

I ran Council of Thieves years ago and it's all about political intrigue:

War for the Crown AP by Paizo as well as Ultimate Intrigue supplement.

Legends of the Five Rings can certainly support it, especially if you pick up the "Winter Court" series.
7th Sea can too, especially if you deal with Montaigne or Vodacce-based characters.

I think Amber diceless may fall in this category, but not with nobles but immortal individuals?

Harn can be run entirely on nobles endless scheming; its incredibly detailed, but firmly feudal rather than medieval. Still, you have succession crisis's, religious schisms, national pressures, and good old land claim disputes. Grognards of the system play for years and never leave the same 5 hexes (25 mile area).
