Toil
Toil X is a numeric Loaded Keyword that gives the owner of that card a chance to modify its Twilight Cost by -X when it is played by exerting one or more characters of that card's Culture. You cannot exert the same character multiple times, but you also are not forced to perform any exertions at all if you can otherwise afford the hefty Twilight Cost normally associated with such cards.
Rules Entries[edit]
When you play a card that has the toil keyword, you may reduce its twilight cost by the number specified. You do this by exerting one of your characters of the same culture as that card.
