“To rule, adored by one’s subjects, is the lot of a kind or a queen, just as servitude and suffering is the lot of those less worthy. But which of you is which? Some shine, catching the eye of all who know them. Some are better ignored. Others, well, perhaps they would better the world by removing themselves from it.
Which of those gathered here will you favor? Which would you do anything to protect? Give your gems to them, and them only.
Ah, I can see some of you hiding behind your teams, hoping for others to shield you. That won’t do. That won’t do at all. You may converse, but the decisions you make tonight shall each be your own. And, what’s more, you are not allowed to give a gem to a member of your own team just yet.
Then, there are knights, of course. Sworn to protect, not to rule. Some may seek to rise above their station, but their path is harder. It will take a gift of two gems for them to advance.
At the end of the night, those with wealth and acclaim to spare shall be crowned, and those forgotten by their peers shall fall. Less than three gems, and you are nothing. Ten or more, and you rise above all the rest.
