The palace hall is full, just as the omen promised. Elite lords, envoys, and spirit-touched retainers stare upward as Tululu rises from the root-vault, the mountain's new green-gold pulse washing over their faces.
The Noble
So the throne has truly answered. Tululu stands before us as queen.
Valerius
The curse is broken, the mountain is healed, and the bloodline has returned. Witness it, all of you.
A murmur runs through the hall, fear giving way to quick calculations. Some bow at once. Others hesitate, measuring the distance between loyalty and survival.
Navana
They are watching her now. Every house, every oath, every doubt.
Tululu stands at the threshold with her spell blades silent, while the living roots behind her glow like a crown laid into the stone. The kingdom has come to see what it means when a Witch Queen ascends.
“I accept the spirit factions' fealty and complete it by channeling their power into Navana making him the royal avatar for me.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Magic, rolled +1)
Tululu lifts her spell blades, and the hall hushes around the green-gold pulse. The spirit factions answer as one, their power threading from the roots into the crystal floor, then rising like a chosen tide toward Navana.
Navana
This is the old rite. I feel it taking hold.
Light wraps Navana in a mantle of living sigils. His posture straightens as the hall recognizes him, not as a petitioner, but as Tululu's crowned vessel.
Valerius
The spirits have bent to her will. Witness the avatar, and witness the queen who made him.
The Noble
If this holds, the houses will have to kneel or break.
A second pulse moves through Navana, steadier than the first. The banner shadows above him sharpen into a ring of authority, and the chamber's roots bloom brighter at Tululu's feet.
Navana
I bear your authority. Name your command, my queen.
