The royal-black sigil turns above the altar, hungry and bright. Moonfire licks its edges as Tululu stands within reach of the crown's promise.
Tululu's Mother
If you take Vaelith's crown, you must bind it with a living vow. Without one, it will drink you hollow.
The Crestbound Warden tightens their grip on the spear, as if the truth itself has weight. The Ash and Gold Dragon lowers its head, watching Tululu for a command.
The Crestbound Warden
The shrine yields its judgment. But a vow must be spoken, and kept, or the crown consumes the unbound.
Tululu
Tululu claims the crown, and binds it with a vow.
At Tululu's words, the sigil flares and hangs still, measuring the promise. The altar stone splits with pale light, revealing the crown's path and the cost of wearing it.

SUCCESS (Legendary Magic, rolled +0)
Tululu lifts her spell blades before the altar, and the royal-black sigil answers with a cold, eager pulse. Moonfire gathers in the air, then splits, as if waiting for a second heart to seal the vow.
Tululu
Tululu calls the Vaelith heir to her side, and declares their bond as the living vow.
The shrine air tears open in a silver seam. Navana steps through it, drawn by her summons, and the sigil sharpens at once, recognizing the bond between them.
Tululu's Mother
That is the form of it. Shared blood, shared claim, shared burden.
Navana reaches Tululu without hesitation, one hand lifting toward the blades, the other toward the crown’s glow. The sigil threads black light between them, then into steel and spirit alike.
The Crestbound Warden
The vow holds. The crown accepts two names where it once hungered for one.
The ash at the altar rises in a slow spiral, then settles. The crown’s path is no longer separate from Tululu’s will, and the shrine falls still, waiting for what she commands next.
