Keep the Queen’s Secrets – or Else
GM Necios presents us with a scene from Queen Daukhera’s day, which was far more happy of a day for her than her employee, in “Secrets and Spies” at the Officials. (Moral of the story? You better keep Her Majestical Royalness’ secrets…)

Suddenly, a tiny gnome dressed in pitch black comes rushing, sliding, even tumbling down the mountainside desperately clutching something in his hand until – WHAM! – he slams into a thick wall of essence that Daukhera, who had materialized mere moments before, conjured to stop him in his slippery tracks.“You can’t keep this ancient glory a secret!” the little one hollers in protest, now having dropped the trinket in favor of tending a broken leg. Through his pain, he howls, “The people deserve this power in their own hands!”
“The people deserve what I say,” snaps Daukhera. “They need to quit assuming my intentions are evil, especially that snooty ‘Highness in the East with her fancy proclamations and endless exposition of propriety.” Her eyes shift to the gnome and grow narrow. “Now, for you…”
The gnome scrunches his face as if to protect it somehow… and it’s the last thing he ever does. Instantly, he becomes red and black dust upon the glimmering, moonlit snow. The Queen sighs demurely, tugging for a moment on her lip ring, then bends down to retrieve the fallen relic, a faintly glowing core. With a snap of her fingers and a partially malevolent giggle, she dissolves into thin air.
