Editing Coronation and Investigation (section)

==Coronation Day==

[Phoenix 30]

The Coronation mostly goes off without incident.  Wendy gets oaths of loyalty from all of the other contenders, and from her mother.  Not from all of her siblings. Violet puts a DI or two of Blessing into the ritual, not a schtick of You Are Queen.  Then there’s a half hour break, for snacks, and then the Transfer of Office happens.  Princess Volga and her fiance say that Stella can come tomorrow to look at the sword. 

Karen gets up to conduct the Transfer of Office.  Many of the people are the same, although it’s fewer Nobles, and there are also some Captains of Mercenary groups that give loyalty.  The Lord Captain Commander’s Men don’t, but some paladins that serve in her armies do.  (Karen does not; Violet does not.)   Karen doesn’t spend any DI on the ritual.  

Scout keeps an eye on DI; Karen, Violet, and Greg (Nameless) are the three biggest priests; 12 DI give or take.  Earnest has 8 or 9.  Everyone else is smaller than the priests in the party.  

Gale keeps an eye on the High Priest of the Nameless - he seems to be rolling his eyes about as much as Vidan does in the Transfer of Office, but he is not doing anything obviously suspicious. 

Gale flirts at the party and meets a charming young man who does not get mugged overnight when she goes home with him. ([[Frederick]])
