Regular

This much money will only get a ruby.
You can tell something is amiss. A true royal consort would never call herself "the favored one," any more than a true Sultan would announce his name. And with so few coins—barely enough for one modest ruby—you are certain this woman is no concubine of standing.

You tell Jenna to craft a ruby necklace nonetheless. For most, rubies are treasures too hot to touch, but for a true favorite of the Sultan, such a stone might bring only the faintest joy—no larger than a fingernail.

Jenna sends the necklace to the palace. The supposed consort never replies—not even with a note, let alone a promised reward...

Disheartened, Jenna gives you all the meager profits from the commission. Perhaps you've been deceived by a woman with no right to her claim... or perhaps you've made an investment. Who can say?

Simple Pleasures
You sigh. A true royal consort would never call herself "the favored one."

The Sultan's harem is full of unhappy women, for he forbids them from finding joy in anything—or anyone—other than himself. Perhaps the woman who placed this order is lying, but what harm is there in making her a little happier?

You suggest that Jenna use sapphires. They may not be treasures fit for a consort, but they are certainly worthy of a Vasir's wife. Whoever is behind the order will surely be pleased.

Jenna nods and sets to work. She crafts a fine gold bracelet, embedded with large, radiant sapphires, and confidently sends it to the palace. But the so-called favorite never replies—not even with a note...

Still, that's exactly what you expected. Jenna generously gives you all the profit from the order, and the matter ends there. Perhaps you've been deceived by a woman who was never allowed near the Sultan's chambers... or perhaps you've made an investment. Who can say?

Only Diamonds Befit the Sultan's Beloved
Nothing less than diamonds can express proper respect for the Sultan's most favored consort!

Though the deposit she sent is nowhere near enough to cover the cost, you still advise Jenna to use this precious stone, and even provide her with a rare, large diamond of your own. Jenna is thrilled. Even a jeweler of her skill rarely gets to touch such a magnificent gem. Soon, she completes a beautifully carved diamond ring and sends it to the palace. But the so-called favorite never replies—not even with a note...

"She must be a fraud!" Jenna exclaims in despair. That "beloved consort" only paid 9 Gold Coins as a deposit, yet you lost such a huge gem over it! Through tears, Jenna insists on giving you the entire payment, hoping to make up for your loss. At least, she says, crafting the piece itself brought her a moment of genuine joy.
