Outcome

Prior

This rite has no prior outcome.

Regular

You suggest amethysts.
For women without the means to protect themselves, too much beauty often means too much trouble.

You tell Jenna to keep the amethyst, make the design modest, use good silver, and set the stones well. One day, if these women ever leave the harem, they might sell the jewelry for a living.

Jenna nods in agreement.

Not long after, the old eunuch takes her work—a batch of simple silver collars designed for ease of movement, with no fragile details, each adorned with several lovely amethysts.

The slave girls will be delighted with these pieces.

Action:

You suggest emeralds.
But you make sure to emphasize that her designs should be more discreet. Those gems are quite valuable, and keeping them subtle will help avoid unwanted attention. Later, when the slave girls are released from the harem, they can sell the pieces for a bit of money to start a new life. After all, they own almost nothing; their jewelry and clothes are often considered their only personal property.

Jenna nods, fully understanding what you meant.

Not long after, the old eunuch takes her work—a few emerald pendants that can be worn with any chain. They are the kind most easily sold in the markets, almost designless, with gems that can be removed simply by prying off the copper mount.

The slave girls will be delighted with these pieces.

Action:

You suggest rubies.
When a slave girl catches the Sultan's eye, her fate is overturned in an instant... Wasn't Zazie once a slave herself? If they can cloak themselves in brilliance, perhaps one day they'll rise high enough to serve as your allies...

Jenna inclines her head, vowing to craft jewels that outshine all others.

The old eunuch takes her work, frowning as he weighs the pieces. "Rubies, you say? And the only one?"

Yes. Rubies. The only one.

Perhaps these jewels will help some ambitious girl claw her way onto the Sultan's gilded bed. After all, you've already set her first rival in her path...
