	According to historians, Liolesa had arrived arrayed in Galare blue and silver… but her gown had involved a train, and the diamonds on it had been pricked out in a star map that had encompassed not just their world, but all the sectors near them, and even had embroidered constellations. Two scrolls of maps, and both of them stunning: one of the Alliance that had included the Eldritch world, and one of Escutcheon in exquisite detail, available because of the satellites Liolesa had been instrumental in procuring during her preparation for the coronet. Her promise, according to the historian, had been ‘relevance, context, and the future.’<ref name="hw-21" />		According to historians, Liolesa had arrived arrayed in Galare blue and silver… but her gown had involved a train, and the diamonds on it had been pricked out in a star map that had encompassed not just their world, but all the sectors near them, and even had embroidered constellations.

At the time of Liolesa's actual investiture, the Eldritch were not aware of the Alliance; her actual concerns at the time were not the Eldritch's extinction, but their stratification into an unsustainable society. <ref name="mp-pv">''[[ Major Pieces (Fiction) \| Major Pieces]]'', "Prophet's Vigil"</ref>

			Sediryl wore a long-sleeved blouse, delicately pleated in dozens of narrow verticals, and buttoned with pearls at her throat and wrists; her leggings were a fabric that shifted hue depending on the angle, from deepest blue to abyssal black. The boots were perhaps better suited to riding than mucking in a garden plot. Over this, she wore a dark blue vest and riding coat like the ones she’d favored in the Alliance when she’d been acting as Liolesa’s ambassador, formal, tailored pieces. One string of pearls, wound into her hair; two pearl earrings; and the secret rampant.
			* "My first gift to you is food enough to fill your bellies without so much reliance on foreign trade."
			* "And with your aid, I give you my gift: the chance to become once again what we were meant to be. Helpmeets to our people. True lieges, with work worth waking up to. [...] A say in how that future affects the people who have granted you their trust with their allegiance."
