And I wonder what Queen the Fey woman was referring to? How much ya'll want to bet that Mace wants to marry Margaret to this Fey lord?

Something you say having no knowledge of the stakes of the wager, what it might have won, and also speaking from a human point of view that is utterly incompatible with how the Fae exist. There's also the simple fact that they're not asking for it to crown him, they're asking for it to wake him because as a Court, they're lost. Letting them continue like this leads down the path to insanity. Bargaining their fealty in exchange for it, a word in perpetuity sworn for as long as we endure (Mythic means that we aren't going to have an end date to our lifespan) that they will respect the laws and customs of the kings of the land. This gives those of the Reach protection against the Fae now, and when we take over will carry through, and give us the Reach Fae on a silver platter. There's no need to court war here. Not when diplomacy can give us everything we want.

They'll say no. Of course they'll say no, I'm pretty sure Fae Queens lose power when swearing to someone else, since they stop being Queens.

Also, they are lying (or rather, telling the truth in an obtuse way) about what they want that Lord of theirs for, as I already explained.

I believe the implication is that there are other Fey candidates to wear that crown, some of them already allied with us to one extent or another.

This is entirely unclear. Like, seriously, it could mean half a dozen different things. That we will wear it, that another we choose might wear it. This needs clarity.
 
I'm inclined to give it to one of the children of the forest because at least we can trust them but no way in hell will we give it up to the fey king.
 
Honestly I dislike the current vote, because it essentially says nothing.

We need a vote that shows skepticism, not some overt attempt at swaying them because that isn't going to work. Figure out what they actually want the crown for, then we can maybe consider dealing. Because right now they are trying to fool us.

Seems like the perfect response to a Fey Lady to me. :p

I wonder how much power we could extract from what seems to be a Major Artifact of Fey origin. I bet our Couatl godling would find it tasty.
 
Hmm. Have we checked that no one has attempted to take the crown? For All we know as we are negotiating here, another fey allied with the lady is attempting to take that crown or something.

I am also pretty curious how that crown got here.
 
I wonder if their is mythic power in that thing. If there is than the proper Dragon thing to do is to eat it.
