>You juggle the Red Spinel over to the jeweler. He has a look at it while you speak with the knight. "Mmm, I see," he says. "Then I hope this shall be illuminating."
>"Hmm, there's another one of them in here, too," says the Jeweler.

>"Well, it's not anything special for a stone to have weird scratch marks in them," says the jeweler, as he turns the red spinel over in his hands. "But if you have a whole load with this kind of flaw in them, that'd be seelie work, probably."

>"The furthest out our maps go are Carthage and Italia," says Sir Kay. "If neither of those sound familiar, there's no point in bothering. But, I suppose the heart of the matter is simple: why should I trust you to do something that, to the observer, looks suspiciously like raising the banner of the Bloody Prince against King Pendragon once again?"

>"Not as such," says Sir Kay. "Rather, it would serve as a potent symbol for anyone deciding to try and challenge Lord Pendragon, taking the weapon and claiming to be some lost heir. After that, they can wear or cast away Edmund's legacy as they please, they've managed to make some claim of legitimacy."
