Commitment: 10  motes

The Ten Kings' Brilliant Flag is a 10-foot-tall Wrackstaff composed of the five Jades. Five faces of salt, Adamant, Starmetal, Moonsilver and Orichalcum are carved onto the surface between the grip, which is wrapped in dark leather, and the flag, which is made of regal red silk and adorned with electrum linings and purple threads. Once attuned, a shining image which best represents the Exalt's innermost self appears on the flag, glowing in the color associated with the wielder's Exaltation.

While the flag shines, as long as the Exalt's subordinates follows their leader's orders, they are incapable of failure and it is impossible to be otherwise. All collaborative actions related to Bureaucracy, Performance, Sail or War automatically succeeds with the minimum number of successes required before the dice are rolled, given that there is no dissension or disagreement among the ranks and that the action is in accordance with the Exalt's (current) Destiny, Doom or Whispers. Against contested rolls, the group enjoys automatic successes equal to the highest of the Exalt's Essence or Conviction. Also, while his subordinates sees the brilliant flag--which cannot be obscured by mundane means, including distance or poor visibility--the orders are delivered without vagueness. The size of the group affected by this Wrackstaff's magic may be as small as a Solar-Lunar mate or an entire army (the attunement cost increases by twice the Magnitude of the affected group.)

The flagpole is extremely clumsy as a weapon due to its immense size. When used in combat, use the regular stats of a Wrackstaff with no MM bonus.
