IMG the Player Character emerged from a heroquest to obtain the Mantle of Sovreinty (or the Crown of Tyranny or something like that). One character realised that whoever seized actual power had actually seized the Mantle of sovreignty and that it wasn't really a physical thing. Anyway, this character was a Uleria Priestess, she claimed to possess the Mantle of Sovreignty to assembled Magi (at this point the post of Hierophant was empty, last one killed in Battle of Chaos) whilst casting Community and giving the Oration of her life (a critical success) . She was promptly made Hierophant (a woman! shock horror!) and immediatly didn't declare the Red Goddess to be Forbidden, much to some other characters annoyance (its a Lurve thing). Anyway, that was MG.
