Zephyrion nodded.
"Resources will be distributed periodically, and every house will have an equal opportunity to acquire them. What does that tell you?"
The room fell silent as everyone considered his words, their expressions gradually turning thoughtful. Even Nedra's irritation faded slightly as she began thinking.
