Ok, here's the directive: attend the gala under the guise of Duke Rhinecliff. Feel free to present whatever gift you feel would be appropriate to the Wizard-Queen (the Duke will ensure that Nyx is prepared for this). He'd recommend she wear gloves for the occasion, but will have a substitute signet ring given to her just in case.

This is probably the kinda situation where Nyx would be in literal dagger-stabbing range of the Wizard-Queen, so its probably also a test...but it's a test that he wouldn't mind too much if she failed. ;3
