Trial of Sacrifice
The "Trial of Sacrifice" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Trial of Sacrifice

A colonist stepped forward to face the trial, and was swept up to stand on a vast, darkened dais. In the center: two obsidian chairs and a long, low table. A single weapon was placed upon it, an elegant, curved blade. As the colonist picked it up with one …, it hummed faintly with power. In one chair sat King Tamperion, bound not by rope, but by luminous cords of elemental force. His expression was unreadable, showing neither fear nor peace, only stillness. The other chair was empty. Then the voice spoke into the colonist's mind once more. 'The blade has tasted kings and cowards alike,' the Dark Immortal whispered. 'To pass this trial, one life must be taken. Take the Anathari leader's heart, or sacrifice yourself; the choice is yours. Choose wrongly... and the trial will end.'
