+## Emperor gift during Moritani Extortion — 29 October 2026
+
+In supported Basic and Advanced games with Moritani, the Emperor can give
+spice to the current Extortion payer when they are mutual allies. Allowing
+the gift updates the payer's balance before the original pay-or-decline choice;
+Karama cancellation transfers nothing. The ordered queue, collected five-spice
+bank award and physical Terror token remain committed through that response.
+
+The [publisher FAQ, p. 5](https://www.gf9games.com/dune/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Dune-FAQ-Nov-2020.pdf)
+allows the Emperor to give allied spice directly for any reason, collected
+immediately. The user-authorized revised Advanced sheet, physical p. 31,
+explicitly says any time. Applying the Basic gift at this decision is a
+provisional online timing interpretation. This initial entry is limited to the
+Ecaz/Moritani expansion with native Moritani and classic factions, without
+independent Ecaz cards, optional modules or competing parents. An automated payer can still act before
+a human Emperor chooses to gift; broader priority and other interrupted windows
+remain unfinished. [Runtime cases](../tests/emperor-extortion-gift.test.ts).

+The publisher FAQ permits direct allied spice gifts for any reason; the
+authorized Advanced sheet explicitly permits them at any time. The first clean
+Extortion payment interruption uses that rule in both modes; the Basic timing
+composition is provisional, and the original queue and token stay committed.
