So the big question now is what happens to her? Is she on her knees after drinking from a poisoned goblet? Is Teledgi moving in for the killing blow? Is the lower class of Ul’dah so upset that they’d result to killing the Sultana? Did she simply drop something and go to pick it up?
To me it looked like she was making an address to everyone; kneeling in respect for her guests. I don't think she'd calmly look up if there was any imminent danger. The other leaders shock/head turns felt like a different scene.

I actually wonder if this is all part of Teledji Adeledjis plan (justasplanned.jpg), right before the tea party scene is a scene with him hoping Nanamo will be a good Sultana until the end... To me that implied her plan is exactly what he wants, and her plan didn't really make sense to me... Turn Ul'dah into a Republic? Teledji Adeledji has a massive following at this point, surely he'd have the most to gain from the people electing individuals? I'm thinking she'll get Teledji Adeledji to reveal his true motives unknowingly in front of everyone to turn the people against him and we'll end up with Nanamo being an elected leader rather than a Sultana. For the Culinarian quest that would be a simple change of her title.
