Painted faces walked though painted halls. Bound by tradition hair was braided, conversation initiated, lessons taught.
A king must be a blacksmith.
A king must not see his brides face before they wed.
A king must have only one child.
None of the palace's inhabitants may lave it.
The belt is only worn in a coronation.
And before all other traditions,
Trust the adviser.
Only he knows what goes on beyond the walls. To him the king is just someone to hold the seal and sine a name.
Surrounded by tradition the kings did not act.
Thus Del fell the slothful nature of its kings.
