The kings and queens of Old and New

Time of decision and contemplating had just passed. The moment of truth is close at hand as final verdict is passed down to each of the beings in the grand hall. All eyes were fixed on the wall tapestry as the herald remind all in present the tales of chivalry of the old kings and queens of legend. Soon a lineage of new kings and queens will be form in the Land of Udsoc. They will bear the name of royal title.  For one year, they will need to heed to the rules of their subjects and the teachings of the One true God. 

With each names announced by the herald, a loud cheer of Hooray! erupted in the crowd. They had accepted each of new royal kin in terms of their merit and status. One by one the royal kin walked forward and placed their right palm on the sacred relic. In this moment, they swore an oath that binds them for the period of their ruling. One who break this oath, will not only be expelled but also be chastised in front their loyal subjects. 

Soon the oath ceremony ended, ten new chairs made by finest woods from the Forests of Tutenkhamuzam were brought into the hall. One by one the seats were filled and on each chairs names of the elected were engraved. Below each name, a ancient rune symbols were engraved only seen by the expert eye stated "He/she who seat on this chair, is blessed and will achieve Greatness" . A low humming buzz echoes across the room as the newly elected began to sit on their new chair.  The crowd began to stir as the herald informed that crowning ceremony is near to the end.

Now, the crowning ceremony had completed another cycle, their names will not whispered in the lowest cells and dungeons but in every songs and poetry across the land.
