Ghyll:Paramount Queen
Dibbed at last, dibbed at last, Thank Ghyll Almighty, it's dibbed at last. --John Cowan 12:54, 4 Apr 2005 (EDT)
The usual quotations:
Rancticirchiretic, on the other hand, holds that aquentravalkeration was used solely by the royal line of the Nitenmangrey, and was a process by which the Paramount Queens ceremonially married the land. Supetupheraraphes of course rejects this theory in toto, as he denies that the Nitenmangrey were ruled by monarchs at all, and interprets the relevant hieroglyphs as meaning "socially prominent persons".
The foolish notion of Rancticirchiretic that the Conflict That Is Not Happening began as a competition between rival claimants to the Paramount Queenship of the Nitenmangrey, based on their respective styles of aquentravalkeration, has been universally -- and justly -- scorned. The Conflict, whatever it is or is not, cannot be validly projected nine centuries into the past; that would reduce the distinction between history and mythology to a patent absurdity.
The Nitenmangrey were very formative in our current concepts of governance, creating the notions of the Hive-Lord, the Paramount Queen, and the Parliament. The Parliament, in particular, is considered a true innovation, and survives to this day, in our Parliament, with many of our strangest parliamentary customs being vaguely attributed to tradition and nothing more.
Threel is also noted for its peaceful demeanor and somewhat sanguine attitude about everything. This is likely due to the fact that almost every aspect of life in Threel is catered, served, provided for a modest fee, or built into the package. The town has been the official retirement community for the Hive-Lords and Paramount Queens for as long as the town has been established. Therefore, every occupant of the seaside resort is treated as if they were a former Lord or Queen.
Wadjidir typically remain anonymous until retirement, at which time they usually become gentlemen of leisure, living off their ill-gotten but well-laundered gains. They are typically protected from further prosecution by an edict of the Paramount Queen.
