    COTY

    Assailant -- Year 226

    QOTY

    "But the dream, the echo, slips from him as quickly as he had found it and as consciousness comes to him (a slap and not the gentle waves of oceanic tides), it dissolves entirely. His muscles relax as the cold claims him again, as the numbness sets in, and when his grey eyes open, there’s nothing but the faint after burn of a dream often trod and never remembered." --Brigade, written by Laura

    As the onyx stallion considers his thesis, Jesper finds himself torn. He is the Warrior King's grandson. He carries the blood of a monarch in his veins. Except, he was not hand-raised by Brennen. He neither asks to be treated as royalty, nor does he behave in such a manner. He prides himself as an active member of the kingdom earning his way to the top versus demanding ranks based on entitlement. At last, he decides his own experiences will best support his position.

    A hand-raised heir would be chosen, by a monarch, just as one would select a herd member from the ranks of their kingdom. The selection is based upon qualities possessed and, not blood ties or, favors owed. A hand-raised heir is chosen from among all of the kingdom's children to be groomed as the next leader. Hand-raising the next monarch is invaluable to a kingdom.

    From a very young age, you can instill a strong sense of loyalty. This loyalty would not just be to the monarch's ideals and morals but, also, to the land and, its people. A monarch raised among his or, her people will better command the trust of the governed. The people will be familiar with the prospective monarch and, vice-versa. Since the foal will be from among the members' progeny, he or, she, will represent the whole of the people. A foal will spend his or, her, whole childhood learning the ways of the kingdom and, its members. He or, she, will respect the land, the people and, what the monarchy stands for in relation to both. This close relationship between monarch and governed ensures stability and unity within the kingdom.

    A child, hand-raised by a monarch, offers the opportunity to educate, shape and mold a future. A child is more receptive to learning. Thus, the proper ways of a King or, Queen, shall be taught versus risking the development of his or, her, own views as a result of unguided maturation or, impulsive and, risky strategies. Hand-raising your heir allows the monarch to control what is taught and, how it is presented. A monarch may better guarantee that his or, her, responsibilities land with a qualified individual. Hand-raising your heir is a calculated and highly beneficial decision which benefits the kingdom and, its people.
