It looks very grand, certainly. For the coronation of the Emperor of your kingdom, right?

Re: Rakushun chewitover March 28 2011, 22:27:55 UTC

Well, something like this is actually much less complicated than what an emperor would wear, but this general style would be for such an occasion.

justwannahave March 28 2011, 22:44:09 UTC

Do you get to see at least one coronation per generation?

chewitover March 29 2011, 01:35:49 UTC

Mm, it depends - our kings are immortal, so it's really anyone's guess when one will fall. It's really a better thing if you never see one.

justwannahave March 29 2011, 01:45:14 UTC

So they are immortal and stay that way until they fall? That sounds like a really long term of service with no retirement plan.

A king is more a god than human, really, once they receive the Mandate of Heaven. The only way one can stop being king is when they die.

A person can become a living god . . . That's an interesting mode of kingship you've got there.

chewitover March 29 2011, 15:38:35 UTC

It's not so unusual when it's what you're used to, but it does seem to be pretty specific to home. Anyway, it has its good and bad points, but it works well enough.

This is when people start to wonder about stuff like fate and destiny. Are people destined to occupy such positions?

chewitover March 29 2011, 21:54:15 UTC

Mm, the ones who become kings are those who are judged to be best for their kingdom at that time. Who knows if they would have been picked at some other time? It's an interesting question, really.

I've had someone ask something similar once . . . he was already a god though.

chewitover March 30 2011, 00:37:09 UTC

What was your answer then?

justwannahave March 30 2011, 00:51:33 UTC

I would have gone for all of the above if there was an option for it.

chewitover March 30 2011, 01:14:23 UTC

Ah, really? What were the circumstances, if you don't mind my asking?

justwannahave March 30 2011, 01:16:45 UTC

The options were Fate, Choice and the guy with the type-writer. I thought there might be a bit of everything involved.

chewitover March 30 2011, 02:40:23 UTC

Mm, I think I'd have to agree with you. Half of what people call fate seems to be more about being in the right place at the right time.
