[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 3610764, member: 46559"] Setting generation questions. All brainstorming; feel free to say no, of course. :) [i]1.

Whatever takes your fancy.[/i] The current king is very old, more than 100 years old, some say, which is ancient for a human. He is still healthy and energetic, though, which has led some people to speculate in whispers that he may be prolonging his life unnaturally.
