The temple is ancient, and consists of two rings of standing stones that chart the movements of the sun, moon and stars. Some inner stones bear weathered reliefs of the androgynous deities known in Gore and Jahur as the Fools (19.31). The mysterious humans who settled this land before Gore considered this a very sacred site. Although Gore is culturally quite different than their predecessors, the kings considered themselves heirs of the ancient race. Ardumar, the first king of Gore, discovered the rusted High King's Crown in the center of the Fools' Court after a vision in a dream. Every king elected after him wore it to honor the old gods. The kings were chosen for their vices rather than their virtues due to the personality-changing nature of the crown. Ambitious lords acted uncharacteristically rakish and immoral in hope of being chosen.Today, local centaurs use the Fool's Court for their savage rites.Hooks-Why did peasant children crown the kings?-Why did the old kings revere an ancient, little-known civilization and their gods so much?-Where do the local centaurs live? Tell me about their rites.-What other ruins are scattered across Gore?</blockquote>
