'''Konungstekja''' means "King-taking" in the Farewellish, [[Froyalanish]] and [[Wintergleamish]] languages. It is the legal and cultural term that denotes the coronation ceremony of the [[King of Elwynn|King]] of [[Elwynn]]. The coronation ceremony takes place in either the [[Tower of Araxion]] or in the [[Araxion Forest]] depending on the time of the year and as the weather may permit. In Elw, the coronation ceremony is known as '''Redizarai'''.

==Query of Acception==
At the crack of dawm the [[King of Elwynn|King]] rides at the head of a group of companions from [[Araxion Castle]] to a ford in the Araxionian Elwynn, the most sacred tributary of the [[Elwynn (River)#Blue Elwynn|Blue Elwynn]] and of the [[Elwynn (River)]] as whole, which is called [[Elwynn (Goddess)|Lady's Ford]]. Each companion represents one of the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn]]. The King is seated on a white mare and is, just like his companins, clad in full knightly armour. At the ford the aforesaid band of royal riders is awaited by Her Holiness the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple, the senior cleric of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]], and a large crowd of Elwynnese subjects from all [[Princely Precinct|Princely Precincts]] of the [[Flower of the North]]. Her Holiness is carrying the unsheated [[Sword of Goodness]] and the crowd is armed with swords, shields, axes, spears and (cross)bows.<br><br>
 
"Halt! Who are you and what is your business here?", the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple asks in a commanding voice. <br><br>

Make way!", the King replied.<br><br>
 
Her Holiness the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple shakes her head, and makes a sign of denial with the Sword of the Goodness.<br><br>
 
When the King moves to cross the river anyway, the Lady Royal and Spritual puts the Sword of Goodness at the ready and the crowd raises its weapons as well. <br><br>
 
"Who are you and what is your business here?", Her Holiness asks again.<br><br>
 
"I am Thorstein Noah of the Houses of [[Line of Ayreon-Kalirion|Ayreon-Kalirion]] and of the [[House of Ettlingar Freyu|Descendants of Freyja]], [[King of Elwynn]], Imperial Chieftain of Thule, Prince of Amokolia, Arvjarl of the Twenty-Six Jarldoms, Storjarl of Stormark, Lord Imperial on All Continents, Prince of Natopia, Knight of the Holy Lakes, Lord of the Two Sacred Rivers and the Twelve Peoples, Duke of Froyalan, Duke of Northshire, Duke of the Lady Esther Isles, Jarl of Bernicia, Baron of the Fórntida Kærleikalanden, Baron of the Elw, Baron of Opplysta Smørvirket, Count of Araxion, Count of Cimmeria, Count of Storborg, Count of Wintergleam, Warden of the Flower of the North, Blood-Unifier of the Jewel of Many Facets, Knight of the Holy Lakes, Scion of the King of Kings, and I am here to claim mine birthright, the [[White Orchid Throne]]. Therefore I need to cross this river, so get of the way!"
 
Again the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple shakes her head, and makes a more severe sign of denial with the Sword of the Goodness. The crowd braces itself.<br><br>
 
"I am Thorstein Noah, son of [[Hallbjörn Haraldsson|Hallbjörn]], son of [[Esther Ayreon-Kalirion|Esther]], and I, servant of the servants of the People of Elwynn, have travelled to these most sacred lands to wed mine love, betrothed and Queen, the Lady [[Elwynn (Goddess)|Elwynn Kwendia Eiseamlars- og Spedomhainsdóttir]] of [[Mount Yaanek]] and the [[Tower of Araxion]], the White Orchid Goddess. May I cross the river?"
 
Suddenly the Sword of the Goodness starts singing, an ancient magical tune in a mythical forgotten tongue. The crowd roars with joy!<br><br>

The Konungstekja ("royal investiture") was the live-televised (with much detail) investiture ceremony of King Noah upon his coming of age in 1632. The ceremony was an acted out Froyalanish play where Noah was "married" to the "goddess Elwynn". Noah and "Elwynn" then engaged in a ritual bath where Noah suckled her breasts and drank her milk. Thereafter, to the tunes of a choir singing the Ballad of the Bed of Orchids (from where "Plow my vulva!" is a memorable line in the public consciousness), Noah and his bride consummated the "union" before the cameras. During the sexual act, Noah kept sucking the milk out of his "wife".

The official script of the Konungstekja can be found here.
