The ceremony was an acted out [[Froyalan]]ish play where Noah was "married" to the "[[Elwynn (Goddess)|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". |

| '''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, a Princess of the Ancient Ways and 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>
| |
| | |
| "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 Shishin, 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 be coronated your King. 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 repeats her question.<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 Shishin, 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 out of the way!"<br><br>
| |
| | |
| Again the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple shakes her head, and this time she makes a more severe sign of denial with the Sword of the Goodness. The crowd braces itself.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "For the third and definitely last time", the Lady Royal and Spiritual cries out, "who are you and what is your business here?"<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Your Holiness, Good People of the [[Lands of Elwyna]], 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?"<br><br>
| |
| | |
| Suddenly the Sword of the Goodness starts singing, an ancient magical tune in a mythical forgotten tongue, and the crowd bursts into raucus and joyful roaring. Her Holiness the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple then turns to the crowd.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Good People of the Flower of the North, do you accept Thorstein Noah, son of Hallbjörn, son of Esther, of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja as your King? Is he in your eyes fit to govern the Lands of the Two Sacred Rivers? Do you deem him worthy to sit the [[White Orchid Throne|Kingly Throne of Elwynn]]?"<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The crowd responds with a confirmative roar which is so loud, thunderous and powerful that it nearly blows down the forest!<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "I can't hear you!", the Lady Royal and Spiritual cheerfully and mischievously calls out.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The crowd roars even harder!<br><br>
| |
| | |
| Thorstein Noah, son of Hallbjörn, son of Esther the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja, dismount and come to me, O long awaited Prince!, the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple exclaims joyfully. She then enters the Lady's Ford and walks towards King Noah.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The King dismounts, crosses into the aforesaid sacred ford in the Araxionian Elwynn, and wades to the Princess of the Ancient Ways. In the middle of the sacred stream, he kneels and and leaning on His Valtian Steel sword he bows his head to receive the Accolade of Acceptance from Her Holiness.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Thorstein Noah of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja, son of Hallbjörn, son of Esther", the Lady Royal and Spiritual says, "in the name and on behalf of Her Most Sacred Majesty Lady Elwynn Kwendia Eiseamlars- og Spedomhainsdóttir of Mount Yaanek and the Tower of Araxion, the White Orchid Goddess, Who looks upon Her hapless followers with Maternal Love and Pity, Who views all their feuds and fighting just like quarrels among children, and Who longed for Her family to be ruled by You, Her child on Micras, as well as the Twelve Peoples of Elwynn, hereby confer upon You the acceptance and confirmation of your Kingship by the same.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| First, the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple lays the side of the Sword of Goodness' blade onto King Noah's right shoulder. The Princess of the Ancient Ways then raises the sword gently just up over the young monarch's head and places it on zir left shoulder.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Arise, Your Riverine Majesty!"<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Kiss, kiss, kiss!", the crowd begings to roar.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The Lady Royal and Spiritual and the King smile. She cups His Riverine Majesty's face, first kisses him on the left cheek, then on his right cheek, and finally on the lips. The kiss for minutes and the crowd goes wild!
