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 sultry kiss lasted for minutes and the crowd goes wild!
| |
| | |
| ==Elwynn's Proclamation==
| |
| Suddenly the White Orchid Lady appeared, rising from the river in a burst of magic. Immediately the crowd falls silent. King Noah and the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple break off their kiss and get on shore.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Good People of the Lands that bear Mine Name! I am Elwynn Kwendia of Mount Yaanek and the Tower of Araxion, daughter of Spedomhain and Eiseamlar. I have heard ye, mine children, yer call. Thou have charged me to be yer Matron and Sacred Queen. I shall stand before ye just like Prince Ísur-Ai and other Elw tribal chieftains of old stood on top of the highest rock of the Rocks of the Farewell of the Northern Reaches. I shall perform the most sacred act of revealing mine body to ye all."<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The crowd collectively gasped for breath.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Mine garments shall be stripped off for ye and I shall stand naked before ye, as naked as I was upon the hour of mine first breath." <br><br>
| |
| | |
| The crowd was captivated by the sight of Her Most Sacred Majesty's clothes coming off and were awestruck when She stood before them in Her full nude glory.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| Musically the Matron and Sacred Queen of Elwynn began to recite the Konungstekja Proclamation.<br><br>
| |
| | |
| "Once I was a shy girl in a concealed room, fearing for mine life and dreading world doom.
| |
| | |
| Forever condemned to the lonely street, with want of any folks to meet.
| |
| | |
| But then ye came, and absolved me of mine blame.
| |
| | |
| Thou broke mine yoke, and mine chains went up in smoke.
| |
| | |
| Thanks to thee, I am what I never thought to be.
| |
| | |
| The abundant prayers and offerings from thee, have set me free.
| |
| | |
| Owing to ye I'm no longer under attack, and eternally grateful, I shall pay ye back.
| |
| | |
| In days past we drifted away, and mine fair country went astray.
| |
| | |
| Foul games were the only allowed to play, and yer olde liberties were taken away.
| |
| | |
| With Prince the Noah being yer man, that shallt not ever happen again.
| |
| | |
| Therefore I shall give him mine ring, and long he shall be yer King!" <br><br>
| |
| | |
| The crowd roars with joy!<br><br>
| |
| | |
| The King then kneels for Elwynn and offers Her His Horse which the White Orchid Lady gracefully accepts. She then swiftly ridess off to the [[Valley of Kings]] via the Queen's Trail, a sacred trail that may only be used by Her. The King, His companions the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple, and the crowd travel on foot, the aforesaid royal procession taking the King's Path to get to the [[Konungstekjostaðr]] while singing ancient folk songs along the way.
| |
| | |
| ==Bath of Purification==
| |
| Having arrived at the Valley of Kings, Goddess gets into a sacred natural pool, one of the several [[Worship Water|Worship Waters]] of the Konungstekjostaðr, to prepare Herself through meditation and contemplation for the ritual cleansing of the King.
| |
| | |
| Upon their arrival at the coronation site the royal procession is welcomed by a large merry band of musicians and the mass of people which has already assembled there. The members of the royal procession mingle with and they warmly meet and greet in a spirit of peace and siblinghood before being assigned taking their places by clergy of the [[Froyalanish Ancient Ways]].
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile the King is being introduced to a group of twelve exited women, one from each of the [[Twelve Peoples of Elwynn]], by the Yfirfroyalansgythia and High Priestess of the White Orchid Temple. As soon as everybody has taken zir place, soft romantic music starts playing and the twelve lusty ladies line up in front of His Riverine Majesty and ritually disrobe. When they are fully naked except, of course, for their jewellery, the King kisses them one by one by one, each of the ladies curtsying deeply before being kissed by Him. They then lead His Riverine Majesty to a pile of soft furs in front of which they disvest Him of armour and ritually strip Him of His clothes. The women then lay the King on top of the pile of furs where they cover His body with sultry kisses, a symbolic expression of the love the People of Elwynn have for their King, before giving him a sensual massage to allow him to relax for the ritual bath. The skilfully performed massage brings His Riverine Majesty in a profound state of relaxation and contentment.
| |
| | |
| When the Goddess Elwynn signifies that She is ready to give the King the ritual Bath of Purification, the twelve ladies carry His Riverine Majesty to the Pool of Purification, a sizable pool made of Valtian marble.
