That's kinda how it works, yeah. It was made for the royal family, and the line's all about building on top of the previous generations, gathering power from those who came before. Telling the story of the country is telling the story of our family at the same time.
[It's a little self-serving, he knows, but the Caelum line built Lucis into its own nation, adopted the country's name unto itself so the two could be forever intertwined. Or was it the other way around? He's not sure, maybe Somnus would know. Either way.
He makes his own order and thinks a moment on how to explain it.]
Um, some backstory I guess... when a king or queen of Lucis dies, their weapon retains the power they had while they were alive. Then the ones still living can visit their tombs and gain that power- those are the Royal Arms. And when the first king of Lucis was chosen- [A beat, and then,] When Somnus, uh. Got the crown. He was given a ring from the gods that only a king of Lucis could wear. So the crest of Lucis has blades, centred around the ring... it's not subtle, I guess is what I'm saying.
