How these were written
Each line was composed to sound like the queen this site’s fiction developed — warm, ceremonial, fond of gardens and promises — and checked against two rules: it must fit her established personality (Personality), and it must never be presented as anything but invention. Four of these lines appear as shareable cards in the Social Pack.
