Honors Bestowed
When the bandit chief Harper Caine invaded the capital, he was met with the torrential might of the King's Watch. After he quickly dispatched the watchmen, the King's ministers unanimously called for negotiation.
It was decided they would offer Harper Caine lordship over the King's peach orchards.
"Why would I agree to such a settlement?" asked Harper Caine.
"Because tending to the King's peaches is considered the greatest honor in all the lands and comes with a salary of 1,000 gold bars."
"I agree to those terms."
It was many years before Harper Caine realized the King cared nothing for peaches.
