Symbolic
Once envoys carried messages, betwixt those Royal thrones of Kings. Scrolls of vellum parchments, all bearing wax insignia, impressed with signet rings. These symbols of authenticity, made safe passage, through far flung foreign fields. Where chivalry of gallant knights gave sanctuary, armed with swords and shields.
