O Senhor Doutor,

 

Many years ago this kingdom of DaoBums was ruled by a wise and brave king.  His judgements were fair and his words mellifluous, such that the populous would gather just to listen to his pronouncements of peace.  Each day he would ride the boundaries of his realm accompanied by his faithful knight Sir Luke, who, as he was not known of a woman, was the purest of hearts.

 

This king was known to all as His Majesty Steve of the Internet.

 

One day as they were out riding they saw a white Hart darting through a wooded grove.  And as they looked they thought they heard the sound of trumpets and the joyous plucking of harps.  In wonder they followed the Hart over mountain and dale, until a great light came down from heaven and a Westerly wind howled through the air.  A great melancholy filled their hearts and they sat,  their cloaks lifted by the wind, gazing into that great light.

 

At last the King sighed and said to Sir Luke:

 

- Verily this is a sign from heaven ... and I must take my leave and moderate no more.

 

When he returned to the Vale of Daobums all the people, dressed in simple rags came out of their hovels and weeping begged him not to leave.  But his mind was set and his countenance was firm.

 

- I must go, he said.

 

And from that day on, all those who moderate, do so in memory of the once and noble King Steve and his trusty Sir Luke, hoping in some small way to emulate their greatness.

 

Chapter 7 Vs. 9 to 11 The Annals of Daobumia 

 

PS. I only mention this as being new you may not be familiar with the lore of Daobums.
