"That one over there is my great-great-great-great grandfather, Eudoxus. He was the one who built the temple of Ramm, the city's fifth-largest. Now, Ramm isn't the name of a god or pantheon, it's more like a concept..." Ternoc paused for a moment, trying to describe it.

"Alright, it's a bit like this, and keep in mind that I don't necessarily agree with it. Before I really begin, let me just say that Hekaga allows certain practices to flourish where other cities would suppress them. Call us tolerant if you like. Anyway, the concept of Ramm has obscure origins. We don't know where the name comes from, but its probably not important. It roughly means 'breaking the cycle of violence through a war of annihilation.' Basically, the idea is that in the long run, a single, decisive, and all-out war will kill many people in the short run, but save more in the long run by ending the possibility of future wars with that same country. Basically, my ancestor introduced the concept and enshrined it in religious form. Before that, our policy was to fight wars until vengeance was achieved if we were wronged. I haven't actually endorsed Ramm yet, and I hope never to do so. Frankly, I think it has more to do with the sacrifice of rams than anything else. That's a ram's head he's holding there, in the statue."

"Your mother is quite insistent that I rule in the event of your passing" Kara explained. "Not that I have any interest or intention of ruling anything. When we have a son, he'll be the one to rule your lands someday, my love."
