As followed by the Royal Family of Porters Bar, and other members of the Shay family.

Lei, the founder of Porter's Bar, was bought up in a culture that demanded respect for the spirits of the ancestors, and she continued that tradition when she settled in Porter's Bar. She set up a small shrine where a light could burn, and she could give occasional thanks to the spirits of her ancestors for their help and assistance.

It was her fourth child, Lanwe, who developed the shrine. When his mother died, and his father left with her body, Lanwe turned to the small ancestral shrine for comfort. Almost immediately he started to feel relief and succour and vowed to dedicate his life to the memory of his mother and his other ancestors. At first, he was regarded as having a problem, and it was assumed he needed more time to recover from his mother's death - but over time he started to develop a calmness and wisdom that was envied and almost venerated by his peers.

Over the next two generations, it became normal for all children of the royal family to study at the shrine of the ancestors and take guidance from the teachers and their writings. From there, it was but a short step to believing that the royal advisors should be chosen from the teachers and students at the shrine. Nowadays, junior priests of the Cult of the Royal Ancestors manage the day-to-day functions of the royal household, while the senior priests are all Royal Advisors.
