A kingdom is like it's flag. The ruler may be the symbol, but that is not a flag. The people may be the thread that binds it together, but that is not a flag. The pole may be the warriors that support it, but that too, is not a flag. A flag is all of these things coming together to represent the country and what it stands for. Through time until the symbol has faded, the cloth is threadbare, and the pole has splintered.
