Ornate and luxurious, the throne room gleams with gold and precious jewels. Priceless paintings of past kings line the sides. Underneath a vaulted ceiling, a regal red carpet connects the throne room's entrance to the golden throne itself.

I decided the other day that I would like to build a boat. Not a small 2 person boat, but a large, towering thing. One that could fit the whole village if it liked. I think I will start on it today.
I am but a humble craftsman, the riches you see on display belongs to the king. But he appears to not be in at the moment. Surely you must know how these things were made? The nimble weaving of the carpet? The delicate brush strokes of the painting? It is true that I belong to a family of craftsmans, and through the years we've honed our skills passing it onto the next generation. Ah! So craftsman is a hereditary trade? What craft is your family known for? Unfortunately it isn't so, but we start and our taught the trade at a young age. For my family, it is wood working. I have actually come here today to propose building a magnificent boat. Truly? Well, then! You are in luck! I have come asking the King for a new trade route between our people! Tell me, do you think that you could craft a boat sturdy enough to haul the grand lumber off this land? Yes, I've come to request such support! Fantastic! Well, my good man, if you can make a ship as majestic as these carvings and and sturdy as an ox, I think we can strike a deal! It would be a honor to build a ship for the king to benefit our country and it's citizens. I want my families name to be remembered, the boat I plan to build shall be grand enough to fit the whole village. Fantastic! I'll gladly hire you on! Payment will come after she proves seaworthy of course. I shall not let you nor the king down, my family's name depends on it! What a pleasant twist of fate! This bodes well for relations between our two people! Oh, I cannot wait for the king to arrive!
