Folk beliefs claim that the names were sealed to newborn babes by magic, "passed through fire and plunged through salt water and offered to the winds of the air" and that they were later incapable of betraying  the virtues whose names they bore. It is unclear whether such a ritual once existed and if it was really binding.

-Inheritence of the crown is chronological; the eldest child of the reining monarch, or the nearest relation with the strongest Farseer blood will be first on the thrown, regardless of gender. At 16, the oldest heir will become King or Queen-in-Waiting, a position designed to give the potential ruler the power he or she desired while helping them learn the responsibily that goes with it before they ascend the throne.

 ==Infidelity==
-There is a large history of infidelity amongst the Farseer royals, with both the men and the women of the line having bastard children in and out of court, as seen with [[Fitz]], [[Chade]], [[Charger]] and [[Galen]]. While still being scandalous, it does not appear to be that unnacceptable to have a bastard, and are thus allowed to live at court, and even wear their family crest, albeit with a red line embroided through it to show their illegitimate birth.
