During court, king Kormwind, tenth of that name, finds himself having a toddler climbing up in his lap and, sucking their thumb, and full of trust, falling asleep. Where are the parents? Near the kitchens exhaustedly trying to handle six other children, most of whom were at that stage of sleepy where they get wilder and grumpy due to being overtired, and trying to figure out where their toddler went. -- Anon Guest
People often thought that only the Nobles lived in their castles. Such was never the case. Nobody who thinks this ever wonders how the castle staff get to work before the Noble in question needs them. For many Nobles, the staff don't count as residents. The phrase "nobody was there" really means, "nobody important was there."
Not so in Whitekeep.
Kormwind Arachis Felbourne Whitekeep, tenth of his name, and Dex to his friends and family, had a fine example in his father. Kormwind Nine had remembered everyone who crossed his path. He knew their names, their family's names, and had an awareness of their dietary restrictions, health needs, and allergies. To both Dex and his dad alike, the staff were just as much people as anyone else.
