In theory the communities seem well, perfect, but in reality they never work out due human nature.

Thankfully, these visits were only necessary every year or so. The old king was getting worse every time Barone Victor Wollstonecraft saw him. The Barone wistfully remembered when he would accompany his late father on these visits in his childhood and the king had been such a masterful teller of tales.
