Hail Sah-Luma!


Write panegyrics to the King and his Court and this is what you get. Here's Sah-Luma in his dazzling royal performance garb. This costume is based mostly on Assyrian royal attire. The Poet Laureate of Ardath is almost as highly rated as a member of the Royal Family. Needless to say, in the plot of the book Sah-Luma eventually gets an appropriate fate, much to the dismay of his male lover Theo.
