== History ==
The Royal Locks originally came from [[Vo]], the first Returned. Vo was a member of a [[Chedesh]] expedition that discovered a paradise-like valley, which would later become known as [[Hallandren]]. Vo died under unknown circumstances around the same time the valley was discovered, and soon Returned in the bay adjacent to modern-day [[T'Telir]]. During the eight days he was given Vo managed to impregnate his wife. His wife would, as elected monarch of the new nation of [[Hanald]], establish a royal line. Every potential heir in this line would have the Royal Locks, a sign of Returned ancestry.
The arrangement between [[Idris]] and [[Hallandren]] was in part due to the people of Hallandren calling for their future royalty to have the Royal Locks. This would further legitimize the current regime and quiet those who believed [[Dedelin]] was the rightful heir to the throne.{{book ref|wb|1}}
 
The members of this line would continue to rule Hanald for three hundred years, all the way up to the [[Manywar]]. This war would eventually result in Vo's royal line leaving T'Telir to establish the nation of [[Idris]] in the highlands, while Hanald was renamed [[Hallandren]] and the priests there began downplaying the importance of Vo's bloodline.{{book ref|warbreaker|32}}{{wob ref|7400}}
