It is tradition for queens to only wear black once they are no longer babies. After the births, messengers are sent to the capital and whichever cities house the gifted who share the new queens' gifts. Once born, the old queen announces the baby's name and gift. When the new queens are born, their mother always knows immediately what their gift is. Most presume that they make a life for themselves on The Mainland, though in truth few give the departed queens a second thought once they are gone. Queens Crowned depart the island with their king-consort as soon as they recover from giving birth to the new queens. Once the Goddess sends the new queens, the old queen's reign has ended. Temple doctrine decrees that queens have no mother or father they are daughters of the Goddess only. All of the triplets are linked to the Goddess in a unique way, and only a queen can receive the next generation's triplets. Each Queen Crowned earn her crown by killing her sisters during the Ascension Year. Each are considered equal heirs to the throne, but only one of the triplets can become the next Queen Crowned. In each generation, three triplet queens are born to the current Queen Crowned.
