individual with red hair, so he rounded up all the redheads in the
kingdom and banished them to the neighboring kingdom of Galtria.
When he had finished, the king gathered his most loyal knights and
went on a journey to seize the legendary Sacred Fleece from a rival
king

was only a baby when the king left on his quest for the fleece, was
starting to grow hair for the first time - red hair. Suddenly, a page
rushed into the throne room and announced, "The king is returning!"
