== Historical accuracy == ''The Story of the First Guildmaster'' is an apocryphal tale, and contains a number of historical inaccuracies which suggest that it should not be taken as an authoritative or truly historical account of the Art's beginnings. Notably, the Art's origins are far older than even the D'ni. It was originally developed and perfected by the [[Ronay]] on their home world of [[Garternay]], an unknown number of centuries before the D'ni split away from them and settled in their cavern on Earth over 9,600 years ago. Additionally, there is no record of a King Clevis ever ruling D'ni. The [[DRC]]'s research has uncovered all of the names of the D'ni kings from the first ([[Ri'neref]]) to the last ([[Kerath]]), and Clevis is not among them. By extension, there is no record of a Princess Dania. And although the D'ni did have a rather rigid class structure, there is no real indication that the D'ni held royal blood to be particularly sacrosanct; the only prohibition seemed to be that if a king ever had a child with an Age-dweller, that heir could not inherit the crown. At multiple times throughout the time of the kings, the crown was passed to a successor from outside of the king's own bloodline. In several cases, it was passed to someone who did not have any sort of royal lineage at all. In that light, it seems unlikely that Varsil's request would have been seen as the sort of outrageous offense that it is depicted to be in the story.
