oooh i'll admit i haven't given them too much thought bc i've been so obsessed with wooyoung buuuut

the 7 ancient lords were once united in their love for each other and while their kingdoms were separate they held council as a group and it wasn't uncommon to see some lords spend time in other kingdoms for a little rendezvous.

the 3 kingdoms were divided between hongjoong and seonghwa, mingi yunho and jongho, and it's said san shared his throne with another but there are no records of the forgotten king 😏
