Old kings is a slogan typically used by migrants of the New Dawn to refer to allegedly better and more orderly times. Initial sentiments seem to have been referring to the old kings of Central Dantria, and the lack of order and respected rulers was cited as the reason for the wave of migration in the first place. Later the slogan began to be used for political gains, specifically in Darda, Afanyu and True Wewen.

What "times of the old kings" actually meant tended to change depending on the circumstances. Common themes were clear differentiation between nobility and the common people, power based on bloodlines connected to certain royal families, the restoration of wealth of said royal families, the return to traditional cultures and religions.
