The Royal Locks got their name because of their users and appearance. The only users are members of the Idrian, or formerly Hanald, Royal House. Besides this, the Royal Locks, in current times, generally take the form of changing hair colors, although they are capable of so much more then this.

▲Wearers of the Royal Locks can imitate the grey hair of the elderly,{{book ref|wb|9}} though it is unknown whether that color is associated with a particular emotion.

Although many of it’s users believe that the Royal Locks only extend to hair, wearers of the Royal Locks are able to change many other aspects of their physical appearance,{{wob ref|1583}}{{wob ref|6808}} like their age, height, and body shape.{{wob ref|7481}} This requires a great deal of practice, energy and focus. Changing one’s physical appearance using the royal locks feels, at least to some users, like moving any other muscle.{{book ref|wb|6}}{{book ref|wb|39}} Changing their appearance also makes them hungry and tired.{{book ref|wb|6}} The users of the Royal Locks can’t change their appearance as much as a Returned can; they cannot change their physical features enough to look like someone else. Returned could most likely mimic the effects of the Royal Locks.

== History ==
The royal line continued to rule Idris for another three hundred years. The priests, wanting to reintroduce the Royal Locks back into the Hallandren monarchy to further legitimize their regime and quiet those who believed [[Dedelin]] was the rightful heir to the throne,{{book ref|wb|1}} arranged a marriage between an Idrian princess and the [[Susebron|God King]]. This marriage eventually happened, although it is unknown if the two had a child, and by extension, if the Royal Locks were reintroduced into the monarchy.{{book ref|wb|4}}
