The four items of the Kings were meant to be the true test for one to become the King of Dalaam. These items have been passed down throughout history as long as Dalaam has existed. In Dalaamish history, every king is a PSI master who has to undergo vigorous training in order to qualify as the king. Kings are mostly hereditary, with the king’s son becoming the next king, but in rare cases where the the son doesn’t have the Psychic potential to pass the tests, a new family will be chosen and trained.

Among the training and tests is the task to recover the four lost Items of the Kings. Each item is a protective bit of wear that grants the user power, and can only be used by those with great Psychic abilities. The four items are:
The Bracer of Kings, hidden within Dalaam’s Pink Cloud dungeons;
The Diadem of Kings, hidden away under the swamps of Deep Darkness;
The Sword of Kings, located far way in the cold, desolate land of Winters;
The Cloak of Kings, deep under the earth in the Lost Underworld.
Each of these locations are difficult for the best of PSI users to reach, so finding all of them is the mark of a true Master.

“But wait!” you say, “Why do the Starman Supers have the Sword of Kings?”
Well, if you were listening, you would know that only those with great Psychic abilities can use the Kings’ items. Now, the Starmen are not robots. No one knows exactly what they are, but we do that they are living, organic, possibly semi-robotic aliens—
and they are PSI wielders.

Now, during the invasion of Winters, the forces of Giygas built their base beneath Stonehenge, off of a preexisting cave. We don’t know for sure, but it is widely believed that the Sword of Kings was hidden in this cave, before the Starmen who excavated the place inadvertently discovered it. We don’t know exactly what the Starman Supers’s logic was, but they likely took the Sword because:

1: They Starmen Supers are great users of PSI, and as they found the Sword, they should get to keep it.

2: Someone was probably looking for this Sword, and by keeping it, they could use it to lure whoever the seeker was into a trap.

Now finally, Poo comes into the story. Poo was the next prince of Dalaam, and having completed all his training, the test was all that remained. Poo was exempt from most testing (Going with Ness to save the world and destroy the Universal Cosmic Destroyer would suffice) but Fate managed to bring the chosen four through a path that would allow Poo to find all four Kings items. Poo, as an experienced warrior, had no need of any weapon that would hinder his ability to fight with other than his fists. The Sword was the only weapon Poo could use, as it complements the power he has.

How do Starmen change? We see multiple versions of Starmen in Earthbound, from normal Starmen, to Final Starmen. Are they made/created as this way? Do they rank up? How? What is the process behind the change, or are they not able to change forms?

Starmen are aliens, not robots. Who knows how they reproduce, that’s a discussion for another day. Anyway though,

Starmen live in a hierarchical system, with the highest starman on top, and the weaker ones on the bottom. Think of ants. At the top is the queen ant, and lower down are worker ants, ants that take care of the queen, ants that gather food, and ants that take care of larvae. To compare this to the Starmen, Giygas is the queen ant, with varying levels of devoted Starmen underneath her/him. The Starman Juniors are at the lowest, they are dispatched for fulfilling simple missions (Destroying Buzz Buzz should be an easy task, right?) The higher up Starmen have power over the lower.

So how are they in these ranks in the first place? Starmen are born/created/made in their place in the hierarchy. They live and serve in their place, until they die. However, they do not change ranks. Similar to medieval times where peasants stay peasants through generations, a Starman stays it’s rank throughout its life, and the rank is passed on to offspring. As for the mysterious rank of “Ghost of Starman,” when a Starman dies, their spirit part can be put in another robot body, and they are barely alive, more robots than anything. Only high ranking Starmen can be reincarnated in this way, as an honor to their mortal service.
