By custom, almost all members of House de Weluta are buried in the [[Urceopolis_(City)#New_City|New City]] borough of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], and a vast majority have been buried in the Leonine Crypt attached to the [[Caeline Basilica]] constructed by [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo II]] in [[1570]]. All members of the dynasty buried in the crypt are buried with a small bronze circlet laid on their chest, signifying both their positions as royals as well as their future "halos" in heaven. A small number of Kings have opted to have their circlets made of gold instead. | By custom, almost all members of House de Weluta are buried in the [[Urceopolis_(City)#New_City|New City]] borough of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], and a vast majority have been buried in the Leonine Crypt attached to the [[Caeline Basilica]] constructed by [[Leo III, Emperor of the Levantines|King Leo II]] in [[1570]].

House de Weluta has a well-known custom of ceremonial gambling on special occasions. The gambling is near-ritualized, almost always comprising of a single bet or other participation in a gambling activity. They are intended to be symbols to the public of celebration on a holiday, ceremonially "opening" national festivities, and accordingly the events are televised. The most popular variant of ceremonial gambling involves the [[Apostolic King of Urcea|Apostolic King]] making a single {{wp|roulette}} bet at a table in the [[Julian Palace]] specifically built for the event. The Royal gamble is a popular Urcean custom, and whether or not the King's bet will win or lose on any given holiday has itself become the subject of popular wagering. | |||
