The reasons are recorded in the poem by noted Viking skald A.A. Milne, who wrote:
When I was One, I had just begun.
When I was Two, I was nearly new.
When I was Three I was hardly me.
When I was Four, I was not much more.
When I was Five, I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever,
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.


So when the VI-kings got to six they decided it was a clever number and stopped.

What's another major historical phenomenon that can be explained with reference to A.A. Milne?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Honey.

What happens when you mix salt and sugar with alien goo?

Jubal

Pulchritude!

Why don't llamas do more slam poetry?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

They're called llamas, not sllamas.

Will anyone ever be able to guess my greatest secret?

Jubal

Yes, but it'll be a small bromeliad frog living in a rainforest who, possessing oracular powers but also minimal knowledge of what the world looks like outside tiny ponds held in the leaf-cups of epiphytic flowers, will rather lack the context for the secret and thus think nothing of it.

When will the light return?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Tomorrow at dawn.

What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

Jubal

Sing it, it's a good song.


How would my life be different if I was a Witcher?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

It would be a lot more magical, I suppose. But you might be plagued by Cosmic Wisdom And Knowledge Beyond The Mortal Realm, so I'm not sure if it would be much fun.

Who am I?

Jubal

You are needle-flight and word-jumble and friend-of-buns and a good bean :)


What would internet Nimbies look like?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Didn't know the word "nimbies"... so it's the plural of "nimby", right? "Not in my back yard" people. Interesting.
The internet has no back yards afaik, so I can't answer that, unfortunately.

If the internet has no back yards, does it have front yards?

(Also, why am I word-jumble? lol)
