I think Graal needs BIG events. Not the simple, "I'm going to hold a raffle/water race/kart race/insert building on events isle here" type. I mean something big, that would give the world some sort of story. Kingdoms is the way it is, because after a certain point, fighting the monsters is useless, and all that's left is fighting amongst themselves.

Perhaps the bomies need to return, give the citizens a common enemy to work against. Come up with enemies that have to be defeated in ways other than just beating their AC. Maybe an enemy that's covered in ice, and is completely impervious to attacks, until someone melts it with a firebolt of course.

Have events where the Kingdom Islands are invaded, and if they're unable to fight them off, then the kingdom suffers some sort of penalty (Occupation by monsters for a time? Makes traveling difficult. Perhaps the ferry would be afraid to stop there in the meantime too). The bomies invaded the old lands, it stands to reason that they wouldn't let the survivors escape them that easily.

Anyway, just my ranting.
