Question: Who was the leader of Zormite when you joined?

The problem was, there wasn't anything I could do short of become Zormite's face while Drakeero sat around and just occupied the throne. And then, Zormite would only rock until I finally got pissed at Drake and left anyways.

It would seem, then, that the status of the kingdom is less important to you than who gets credit for that status.

What you're getting at here, are problems with the kingdom structure of having a single individual leader as the only real power figure in the kingdom whose tenure is subject to no will but their own (resentment by other potential leaders, the need to bring redundant prestige to themselves to justify their position, etc.) I don't consider these problems unsolvable. Do you?
