There's a lot of great stuff here, but I'm not sure how much I want to say just yet.
For the easy one, I was trying to keep the royal systems a little different from reality to make them more fantastical, but seeing comparisons to reality is helpful and will help refine what's there. I might edit the system to go more extreme away or closer to reality, but I'll have to do some thinking on that one. If anything else seems like it could be refined just let me know. 😁
The split between King Whitlock as we saw him and as he was known was intentional, though maybe ought to have been better hinted at. Originally I thought I'd weave it into the story with dialogue, but we haven't spent enough time with characters who would realistically talk about all the details I want to cover. I've been planning out a 'Journal of King Whitlock the Third' which will start entries at when he was a prince and lead to right before he died. I'm still working on streamlining to avoid writing a whole new novel, but there will be parallels to another character we know and a clear descent for the character of the king until we reach the point when Gwyn arrives, where he very much the very high strung jerk we saw at the beginning. I'm still in the planning stage, so I don't want to say too much more.
I actually recently wrote the draft chapter which will explain King Fio's actions a little more. It should be released around the 119 or 120 mark if all goes according to plan.
Also, I love the description of humdrum band of scalewag heros. Fits well. 😀
Hopefully that was some sort of helpful and not just vague. 😂
