Akhôrahil Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 What about "high king"? Just a king but higher, or does it denote something specific? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it a King of Kings? In other words, a king who has other kings as subjects. The king of a land might be a High King, with tribal kings beneath him. So, the King of Dragon pass has the kings of all the tribes of Dragon Pass beneath him, including the Prince of Sartar. the Prince of Sartar is himself a high king, with the kings of the tribes of Sartar beneath him.

Tarshites do not suddenly bow to a Sartarite King of Dragon Pass, and so on (even if they might have to show some kind of ritual deference or maybe even pay tribute, I don't know, I'm sure there are like seventeen different treatises on what kind of honey the Feathered Horse Queen got as a wedding gift one time or other, knowing Glorantha. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
