Oh for the love of..this is the third time the wiki has not kept something I've put into a reply or quote...maybe it's my internet connection.

But my response yesterday went something like:

For me, the king reminds of Denethor from The Lord of the Rings more than anyone. He's aged, weary, and utterly bereft of hope. I'm starting to wonder if he somehow figured out about all the other I.K.s. This makes some sense because as far as I can tell, most of the continent of Arclent is focused on its Arsehole being the only known I.K. If the King of Ardoheim somehow found out about the members of the Gathering, (maybe from Queen Felheil perhaps if she felt so inclined to tell him,) and finding out the "Arsehole of Arclent" is merely middling in terms of comparative strength, I think it would break him. He might see no point in truly fighting the AoA because once that jackass is gone, the King might feel that just another would come to take his place...and he would be right, but Simon would do a much better job.

I'm thinking maybe situation like the Council of Nicea for what he might do. "Hello, you are all now my guests for the foreseeable future. When our armies are done destroying the Incubus King, we may all go home." on a "if I have to go, then so do all of you. Or he could just do a big reveal if he indeed does know about the other I.K.s, or he could just being giving it one more shot before he dies, basically thinking better to die in the attempt then whimper away waiting for the end?
