Apologies if this message is repeated but I've some
sort of wierd error message which makes me unsure
if my original message went out.
The Dara Happans do have Kings. When Jenarong makes
peace with Raibanth, there's some King Dinzered
mentioned. In modern times this person is called
the Patriach of Raibanth although we do not know
when the changeover happened.
Admittedly Jenarong then kills the Tyrant of Alkoth
in a duel. However when Avivath is offered the
throne, he refuses to become a Tyrant like the
barbarians do which implies that it's a pelorian
barbarian custom. Thus it seems that Plentonius
is slurring the Red King. The corresponding Dara
Happan title is Overseer which looks like the
equivalent of governer or satrap. Red/Green[/black]
overseers sound icky IMO.
