[ That's quite a lot to ingest. Summoned for a war by 'The Regent'... surely, a human king to other humans but not a divine one anointed by the gods. The time of divine kings who inherited the will of the sun god had long past when last he'd been summoned, and what existed in its place were mere men and women, fragile in both body and demeanor.
