[b]@gowia[/b] I just had the idea that the previous King had been invited to join Haloism, and declined it on the grounds that his people would suffer from the sudden change in religion. And then maybe they came to an agreement that if the Kings helped support the Doge and Empire with metals then the Kolmaenar wouldn't be forced to join Haloism. It's just a thought I had, but if you don't want to I can make the King a raving lunatic who has false pre-conceptions. :P
