Just one comment here; characters are either a part of the Pantheon, even if they aren't in the inner circle (they swore fealty to Aroesus somewhere down the line, forced or not) or they are on an Island in Lake Sharzunates. Aroesus didn't let indies just run the hell around his kingdom. Everyone swore an oath. Not everyone showed up to Krona on a regular basis. You get the idea. He was the undisputed law.
