The Rightful High-King

• Post-Old-Empire, Antagonia was the seat of a new High King, for a while; Ref: Franks/Charlemagne—covered Antagonia, Generica, Überland, Naboria
• Rivalry with Überland over who represents their legacy more-directly
• Pushed to assert by the Druids via his Loremaster?
• Father "The Traitor" was first Gronwyard king; a good start—"inciting incident"
