There's an available niche for political fantasy, and either of these settings would fit it.
Birthright is a classic AD&D setting that didn't get a lot of love back in the day, only lasting a couple of years, but had some interesting concepts - the gods are dead and we have killed them, now their power flows through the royal bloodlines of the various nations and you can steal more of it by killing off other inheritors, Highlander-style. Also one of the bloodlines got a curse instead of a blessing and its scions are horrible uber-monsters.
Eldraine is the setting of a recent (2019) Magic: the Gathering expansion as well as an upcoming (2023) one. Five courts, five mythic treasures (one is missing), and the Wilds beyond where elves and faeries hold sway. A fey beast bestows the quest to become High King and High Queen once a generation. Creatures and characters out of legends and fairy tales abound, from a little mermaid who wants to walk on land to a girl with golden locks to a puppet who wants to be a real boy.
We'll probably only get one, if any. So which would you rather have?
