Especially since the High King might well be just a guy, using basically the Noble stats with some additional proficiencies. The ease with which his Captain At Arms could merc him at any moment is laughable, but he is still the King to which petty Kings pay tribute and send their best sons and daughters to train and make connections in his court. Now, some of those petty Kings might be feudal, but the High King really isn’t, beyond having vassal states, and even then he is only the High King of a region, and his closest external ally is a culture of Fey-related folk who govern in a system of clan elders, consular-priests (many of whom are Ancients Paladins), and then the overarching authority of the Althing, at which any citizen of the land may speak. A more contentious relation is held with the 9 Kings of Cardan and their Three Fates, who are sister-priestesses chosen before birth, always born under certain signs, always triplets, etc.</blockquote>
