This always seemed like a clear bit of cultural confusion (if there can be "clear confusion"). Likewise, I don't think Ardinyar is really King of Ralios (though he might have introduced himself as such). Probably not even King of Vesmonstran. Almost certainly he's King of Lankst.

Is this really his name? Can't we use a less well-known hero, if we must crib from Gilgamesh? (Which Greg already cribs from big-time in Entekosiad.)

The fact that he both is and isn't strongly hints that it's (at least in later years) an office, not a person. It's really easy to prove you're not a troll if no fact you aren't.
And why would Belintar want to be the OOO? The Only Old One rules the Shadowlands, not the Holy Country, and that's quite a different thing. Why didn't Stalin become Czar?
