Like a lot of stuff coming out about Kralorela lately (hell notes, eighth bridge, the heavenly kingdoms, etc.) this is a great example of whacky Gloranthan creativity at its best*! Are we talking a humilated prisoner, held up to ridicule in a golden cage (sort of like, say, the Emperor Romanus Diogenes wasn't?), a tame Prince Orhan-like pretender held in reserve as a diplomatic bargaining chip, or something completely different?
I love the idea of a Lunar pretender's court, perhaps with his own Hell Sisters (his own Great Sister?), living in a pale parody of the real thing at the Celestial Emperor's pleasure.
*though not as absolutely mind-meltingly weird as someone's recent suggestion
that people would pop down to their local Uleria temple to play *bingo*!
Cheers,
MOB
