This would be fine, except that Glorantha already has a Pharoah that does this, so simply repeating this for the Lunar Empire is a Big Yawn.

The Pharoah even claims rulership of the six disparate parts of his empire (the Holy Country) in this fashion (ie. as Corn King in Esrolia, The Man Who Broke the Bank in God Forgot, etc.)
As I said before, we already have way-cool, MGFly resonant GAG covering the Red Emperor, his succession and his court. Glorantha is supposed to be a weird, wonderful magically diverse place. Why knock out a carbon copy of another region's politico-magical structure when there's already an entertaining, *popular* model in place? Unless Belintar is going to be next victim of a "rethink"?

In the case of His Imperial Highness, surely it would have to be a "Royale with Cheese"?
