'Legitimate King of Tarsh' is, I suspect, debated by various Tarshite factions:

>From KoS

"Hon Eel's son was born after nine months, and with Lunar ceremony was baptized Phoronestes and named heir to the kingdom. The viceroy's decreed that all who did not accept the heir would be outlaws and exiles. Many regions, tired of war, surrendered. But the tribes southeast, protected by the line of forts from Dunstop to Goldedge to Slavewall, refused to submit, and the kingdom was fractured. The non-  tribes, called the Tarsh Exiles, ..."

Surely their 'exile' nature is due to the fact that they do not recognise the 'King of Tarsh'.
