That's funny. I never even noticed it was supposed to be an LBQ of sorts. I just thought it a quest related to the Pharaoh.

Well, that doesn't prove anything, does it? The entrants for MoLaD don't have to be the 6 rulers of the lands, do they? In fact, if I recall, they don't get to choose to be in it at all, they just wake up trapped in the tournament. Which at least explains why they would be in it, since the reward is being taken over by another person's soul.
I always figured your best bet was to survive it, but not "win" it. (Presumably what Rikard does.)
