This is a great schtick. Well we can think of one that gets solved - multiple potential leaders. There must be some point where Broyan asserts his leadership over all the competiting claims and gets recognized as the last free king, even by those who might make that claim (Kallyr, Leika, Kallai?).

Maybe it was just more self-aware in 1621. However, I like the idea that things just "clicked" in 1619. Somehow, the defenders all cooperated and defeated the Bat.
