Once the civil war starts up, Broyan could assert primacy over the Hendriki (with the aid of the Larnsti) hence the High King title. Or maybe High King means recognition by the Bacofi, Kultain and Sylangi?

King of the Volsaxi in the North.
Full entry:
"In 1617 the King of Heortland died heirless. During
the ensuing civil war Malkioni adventurers invaded and
their leader, Sir Richard the Tiger-hearted, became
King of Malkonwal, ruler of the Hendrieki. The
Orlanthi chieftain Brian of Whitewall became King of
the Volsaxi in the north."
Which implies to me that Brian was "of Whitewall" before he became King of the Volsaxi, and was a "chieftain" (whatever that means). In 1613 Kallyr joins "King Broyan at Whitewall" - is this title a mistake, or was he king of *something* this early?
He did rather well out of the 1617 civil war. It was in 1617 that Kallyr "leaves Sartar to personally serve King Broyan"... possibly he had some help?
