And why it *isn't* so good to be the king!

There is no real good outcome for the king in this case. He either goes to war with the temple, loses most of his warband, and pisses off all the other Humakti in the area, or loses Honor and pisses off you, your clan, and Orlanth. Oh, well, at least going to war with the Humakti Temple it isn't Kinstrife...
