: While searching for where it says Alric was king of the
: Southern Provence, I stumbled across this: -Alric
: (Emperor) Flavor Text, Myth II
: "Alric, then simply a wizard of immense power and
: not a King, plotting and fighting against the walking
: dead without so much as a scratch on his chin from
: Balor's rotting armies?"
: -Prologue, Myth II Manual
: "An Avatara of years past, Alric is the only
: surviving member of the Nine sorcerers who opposed the
: Fallen Lords during the Great War. Alric reclaimed his
: throne after defeating Balor. He has spent the last
: sixty years rebuilding the Province."
: How could he reclaim his throne if he was not a king?
: (The throne is not what makes you a king.)
There's no contradiction here. He fought off Balor, then reclaimed his throne afterward. The two bits are refering to different points in time.
