Is that the case then? I have no idea, AFAIK I'm the only ruler who's ever willingly abdicated during a rebellion
But yes, it would seem illogical. I always assumed Fulco didn't see the need for a reformation. Luria is and always will be a Monarchy, I simply can't imagine it working under a different system. Well, maybe a Tyranny, but that word has a particularly bad ring to it around Luria
Merlin rebelled in Coria and the ruler at the time abdicated. Merlin was unable to reform the government and Tim clarified that was the case at the time.
