They can be a mercenary realm again, but not under KK, I think. KK would have to switch stances to make sure we can be mercenary again, and then a new King/Queen dedicated to the mercenary tradition of Darka would have to arise after that, and make that clear to everyone...
I think without KK Darka's mercenary days would of ended a long time ago. Perhaps to in fighting or it would of went out in a blaze of glory. That would be a fun ride.
Is Hammersett destroyed yet? The South has a giant last I heard maybe they will make things a little bit interesting if they ever manage to throw some of that weight around they have acquired.
This political shift you speak of would be interesting if it happens just like that damion invasion im still waiting for
