King of Agaland

"To be king is to be the highest order in the land. A lofty title, seen only for the perks and benefits. A thin line separates a King and a Tyrant. A King shoulders the burden of his people's greater issues and protects the people from those issues. A Tyrant only serves himself, oppressing the people." - King Heimrein Steelheart IV
