One of the hardest parts about posting topics in this forum is having to remember the date. Time is fundamentally unknowable and indeterminant, driven by its own strange methods and stranger goals. What was I talking about again?

Anyway, I'm betting 50/50 odds that the reveal will be either that the dragon is actually the elected leader of a republic or that the dragon has some specific noble title other than king.

That or the dragon is a Prince-bishop. It's an extreme long shot, but it would be very funny (I generally think a lot of the political and governmental weirdness of IRL medieval Europe is underrepresented by fantasy media in general so maybe I'm biased).
A central philosophical issue with worlds, possible or impossible, is how they represent what they represent. This is obviously connected to the problem of what kind of things they are. Perhaps impossible worlds are metaphysically different from possible worlds, and represent in a different way. Or perhaps they are metaphysically on par with possible worlds. Or, they may be taken as nonexistent objects. Or as abstract entities which represent by encoding...

I'm sort of the same way, really.
