Oh he's definitely not dumb! I just wonder how the conflict gets resolved when idealism (we saved the world, etc.) comes into conflict with reality--the default assumption *should be* that the people of Fabul, Damcyan, Mysidia, and Eblan hate the people of Baron and don't understand why their rulers are so friendly with Cecil after what the Red Wings did, and I have my doubts that Joe the Plumber is going to understand, much less accept, the explanation of GOLBEZ MAGIC GO.

That's one of the things I'm messing around with in Every Light, because I really want to know how that works out.

And it's also old style politics, where a change of monarch really would make a massive difference to people.

Yes. And also I have to wonder how good a ruler Odin was - the kingdom's had at least a year of evil rulership at worst and no rulership at best, so Cecil has to reassemble the mechanics of government.

Given that we also know that Baron has a noble class (cf. the information about Rosa being noble-born in the instruction booklet for the DS remake) I assume that Baron operates on a largely feudal structure, meaning that the nobility probably got a heady taste of power while Cecil et al. were off saving the world, and they are unlikely to want to give that up now that he's back and being like "o hai, I iz king nao." So I wonder how that plays out, also.
