Were Okatogg and Hulushka also terrible rulers? Knowing this world they probably were but to which degree?
Yes, Okatogg and Hulushka were terrible rulers. So terrible, in fact, that they are infamously known as "The Worst Great Leaders on Looming Gaia".
So far, theirs is the first and only Great Kingdom to experience total collapse. This collapse is attributed directly to their poor decision making.
Their main problem was their sheer hubris. They had way too much confidence in their divine powers and believed that they were immune to negative consequences. The Bormek Commonwealth developed at a breakneck pace, growing from a few straw huts to a mechanical megalopolis in less than a century.
Okatogg and Hulushka became obsessed with growth. For some time, their kingdom was the richest and most powerful one on Looming Gaia, but that wasn't enough for them. They wanted more. They wanted to conquer all of Looming Gaia and dominate the planet itself, so that nothing could ever oppose them.
What they failed to understand is that growth cannot continue endlessly. At some point growth becomes cancerous, and their Great Kingdom was starting to become a cancer upon Gaia's body.
One fateful day, they declared war on nature, intending to force every last nymph to submit to them.
We all know how that went...
