Today at 19 Decembre 2024 is the historical day Winter (Aragon) was finally crowned after 20 years of uncrowned legitimate heir of the Human kingdom.
And of course he does that in a way which breaks paradigms: it is unclear now whether Atlas will remain king but for a moment we have/had two kings, and the first Nonhuman to be crowned king of the (now fallen) Human kingdom.
The kingdom doesn't exist anymore but now finally all the Winterson princes are fully princes for real.
The situation is pretty uncertain right now, we'll see how this goes.
I (Andrew, today's reporter) am happy having two kings, the rules of the old kings don't matter anymore, they are gone, their time is gone, their kingdom is gone, felled by the Nonhumans they disappropriated and tortured, it's the age of the Daybreak, our new kings can do whatever they want, so why not two kings? What if they both deserve it?
The king should always have been Aragon, says Atlas himself; but that wouldn't have changed history, says Winter; the population, the clergy and the army would have still done what they did, we can't change what happened, but we can change the present and the future.
For clarity: the title of king doesn't really mean anything in practice anymore, but this is very symbolic.
