The player driven lore that was accepted by Igiss and made part of the story line is that there were two figures at the top of the Kusari government. The first being the Emperor, who was a strong leader, but really a figurehead for the Council of the Rising Suns and the Shogun. The Shogun was the leader of the Military (Played by Lotek) and the Emperor was the head of the civil government (player by me) That was how Kusari was Rped before the coup. This was integrated into the mod storyline. In the storyline both of these characters were stuck in Bretonia after the coup. This is not what the Vanilla storyline was, it was adapted by the players who were rping at the time and was taken on by disco as the Lore of Kusari.
As hypocritical as this post is given that it comes from somebody who has shown very strong opposition to player driven anything when it suits them, Zelot is right here. We're not playing vanilla, we're playing Discovery. For better or worse, this is the way people have chosen to play it, with some very interesting effects on the game world.
I'm not sure if you're pointing these vanilla references (or lack thereof) for the sake of pointing them out, or if you actually want to retcon years of player written lore, but the latter shouldn't and isn't going to happen.
