This was a long time coming (narratively and gameplay wise of course) and though historically having the confused mix of powers stagnated the Commonwealth, Zygmunt's cruelty and trying to provoke things really makes the case that there should be a check on the royal power.
Of course, I have a feeling he'll live up to the 'August' part of his name and emerge victorious from the ashes. Though it would be wonderfully ironic if after asserting royal power that the Lanckoronskis lost power. (Maybe I am reading foreshadowing into Miesko Sierakowski's royal relationship where there is none.)
Great read, thank you.
