IC: *Williamus steps forward.* "Hold on. 'My king'? The Phoenix are not under tribute to the eagles, Apollo. This.." *Williamus notices Vamprah is still in the room* "..eagle should not be your king if you are to resume your position."
I know. I am expressing gratitude.
Erdrik: “Of course. We are equals in this alliance. My goal isn’t to dominate Chima and its people, but to defend them.”
IC: Set-Ra paces the throne room in thought, having just cancelled this month's fire chi shipments to all tribes and factions other than the Eagles and Wolves, as Galvanor had requested. He didn't make a public announcement of this, in order to prolong an outcry for as long as possible, but he knows it won't be long before the tribes realize that they're not getting new shipments of fire chi. With the threat of the Sabertoothes and Icebears still looming despite the long standstill in their invasion, Galvanor's idea of fire chi exclusivity is clearly meant to force the other southern tribes to join Primordium. After all, the last thing the southern tribes would want is to run out of fire chi during the inevitable battle with the Ice Hunters. Additionally, the Hunters will soon notice this lessening supply of fire chi, and see this as a perfect time to attack, hastening the process further.
Set-Ra thinks: "So in other words, Galvanor is essentially using the Fire-Ice War for his own war. Clever... I still consider him an ally, but does he really think he's in control of these events?"
The Phoenix King grins to himself, and is soon called by Galvanor once again, this time to to go Eagle Spire in person, along with Lobo. Set-Ra departs.

OOC: Needless to say, I think Williamus and Octavius would have made themselves privy to the Phoenix King's plan to ensure he's not being used as a puppet, and that he has his own plans.

OOC: Yeah, Set-Ra has devised his own plan involving the "fire chi tax", unbeknownst to Galvanor.

OOC: Yeah, Set-Ra has devised his own plan involving the "fire chi tax", unbeknownst to Galvanor.
OOC: Hey
OOC: Oh, is that you Guru? Here's a recap of what happened while you were gone, from the "Complete Timeline" (I had been controlling your characters after you left, since they're the leaders of Primordium):
Lycor, who’d survived the Battle of the Phoenix Isles, ends up on New Bat Island; he meets with Bliston, who reaffirms that the Bats had destroyed the only Manta Ray Empire scout ship that’d ever come near, and the Bat King states that he will side with the Chima Alliance if necessary, to prevent Primordium from starting an unnecessary war with the foreign tribe; Lycor returns to Lion City, is coronated as King, and makes a speech to Chima, revealing Erdrik’s true identity as Galvanor the gryphon, and declaring that he will capture the false Eagle King in order to prevent him from invading the Mantas and making the Empire aware of Chima’s existence; this begins the Second Chima Civil War.
In response to Lycor's speech, Galvanor makes a public address to Chima, removing his mask and briefly explaining the history of the fallen Gryphon Tribe, and his claim to the Eagle throne through adoption; after declaring that he will destroy the Manta Ray Empire before they can destroy Chima regardless of who allies with him, Galvanor immediately has any known eagle dissenters captured before they can fight against his leadership; he grows weary of the Forgotten living in the Eagle lands, and contacts Set-Ra, convincing the Phoenix King to cut off fire chi shipments to all tribes and factions outside of Primordium.
Wol'jin secretly forms the Government Restoration Party within his tribe with the other wolves who want to remove Lobo from his seat of power; he contacts Lycor and the leaders of Unichi, who all agree to help him reclaim his presidency and remove the Wolves from Primordium; Wol'jin meets with Ghana, Craunus Maximus, and Leon in the Great Forest to plan this operation.
Lycor sends Lyn back to the Crocodile Swamp, along with reinforcements, to secure the Lions' claim to the northern half of the region; however, despite Lyn being there to "negotiate", this is actually a plan to draw in and kill Sobek, to remove Primordium of one of its leaders; Whit interrupts the standoff between Lyn and Sobek before the battle can begin, but he quickly leaves, only for crocs led by Queen Carina to arrive, exposing Sobek as a pretender to the throne; Sobek escapes with the Crocs in hot pursuit, and after being notified of this, Lycor has the Lions abandon their claim to the swamp.
An apparent Scorpion traitor, Scodrick, is sent to Saber Mountain by the Icebears to inquire the returned Finglor about the Ice Hunters' alliance; Finglor's wife, the White Lioness, takes a force of Sabertoothes to accompany Scodrick to the Outlands, through ancient tunnels below the Iron Mountains; Lycor contacts the Bears, and finds out that Blitz Bridger and Baldemar had both disappeared, leaving the tribe in the hands of General Wotjek, who had merged the majority of the Bears with the Forgotten; Lycor instructs the Bear Commander he talks with to shape the remaining Chima Alliance Bears into a fighting force, and await further orders.
After finding out about Sobek's usurping and the subsequent removal of the Crocodile Tribe from Primordium, Galvanor calls Set-Ra and Lobo to attack the Lion City with him, in order to eliminate or capture Lycor and end the war; in the Minor Tribes HQ, Petricoff and Fives find out that their leader, Traxx, has abruptly left; they, as well as the Gorillas, are then notified of Primordium's attack on the Lion City; in the Croc Swamp, Carina puts her plan to rescue Crogar into action, and the Crocodiles begin swimming north through Chima's rivers.
TL;DR- Status of your characters:
Lobo: Still leading the Wolves, attacking the Lion City.
Set-Ra: Still leading the Phoenix, attacking the Lion City.
Sobek: Overthrown, no longer leading the Crocs, but I had him escape so you could continue role playing as him.

OOC: I guess he could "reveal his true name". Well Sobek would be on the West Sea now, since he swam out of the Croc Swamp. Your other two characters and their armies are at Lion City.
