I suspect a simpler way to phrase it would be: It is a thing that is likely to substantially change the status quo, so are you unhappy with the current status quo where you are currently the ruler of this world?
I’m inclined to agree. And to point out that Josie’s self centered, instant gratification mindset is pretty much guaranteed to make her not consider that. So I can’t wait to see this blow up in her face.
Or golems. Could also just be the brain of a golem, which then yoinks up materials to reconnect itself. King-olem (or queen-golem) then kicks all these ‘new’ monarchs out, and re-establishes its’ rule. Mister Viking King realized that he’d -really- rather the golem was back and ruling things because, frankly, people are crazy and he’d rather the golem handle them then him (Heck, maybe his reasoning was as simple as ‘Dear god they went mad max, I need to seem so evil just to stay safe), but the Troll king actually had a pretty well-maintained, straightforward setup.
Perfect for those cheap penknife sized LED torches that people buy, then forget about and when they finally remember, the batteries have leaked, ruining the torch.
GG is misrepresenting what the King said: he just said that “legend says that, when brought together, they bestow great power to whomever controls them” (proper punctuation marks are my own, else it’s literal): http://superredundant.com/?comic=811-trinkets-of-doom
I sincerely hope it’s not just ‘friendship’ or ‘the journey’ or some other meta bs like that. I mean I’m a sappy person, 100% and I even enjoy things poking fun at that old trope. But after all this build-up I expect us to at least get something crazy. Not necessarily satisfying but crazy.
They could have been at Keith and Bad Good Girl’s party that’s PROBABLY still going. And may or may not have involved the cops and the power group or whatever getting involved! We don’t know! We’re stuck following this! So I want us to at least get something more than just ‘your reward for gathering all these is the friendship of the companions and friends you made on the way to get them’.
Has there been any mention of money in this setting yet? Or religion?

It’s the previous legitimate government that Helliotrope the Witch-Girl deposed?
The people who ran said government must be very tiny then…

It’s also (probably) small enough to fit in three small boxes when you break it apart.
3 AAA batteries.

So in other words, it’s powerful in all the ways you haven’t thought of yet? I know what’s in the box. It’s The Exam!
So it’s a very mysterious and powerful device, and it’s mystery is exceeded only by it’s power…
i’m betting on the evidences of the human king’s embarrassing youth adventures, stuff that he wants to hide from everyone and hold power over him
When assembled they become the Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator that Marvin Martian intended to use to blow up the earth.

And the “elf” said that all she knew is that it was an object split into three and forbidden to mess with: http://superredundant.com/?comic=823-deeper-and-deeper
Ah, OK, it was the Orc King who said all that: http://superredundant.com/?comic=844-piece-of-the-puzzle
Great Googlie Mooglies! The 3 boxes hold the elements of a Starbucks franchise?

I hope its not a smartphone, its battery and a sim.
