| Just a quick fly-by because I'm sumerged in the world of Fanfiction 
Reggie, your idea that the Royal Seal is not so important is very interesting. Probably the Seal serves only as some sort of ID. I mean, on a society where shapeshifters are around, it would be wise to have some way to certify that your ruler is really your ruler  (Thanks to Kathy for that explanation on her fic )
On the other hand, like Isabel so wisely said once: You want to be the leader? See how it works without any followers. Are the people on Antar obligued to follow whoever has the Seal? I think not...
We don't know if the Seal has any meaning beyond identifying the "true" king. We don't even know if Zan had the Seal either, which would be confusing because then you would have two true kings... Or if there's more to it... But as you said, Khivar is ruling without the darn thing.... Okay, he has a civil war on his hands, but he's still up there 
Now I'll go back to my fanfics
