I think this is based on extremely thin data. The only indication I think
even begins to be useful is the fact that someone reportedly tried to
assassinate Tortaalik early in his reign - earlier than 17**2 years into
it iirc. Maybe Alexx has made some sense of that part of history, I
haven't had a chance to look - but either 17**2 is bogus, or two
emperors/turn is possible, or two Phoenix emperors/turn is possible
(either of which would make most of the discussion in _FHYA_ nonsensical,
as T could have resigned the throne to a Phoenix) - or the premise is
wrong and the goblets were intended to disable T leaving the Throne weak.
