REAL tyrants weren't feared because they could send red letters.
They were feared because they could pull strings. So maybe the ruler
can't kick out a noble, or take away his tax share. But if he's a tyrant
worthy of the term, he damn sure can make those things happen to you.
And THAT is real power, not having the button.
