This was a great story, and leaves us with so much to imagine about the future off the characters. Although we was not looking for titles, and probably wouldn't even be super comfortable with then, I wish Rupe would get some, and the world recognition he deserves. He was not a ruler like the emperor and the king, but was the enabler of events, with his care for the boys and his sense of honor. I like to imagine that between the Emperor, the Kings and the Patriarch, they made him a Prince and responsible for the 3 Ancient sites. Apart from the Emperor and Kings, he was probably the best to communicate with the Oracle and help guide humanity in their New Earth.
