* '''Reconstructed''': Sofia recognizes both her own limitations in the fine points of administration and the usefulness of consultative bodies to get input from the ruled. Therefore, she organizes a reasonably independent civil service along with a broad-based parliament to handle most of the actual day-to-day governance while she directs most of her arcane might towards disaster relief and external defense.

* '''Inverted''': SourcerousOverlord
* '''Subverted''': Queen Sofia adopts the look of a good benevolent ruler, but is really a cruel corrupt tyrant who terroizes her subjects with black magic
