Hey all!
So - Kirin was a raid to take over Ischia as an outside force. In the past raids typically involved one kingdom vs. another, or just a party coming together to raid another kingdom to either take over or for fun. That's the need for the IC part, because in character the raiding party had to be created. So that's doesn't fit the current narrative because that was a raid.
Belgarath was challenging Magnus for the throne, which was a direct challenge to the leader.
Heda is invoking the following rule - "A non-resident horse can declare themselves the new leader, with permission from an owner, though the other members of the land do not have to accept them." Since the leaders are inactive she's coming in to try to take over, but there's no owner saying she HAS to take over, just that she can come in and say "I want this land" and everyone has the right to either accept her or kick her out.
You're right - this does point out the need for more precise rules about the types of overthrows and what it takes to do them. As a group we'll work to update the rules for specifics about the ways you can overthrow a current active ruler, a current inactive ruler, or raid a kingdom vs mutiny (from within).
