There is a remedy for that. ;P Watch GoT. If you think it is too overrated(and you shouldn't because other people's opinions do not mean shit) or just don't have time, then try the novels. :D It's a great franchise.

If you want a more futuristic story that is also by HBO, try Westworld, which just saw its first season finale and it is goddamn brilliant. Blows everything else out of the water with utterly fantastic writing.

Also, Acno technically became King by default or by infamy. Irene was probably from a royal line or one decided by popular vote. :P

I'm guessing they go under one major ruler and then sub-rulers based on their element. A dragon of the wrong element will not be able to do much in a Fire Dragon biome that is within volcanic mountains or in Earth Dragon biomes that are deep underground. Makes sense that they choose a king suitable for their habitat. Makes sense to have a ruler that all the biome heads bow down to as well. Since Acno was able to wipe out dragons in ALL the biomes, that makes him the superior entity.
