When was it said they had a king? Vacuo has a council assumedly like the other kingdoms, but their only stable form of gov is Shade Academy, meaning the Council is effectively useless outside of maintaining Shade.

Not a king exactly, but it was stated they had a queen in the great war that fought beside Oz, but from the way it has been described everywhere it peripherally has been, such a monarchy is either powerless now, or established only in national emergency, requiring something akin to Skyrim's kingsmoot to select a champion granted emergency powers to decide to do something like war on a united front, in other words, we'd have to have missed what is arguably as compelling a quest as RWBY's just establishing it, something a person would need to have been compelled by... Shade getting full for some reason?

I just don't see that happening before Atlas falls.
