Just to bring in the legalese - the legal precedent for reactivating a King is:
1) The Treaty of Thoth
This treastise, passed by the Imperial Parliament of the Old World and still binding, clarifies the political status of Kingdoms as "potentially inactive, but always Divine". In other words, a Crown will forever be recognized as a Kingdom, but may lose specific political powers (i.e voting ability) when designated innactive. There is substantial communal agreement that, when the Regent left Hermertia, the Minervan Crown remained Divine but the Regent became innactive and lost his voting powers.
The Treaty of Thoth also clearly states the way in which a Crown designated Inactive may be reactivated - "by a unanimous vote of the active members of the Council of the Crowned".
Right now, the active members of the Council of the Crowned are:
Arjen IV
Vaethra
Freyr Eberhardt
Regent would require all three to approve his reactivation - he would then be designated as "Active".
2) The Indoles Carta
The current iteration of the Indoles Carta, passed by the Imperial Parliament takes its inspiration from the Treaty of Thoth and lays out the same system for the reactivation of a Crown:
Quote: 5.3.1 A abdicated king may resume kingdom status upon a unanimous vote from the Council of the Crowned, When they return they are given the title of Honorary King. They retain all the rights to their lands, vassals, etc. but do not have a vote on the council until the council has decided that they are truly dedicated to the server upon return. They can do this by participating in community projects, developing their own lands, and taking part in the forums and legal discussions.
Both these sources concur: with a unanimous vote from Arjen IV, Vaethra, and Freyr Eberhardt, Regent would be restored to "Active" status and be allowed to vote on legislation.
