Three days have passed, and the reconnaissance has gone well. There's now a clear picture of the area in which the ship has crashed. To the east lie mountains, populated by dragons and their servants. They're powerful, and should probably be avoided.
To the west and north lie entire kingdoms of people like the King; you now know that he's a child, and that the adults of his kind look somewhat more real. They don't seem to have much in the way of magic, and it looks like there's a great deal of political turmoil among and within the kingdoms, verging on open warfare in places.
To the south lie uncultivated lands containing the ruins of towns and castles. The ruins look to be hundreds of years old, but the border between that uncultivated area and the kingdoms east of it is very clearly delineated, which seems strange.
The ship will take more magic than is currently available to repair, but a start could be made by removing some of the good cut stone from ruins to the south. Efforts to contact local authorities were broken off when it became clear that there are wars starting. Efforts to contact a global defence force like your own, by magic, have received peculiar results; there are apparently several groups claiming precedence under the names of "The Defenders", "The New Crimson Empire", "The Eight", and "The Revenant Gods".
The question asked of the King about how he could be served and who his enemies are got a confused and unclear response, and the child fell asleep soon after. In the days since, he's been telling people to let him think, and sometimes marching people in circles and lines, which is an entertainment that he doesn't seem to tire of.
Now, however, there's a more immediate concern. Someone has apparently shown the King how to extend his voice throughout the ship from the bridge, and his high-pitched tones echo around you, "I've changed my mind. You can stop the marching - I want you to take over the world and make me King of Everything!".
