It is without dispute even between the most critical of historians that the Dominion of the Tretallë was the greatest and most expansive empire of the ancient world. In fact, very few would even contest that it did not remain so until the modern-day, though understandably, its influence had faded by then. However, it is also widely agreed that in order to rule an empire as large as the Dominion, the Tretallë required a more powerful, authoritative, and effective government than most other empires of its time just to cope. If the success of the Bone Elves through the eras is any indication, they had just that and more.
The Pale Imperator
"Metyperrë Di'Adeýla Cilanannë! Csânkîdë fitë anvë Teýna kirannë D'Khagirri Teýna s'maidnë un s'tantë!"
"The Pale Imperator approaches! Tremble before Him for great and terrible is His Might!"
—D'Cilanannë Di'Tretallë(The Emperor of the Dominion)
by Nevantë a'Vatagan, Historian.
Di'Adeýla Cilanannë in the native tongue of his people, the Pale Imperator was arguably the most important and most powerful man in the medieval world whenever he sat on the Ivory Throne.
After all, what is an empire without its emperor? When the Ivory Throne is filled, there is only one man who wields absolute power in the Dominion, and that man is the Pale Imperator. His word can be overridden, but if and only if the Court of Ravens and the House of Crows decide unanimously to veto his will. This is quite a rare occurrence as the Pale Imperator is raised from one of the Nine Houses of the Azure Blood and Houses are unlikely to vote against themselves. Even then, this power of veto is reserved solely for wartime efforts. In all other matters, the Imperator's word is literally law.
He is the sole possessor of the Cileda—the Divine Right—bestowed upon him by the will of the Stranger and the Stranger's hand in the world—The Ivory Throne.
