Emperor

The leader of the Forstem Empire is granted the title Emperor. During the course of the Empire's 1000 year existence, there have been 51 Emperors.

While the Emperor in theory holds absolute power in the Empire, the Councils ensure that induvidual Emperors do not favour certain areas and peoples more then others, and help keep their actions in check. Each Emperor is drawn from one of the seven Grand Noble Families of the Empire, and give up any previous titles and holdings upon ascension. As such, it is not uncommon for a member of the Houses who is not in direct line for any lands or titles to become elected, including women who are normally skipped over with inheritance entirely.
