The first known person to achieve the rank was Emperor [[Sulaiman]] of [[Shallam]]. (Though it is likely that [[Lorielan]] became empress of the [[Crystal Realm]] long before Sulaiman was born, this title was probably interpreted ex post facto during [[Kx'Khrah]] translation due to the fact that the [[Wars of Succession|Succession]]-era Orin Grandier coined the feminine form.)

Some time during the span of Shallamese emperors, the kings of the [[Kasmarkin]] empire also opted to bear the title. Chiefly known among these was [[Rakmarkha III]], last emperor of [[Kasmarkin]].

With the sinking of Kasmarkin and the dissemination of the [[Troll]]ish peoples, this position all but dissipated into the annals of history. | Some time during the span of Shallamese emperors, the kings of the [[Kasmarkin]] empire also opted to bear the title.
