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.) The position of emperor persisted in Shallam right up until the [[Seleucar]]ian conquest of the city, after which it would have been a peerage faux pas – gauche at best, traitorous at worst – for the Shallamese leaer to wear any rank above that of "king."

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]]. Given the numeral suffix "III," it is possible that at least two emperors came before Rakmarkha III – and likely, given his reign at the very downfall of the empire, that there were more predecessors still. With the sinking of Kasmarkin and the dissemination of the [[Troll]]ish peoples, this position all but dissipated into the annals of history.
