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 leader to wear any rank above that of "king." | The first known person to achieve the rank was Emperor [[Sulaiman]] of [[Shallam]].

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]].

Centuries later, the rise of the [[Seleucarian Empire]] lent nobility to the progenitor of the most famous of all royal bloodlines – Emperor [[Nicator]], whose descendants the [[deSangre]]s ruled the continent for nigh on 800 years.
