The first known person to achieve the rank was Emperor [[Sulaiman]] of [[Shallam]]. (Although 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 | 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 scattering of the [[Troll]]ish people, this position all but dissipated into the annals of history. | ||
Directly after the demotion of the last Shallamese emperor, 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. With the fall of the Empire by the hands and blades of the [[Sapient League]], the position of emperor was again snuffed from the face of [[Sapience]]. | Directly after the demotion of the last Shallamese emperor, 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.

In the year 922 AF, the mortal city of Ashtan became the first empire since Seleucar's fall, claiming victory through conquest and donning the mantle of Eldritch Empire of Ruin. | In the year 922 AF, the [[mortal]] city-state of Ashtan became the first empire on Sapience since Seleucar's fall, claiming victory through conquest and donning the mantle of [[Eldritch Empire of Ruin]]. | ||
On a more minor note, declarations were made in 184 AF for the formation of the [[Kharon Empire]]. Never fully recognised by Sapience as a political entity in its own right, the self-proclaimed empire dissolved in 187 AF, reformed in 200 AF, and dissolved again in the same year due to an inability to be taken seriously. | On a more minor note, declarations were made in 184 AF for the formation of the [[Kharon Empire]].
