Sultan of Kelimaria

The Sultan of Kelimaria is the hereditary and monarchic ruler of the Sultanate of Kelimaria. The title of sultan is equivalent to that of king, or arguably, over-king or emperor. In principle, sultanic powers are near-absolute; in practice, a sultan's political position relative to Kelimaria's major emirs and nobles may constrain him to a greater or lesser degree, and while some sultans have been extremely strong, others have been nearly powerless. The Kelimarian Sultan traditionally holds court in the age-old royal capital of Yhimir, where the Palace of One Thousand Gates and the Topaz Throne are located.
A sultanic dynasty (of which there have been several over Kelimaria's history) will sometimes be referred to by the throne-name of its founding sultan, which will in turn be used as part of the regnal name of each sultan in his line after him. By this convention, the most recent would have been the Banuviri Sultanate (although in common usage, this is rare, and most people will simply speak of "the Kelimarian sultanate"). The last sultan of this dynasty was Olugar IX, who was killed, along with his adopted son and chosen heir Rouam of Yarat, in battle against Gol Garga's horde in 1247 CV. Their deaths, combined with the devastation inflicted throughout Kelimaria by the orcish horde, caused the collapse of the sultanate and allowed the various smaller Kelimarian states to reassert their independence. 
This interregnum continues up to the present day; however, Rouam the Younger, nephew of Rouam of Yarat, has just made his own claim to the Topaz Throne. It remains to be seen whether he is able to re-establish the Banuviri sultanate and bring the Kelimarian states under Yhimir's authority again. It is quite possible that rival claimants could soon emerge, or that the various emirates of Kelimaria will resist subordination to a new sultan, in which case war could break out.
