Rulers of the Euluskan Empire

The Euluskan Empire was the world's main power from the year zero to the year 1519. It ruled much of the world, spread its language and culture to three-quarters of all living people, and generally impacted history a lot. It was ruled by an Emperor or Empress, who was believed to be the mouthpiece that the main of the 3 goddesses, Maiöna, spoke through. Rulers were believed to be vested with the divine right of power during their rulership, but that divine right could be challenged as false or even won by another - think of it like whoever was chose as emperor was deemed closest to the gods.
== Notes ==
The Emperor was chosen by the Electors - see Euluskan Nobility & Electors for information. The Euluska title for the Emperor was Reku in Old Euluska, and Rettu /rɛcu/ - the tt in Euluska is sort of a 'wet T' sound, like if you isolate the sound in "thankyou".
