Emperor

*For wife/husband of a reigning Emperor/Empress, see Consort.*

*"The Emperor/Empress is the head of state, sovereign ruler, and monarch of the Empire. He or Her duty is of imperial authority to protect our citizens from our enemies. He or she also had full authority as the head of the foremost administrative body in the Cyrodilic government."*
―Valeric Sallick
The title of **Emperor** or **Empress**, officially known as the **Imperial monarch** or **Imperial sovereign**, is the monarch and head of state for the entire Empires of Cyrodiil, previously Tamriel. It has also been applied to the rulers of the Reman, the Septim, the Mede, the Varian, and the Avento dynasties, as well as the rulers of an independent Cyrodiil during the Interregnum. With the title inherited through blood by the first-born male child of the current emperor, the title has been bestowed upon daughters and dowagers.

Since the rule of Slave-Queen Alessia, the Amulet of Kings has traditionally been a symbol of the Emperor's power, with the Aedric relic being the means by which the ceremonial Dragonfires were lit within Temple of the One, at the Emperor's seat of power, the Imperial City. This tradition has been abandoned since during the Oblivion Crisis while the Amulet of Kings was shattered and the Dragonfires were lit permanently, both but later restored by the Varians. The current reigning Empress is Romana Avento II who acceded to the Ruby Throne in year 5E 991.

## Ascension

Emperors or Empresses ascend to the throne through bloodlines, and is a hereditary monarchy, a succession of power in which the throne passes from one member of a ruling family to another member of the same family. The title is usually handed from father to son, upon the death of the former. The title has been handed to dowagers of Emperors, most notably Katariah. In the absence of an heir, the Empires successions were different, during the time of the Second Empire the Akaviri Potentate ruled in the Emperors stead. During the Third Empire the Elder Council elected a Potentate to rule in the Emperor's place until a suitable alternative can be crowned. However after the Varian Ruby Rebellion ended with the either death or disappearance of Potentate-Emperor Antonius Mede, General Reman Varian become the founder and first Emperor of the Fourth Empire, as well as the start of the Varian Dynasty.

Every coronation of a newly crowned Emperor or Empress, he/she wore a golden crown, the Red Dragon Crown and the Amulet of Kings a Crown Jewel, as well to light the Dragonfires at the Temple of the One to keep the barrier shut between Tamriel and Oblivion. The original Red Golden Crown, it had with sapphires, amethysts, emeralds and a ruby as decoration. After the original was completely destroyed, it was redesigned by the Varian Dynasty, which had a massive change, and now a Gold and Ruby Circlet.

## Role

The Emperor or Empress is the monarch and the head of state of the Empires of Cyrodiil. The Emperor or Empress has the ability to declared the opening of the Elder Council, deny giving a bill royal assent as well as to choose and dismiss the Elder Councilor or any Minister of Government with or without cause; however, no Monarch has exercised the latter powers since Emperor Antonius Mede dismissed the Council in year 4E 120, sparking a crisis and eventually a civil war. The monarch's term of the Empire, normally the ascended monarch reign until his/her death is most likely. But most monarchs may face abdication, deposed, assassinated or the abolition of monarchy. The monarch and members of the Royal Family undertake a variety of official, unofficial and other representative duties within Cyrodiil and abroad. The Emperor or Empress and the Empire symbolizes and maintains a feeling of national unity by representing the country in public functions and international meetings.

### Succession

*Further information: Imperial Act of Succession*
The line of succession pervious had primogeniture prior 4E 128. When Reman Varian was crowned emperor in the same year, he disbanded the law of succesion that was used during the Septim Dynasty in the Third Era, and replaced and adopted a new succession law, the Imperial Act of Succession in 4E 147. With this new law, the line of succession had replaced the primogeniture to designation hereditary cognatic primogeniture, allowing both male and female and removing the "first-in-line" succession. However This also implies that if the heir apparent declined to became the next monarch, the next child of the reigning monarch be the heir apparent/presumptive of the Ruby Throne.

## Residence

The official residence of the Emperor/Empress of Cyrodiil is the Imperial Palace in the Imperial City, as well of the monarch's seat of power. It was built and constructed by the Ayleids in the middle Merethic Era.

## History

### Alessian Empire

The first Imperial Empire of Tamriel began with Queen Alessia. The Alessian Empire often called the "First Empire,"*[citation needed]* was founded by Alessia after the overthrow of the Ayleid by the human slaves in Cyrodiil. Outside of historical writings, the term more specifically refers to the Empire as it exists since the unification of Tamriel under Tiber Septim, Emperor of Cyrodiil at the end of the Second Era.*[citation needed]*

### Reman Empire

The birth of the Reman Empire is shrouded in myth.*[citation needed]* It is believed that in the first Interregnum, many lords and warlords fought for the throne, while others searched and prayed to Saint Alessia for the return of the peace brought with the first empire. Hrol, king of what is now known as Old Hroldan, specifically went searching for the spirit of Alessia. He had a vision of her standing with Akatosh, and was seduced by the spirit of Alessia. According to one of his shieldthanes, he "did love unto a hillock" in the belief it was Alessia.

Nine months later, the Hill birthed Reman Cyrodiil, who even as an infant spoke with the voice of an Adult. He marched into The Imperial City and was proclaimed a divine emperor. Reman managed to unite the Empire's claims of Skyrim, High Rock, Hammerfell, Nibenay, and Colovia by repelling Akaviri invaders at Pale Pass.*[citation needed]* Elsweyr and Valenwood were taken militarily in the next decade or so.*[citation needed]* Morrowind never joined the Empire because, as the war between them was concluding, Reman Cyrodiil III and his son were both assassinated by the Morag Tong.*[citation needed]*

The Reman Empire fell twice.*[citation needed]* First it fell at its peak, with the assassination of all Reman Cyrodiil's heirs.*[citation needed]* This led to the slow decline of the empire under the Akaviri potentate, Versidue Shaie, a Tsaesci, who ruled for 430 years and established the Fighters Guild and the Guild's act. in 2E 324, the potentate was assassinated by the Morag Tong and his son, Savirien Chorak, took power. The new potentate swiftly illegalized all Morag Tong operations, in fear of suffering the same fate as his predecessor and father. This eventually led to the formation of the Dark Brotherhood, which, ironically, was responsible for the assassination of the Potentate and all his heirs in the years to come, thus ending the empire.*[citation needed]*

### Septim Empire

A series of non-noteworthy Emperors would follow over the next four hundred years, until the rise to prominence of the Imperial General Talos Stormcrown, also known as Tiber Septim.*[citation needed]* Septim commanded the army and navy of Cyrodiil through a number of victories or stalemates, slowly bringing the independent states of Tamriel under the umbrella of Imperial Provinces. Talos' own emperor was assassinated in 2E 854, leaving the Elder Council in charge of the government and, effectively, putting Tiber Septim in charge of the Empire.*[citation needed]* He continued to press his attacks across Tamriel, until in 2E 896, he enacts a truce between Cyrodiil and Morrowind to bring the Dunmer province into the Empire as a mostly independent province, in return for the aid of the golem Numidium in defeating the rest of the continent.*[citation needed]* Talos succeeds, and is named Emperor Tiber Septim, beginning both the Third Era and the Third Empire, the Septim Empire.*[citation needed]*

During his time as Emperor, Tiber Septim had an affair with a Dunmeri queen named Barenziah. Outraged by the pregnancy, he ordered the child aborted. Barenziah fled the province.

The first few in the line of Septim Emperors ruled with relative peace and prosperity, but within 50 years, mismanagement and political infighting become the norm.*[citation needed]* In more than one case, wars are fought over the throne, including the notable War of the Red Diamond, fought among three surviving heirs.*[citation needed]* Potential kings or queens frequently attack the sitting Emperor, or have him assassinated, and the Empire begins to lose its grip on several provinces.*[citation needed]* It would not be until the reign of Uriel Septim V that the lands of Tamriel were reconquered and the Empire returned to its place of power.*[citation needed]* Unfortunately, Uriel V also chose to launch an ill-planned invasion of Akavir, in which he was defeated soundly and killed.*[citation needed]*

The next generations of Septim rule restored the peace, prosperity, and most importantly, the stability of the Imperial line to Cyrodiil.*[citation needed]* By the time of Pelagius IV and his son, Uriel VII, the Empire was back almost to the height of its power.*[citation needed]*

Uriel VII's reign was overall a stable one, but was dotted with occasional strife and near-catastrophe. His Imperial Battlemage Jagar Tharn, possibly at the urging of Mehrunes Dagon, imprisoned him and ruled in his stead for several years.*[citation needed]* The Emperor escaped just in time to thwart an attempt by the King of Wayrest to conquer Daggerfall.*[citation needed]* By the time of the Dagoth Ur crisis in Morrowind, there was talk of the failing health of the Emperor, and concerns over the future of the Empire.*[citation needed]*

As it turned out, the Emperor's health was not an issue, but he was assassinated trying to flee the Imperial City after learning of the murder of every known heir to the throne.*[citation needed]* Their murderers, a cult called the Mythic Dawn, serving Mehrunes Dagon, were preparing Tamriel for an invasion by the Daedric Lord.*[citation needed]* Septim's one remaining illegitimate son Martin eventually led a defense of the Empire by becoming an avatar of Akatosh and defeating Dagon, but died in the process.*[citation needed]*

The Empire was left without an heir once more, but this time, with no one even distantly related to Tiber Septim available to be crowned.*[citation needed]* The Elder Council, which had essentially ruled during the periods of the weakest emperors, was now officially running the Empire.*[citation needed]* Many provinces floated rumors of dissolving the Empire; after the Oblivion Crisis many provinces left the empire like Black Marsh.*[citation needed]*

After the death of the last Septim and the subsequent beginning of the Fourth Era, the Elder Council struggled to maintain peace in Cyrodiil, placing new Emperors on the throne—none of which were well-taken by the people of the Empire. Eventually a Colovian warlord named Titus Mede conquered the Imperial City with just a thousand men and crowned himself Emperor. Thus began the Mede Dynasty.

### Varian Empire

The next dynasty to rule Cyrodiil is the founding of the Varian Dynasty and establishment of the Fourth Empire when Elder Councilor Reman Varian rose to prominence at the start of a civil war knoqn as Varian Ruby Rebellion, which the main goal is to deposed tyrannical Emperor Antonius Mede. The supporters of Reman, which known as the Loyalists; manage to gain massive battle victories, and eventually captured the Imperial City at the the Battle of the Imperial City but Antonius disappeared and Reman was crowned Emperor by the Elder Council in 4E 129. As Emperor, Reman was most popular and rebuild the Imperial City.*[citation needed]* In 4E 147, Reman enforced a new succession law which makes the Empire, a designation absolute cognatic primogeniture system that caused either both a male and female can inherited the throne as well age requirements and regent laws. After Reman's death, Reman's son, Caius was succeeded as Emperor. During Caius's reign, he confronted the High Chancellor Lylirilamil with hours of heated debate between Lylirilamil and the Emperor. Both Lylirilamil and Caius Varian made agreement that the policy failed and allow the council to have a new policy, which opposite to his policy.*[citation needed]* When the Great War broke out, Caius and his brother Flavius, then King-Consort of Hammerfell want to war with the Third Aldmeri Dominion but in a losing effort with the Imperial City damaged and Talos was outlawed, and peace treaty signed with the Altmer. Caius and her wife, Brelyna were both killed during the Stormcloak ambush at the Battle of Grimpen Ward at The Pale, creating the Pale Crisis, and Caius's brother Flavius become Emperor.

Flavius resigned as King consort of Hammerfell, return to Cyrodiil and contuning at outgoing war in Skyrim with the rise of Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak and the Stormcloaks at the start of the Skyrim Civil War. After Flavius death, his successor and niece Marcella, succeeded to the throne. During her life, Marcella also known as the Purple Dragon and Peacemaker. As her time as Empress, Marcella Varian had popularized laws institutioned, and was a famed tactian. At the time of the War of the Red Dragon, a three-way conflict after she defeats Alduin, and eventually stoping the Rebellion by defeating Ulfric Stormcloak and the Third Dominion, making the Empire a new superpower in Tamriel. She become the first homosexual empress by marrying Jenassa, which later adopting a child named Brinella, future Empress Livia Varian.

After Marcella Varian's death, the first eight Varian Emperors ruled with relative peace and prosperity, but within 300 years, mismanagement and political infighting become the norm. Emperor Claudius Varian IV suffered an long-time illness and refused to in his duties of his illness. Claudius's sons had beef to fought over the throne, which Marlena Varian II took the throne. Marlena then was assassinated, some say that Claudius's son, called Claudius assassinated her, but with no proof. It would not be until the reign of Julianus Varian that the most popular Emperor since Marcella Varian; fought final war with the Summerset Isles but the Isles was defeated by the Empire, but was later accidentally killed while hunting with Claudius's son, Pelagius. The next generations of the Varians' rule restored the peace, prosperity, and most importantly, the stability of the Imperial line to Cyrodiil. By the time of Attrebus Varian and his daughter Kintyra II, the Empire was back almost to the height of its power during Kintyra IV's reign, and was most stable and loyal one. Kintyra IV than makes her final battle at near border in Skyrim which she was died of her wounds. Her son, Titus III becomes Emperor but at the time of his six-year reign, the rumors are that popular Orcish warlord by the name, Shamar gro-Rogdul planning to invade Cyrodiil. Shamar took the Imperial City and than stormed the palace and killed Titus III and usurped the throne. The Empire was left without an heir once more, and the Varian Dynasty had ended their over 850 long-year reign and becoming one of the popular, devoted and longest empire dynasty in Tamriel and Cyrodiil and surpassing the Septim dynasty.

After the death of the last Varian Emperor in 5E 725, Shamar usurped the Ruby Throne and took the titles of Emperor and then Potenate, and remained in power for eight years. During his rule of terror, which known as the Imperial Usurpation, he orders the Elder Council to disband and struggled to maintain peace in Cyrodiil, but months after, most popular Imperial General Crassius Avento, who fought with Emperor Titus III and his mother, Kintya's reigns respectful who persuaded the Elder Council for being himself to on the throne, which the council accepts and was crowned himself Emperor. Thus began the Avento Dynasty.

Crassius's son, Uriel, later Emperor Uriel Avento who was spoke with Ten Divine Goddess Marcella who was the late Empress Marcella Varian. The rumors that the return of Haidoneus and was helped by Marcella as armies of the Prince invaded Tamriel. It also that another sacking on the Imperial City by the UnDead Army of Lord Haidoneus, which leads to Uriel Avento's death by the UnDead King. Haidoneus was defeated once again by Marcella, last time was in 192th of the Fourth Era. Uriel's brother, Cavotan was installed by Marcella to the Ruby throne and was successful rebuilding Cyrodiil.

## Trivia

* When Rome (the Empire on which this Empire is based) turned into a *de facto* monarchy in the second half of the 1st century BCE, at first there was no name for the title of the new type of monarch. Ancient Romans abhorred the name Rex ("king"), and it was critical to the political order to maintain the forms and pretenses of republican rule.
* The Latin word *imperator* derives from the stem of the verb, meaning 'to order, to command'.
