Ranks and Titles

To secure the stability of the Empire, there are several ranks and titles. This here is a list of the governmental ranks, the titles of nobility and military roles.

## Government

### The Emperor

The Emperor has total authority over the Holy Empire. He is the main administrator, the ruler with absolute power. The current Emperor is Siegfried, the founder of the Empire and the creator of the imperial ideology, the Light of Salvation. No one can take the Emperor's power. The Emperor is the only one who is allowed to change the imperial constitution, laws and to take the most important decisions. If the Emperor would die or retire, the High Lord would take the power and no new Emperor can rise to power. After the Emperor's retirement or death, the constitution is unchangeable and the Empire will stay passive and defensive, not being able to wage aggression anymore.

### The Empress

The Empress is the Emperor's girlfriend. Her authority is at the same level as the Emperor's and she also can act as the supreme battle commander, but she is not able to change the constitution of the Empire. In the Emperor's absence, she will administrate the Empire and her orders have the same weight as the Emperor's will. She also has the right to declare wars or to do peace treaties. Anyone insulting her, will be labeled a traitor/heretic and his name be condemned.

### The High Councile

They are the commanders and leaders of the Empire if the Emperor is absent for a longer time. In the Emperor's absence, the High Councile has the highest authority. But they cannot declare war, write peace treaties, seize the power or change the constitution. Only the most loyal members to the Empire deserves that rank. Any disrespecting against them will also be seen as heresy.

### The Primarch

Very loyal members of the Empire who rules above a imperial organization/Order. A Primarch has almost supreme authority over his organization, he only has to obey to a majority of the High Councile and to the Emperor and the Empress. The Primarch serves as the Emperor's executors.
