Emperor of Man

The title of the highest ranked monarch within The Empire of Man. This title would be used in the time of Sieghardt- God Emperor, but it would be dismantled by Klaus the Savior in favor of the title of Emperor-Elect shortly after he changed the empire from a hereditary monarchy to a elective monarchy. The title of Emperor of Man is now purely a ceremonious one and serves as one of the many titles of the Emperor of the empire.

The title of Emperor of man is the unofficial title of the emperor, and it is used by all but the emperor himself, he may also be referred to as emperor. All emperors of the empire are the emperor of man.

The emperor is elected by the Imperial Princes and other electors.
