History
The first Emperors/Empresses of Venka existed as both the head of state and religion. In the early days of the empires there was no Emperor or Empress, it wasn't even an empire truly, more a collection of villages trying to find a way to recover and develop after the War of the Old Gods plagued Oxdara, though the Tal's war was mainly focused around Rularia, the repercussions were felt in Venka. Over many thousand years, smaller kingdoms and governing states sprouted up over Venka, but they fell almost as soon as they were established, it was only when the three Empires were established did Venka know so stability. The three Empires were sectioned into the Dritha, who occupied the southern region of western Venka, the Ruizar who occupied the region of eastern Venka, and the Polentien who occupied the northern region of western Venka.
The Empires came together each of their own accord, and relatively around the same time. Each a collection of cities and villages that survived through the rise and fall of the smaller kingdoms and states, seeking to establish a truly stable existence of governing. The leaders and elders of the cities and villages came together in their respective regions to elect a leader of both their religion and the state, to lead their new empires.
Thus the profession of Emperor and Empress was born in Venka. Originally they were a rank of nobility elected by the people, or the peoples representative, upon the death of an Emperor or Empress, a new one was elected. Over time however, in order to create more stability in the empires, the title was passed down hereditarily, being passed down to the first born child of the family.
The Emperor/Empress was once the representative for the religious pantheons of the regions, being chosen and devoted to one of the Gods of their pantheon or the whole pantheon itself. However, this was an honoured that the Drithan Empire would seperate, wanting the religous section of their Empire to be an elected position, so shortly after the establishment of the hereditary linage, church and state was separated in Dritha. Two generations after the Dritha Empire, Ruizar followed, with the Polentien following a generation after that.
