Emperor of Sunar

Appointment

The emperor is generally uplifted by his wife, who after undergoing the ceremony of alemana, is in essence the vessel of Sune on earth. This coronation, is usually included in the alemana ceremony, occurring after the uplifting, and is preformed on the steps of the current imperial residence, or at the Great Temple of Sune.

Duties

The Sunarian emperor is tasked with leadership over both the empire and the religion of Sunemrah. It is this his duty to provide unto the people good rulership, prosperity and order. Failure to do these three things has on more than one occasion seen an emperor removed from power by his government, military or the people, in favor of a new, better one.

Cultural Significance

The Sunarian emperor has traditionally been seen as one of the most powerful individuals in the world. Ruling as the head of all aspects of the Sunarian state, the emperor commands the united might of religion, bureaucracy and military to enforce absolute rule throughout the lands under his authority.
