| - A term denoting certain parish priests.
- The word rector ("ruler," from the Latin regere and rector meaning "teacher" in Latin) has a number of different meanings; they indicate an academic, religious or political administrator. The word is related to rectrix ("helmsman"), one of a bird's tail feathers. The term and office of a rector are called a rectorate. "Rector" is also a surname in English-speaking countries and in some other languages.
- A Rector is an out-sized, disembodied skull conjured through necromancy. It would appear as though the black arts were employed to reanimate an ordinary human skull, granting it unnaturally large dimensions and slowing the decomposition of the soft tissue contained within. The rector hovers over the ground and can move quickly. Two flaming spheres in its eye sockets allow it to perceive living creatures, which the rector can then harrass with a powerful ranged magical attack.
- A rector, in the educational world, is a title bestowed to the highest academic official of a college (in the Lyran sense, i.e. an undergraduate-only higher learning establishment) or a university, leading the day-to-day operations of such schools. Often a rector was a professor with years of teaching and administrative experience. Several universities had different titles for a position with similar functions: Oxford University had a vice-chancellor at its administrative head, Rutgers University was headed by a president, and University of California, Berkeley was headed by a chancellor.
