| - Ancient Osirion was ruled by a succession of pharoahs who were revered as gods by the population. Eventually the rule of divine kings faltered, and Osirion descended into an age of barbarism. On at least one occasion, there was more than one God-King. For example, there were once four joint rulers known as the Pharaohs of Ascension.
- God-Kings (also known as Divine Emperors) are the rulers of vast empires, often ones that go down in history as the most advanced (or more brutal) empires that have existed. Examples of God-Kings include the First King of Aût (assumed, not confirmed), Balor Ebonthal, and The Scourge of Aût. God-Kings often delve deep into the arcane and in swordplay, quickly becoming terrifying opponents that are almost impossible to slay in one-on-one combat. Therefore, unlike most warlords, God-Kings tend to die peacefully, of illness or old age.

| - God-Kings (also known as Divine Emperors) are the rulers of vast empires, often ones that go down in history as the most advanced (or more brutal) empires that have existed. Examples of God-Kings include the First King of Aût (assumed, not confirmed), Balor Ebonthal, and The Scourge of Aût. God-Kings are formed when a God takes an interest in one members of the Mortal Races, and decides that, since the being has already been born and therefore, cannot be granted immortality, they shall imbue the being with an incredible gift for battle, being able to pick up on the use of almost any weapon, and a gift for magic that is masterful. God-Kings often delve deep into the arcane and in swordplay, quickly becoming terrifying opponents that are almost impossible to slay in one-on-one combat. Therefore, unlike most warlords, God-Kings tend to die peacefully, of illness or old age. God-Kings are often the subject of many a great tale, and many of them go down in history as legends, with meadhalls reveling in the tales of Wold, and many Kings can trace their lineage back to the a God-King, though this connection is not always legitimate.

On at least one occasion, there was more than one God-King. For example, there were once four joint rulers known as the Pharaohs of Ascension. One theory states that Ulunat, an early spawn of Rovagug, was defeated by a group of powerful people who each had the status of god-king, and that they then claimed the beast's territory as their domain, thereby setting the original boundaries of Ancient Osirion. The existence of a powerful group of heroes would explain how Ulunat was defeated, but goes against the accepted view that Osirion was established by a prophet of Nethys called Azghaad
