The King acts as the ruling and sovereign monarch of Alenthyl. In addition to this, the King is also the acting Emperor of the Empire of Alenthyl. Like other nobles in Alenthyl, the King and his family adopt namesakes from past heroes. An example is King Avan Capewell II, who took after the famous namesake of King Avangtamos Capewell I. It should be noted that the title Queen may be a substitute should the ruler be a female, though this is less common in the nation’s history.
