The Shah of Barmenia (Brmek: ﺑﺮميك شا Brmék Shá) is the name of the monarch of Barmenia. The title of Shah was first used for the Barmenian monarch in the 2600s, as previous rulers of Barmenia had the official title of Caliph or Sultan, although they were often unofficially referred to as Shahs. The female equivalent of a Shah is a Shahbanu (Brmek: شابان Shábánu). The title is of Aldegarian origin, a legacy of the origin of Jelbic peoples on the continent of Seleya.
