The Exalted Kings of the Twelve Worldly Towers, better known as the Exalted, were the second highest caste in the ancient Al-Antdian Empire, composed only of twelve members. It was effectively a priestly caste, all of its members being the high priests of the Sacred Twelve. The only way for someone to reach the status of Exalted, would have to be by having the Divine Sovereign appoint them personally.
