1658: Ambrethena, the Glorious
Widely regarded as the most cultured and elegant Emperor ever to reign in Valadia, Ambrethena created many of the social and cultural codes that made Valadia more than the barbaric, ruthless state that it was before his reign. Valadian culture and artistry made great strides under his reign, and to this day, many Valadian customs and cultural rules derive directly from the efforts Ambrethena undertook to civilize the Empire.

1781: Basre, the Unfortunate
A kinder and gentler soul than most Valadians, Basre attempted to change Valadia's aggressive and imperialistic tendencies. Basre would eventually be overthrown by his brother, Justian.

Posted Image
1790: Justian, the Wise
Justian is most noteworthy for creating the long-term Valadian strategy of conquest, by which the Empire plans over decades and even centuries, and avoids overstretching itself by trying to conquer too much too quickly.

1846: Idmachta
1865: Aesubugel
1902: Johneiss
1904: Rothian
1909: Donath

1912: Sebrandrin, the Bloody
Perhaps the most ruthless leader in Valadian history, Sebrandrin pioneered the use of modern tactics and weapons of war, greatly advancing Valadia's military. His notable tendency to use those tactics and weapons against his own people, crushing even the hint of dissent, would eventually cause his own death at the hands of an assassin.

1946: Domuriel
Most notable for achieving the final conquest of the Western Circle, Valadia's primary opponent for control of northern Ceolaan.

1977: Ascellias
Originally began his reign in the classic Valadian mold, conquering neighboring states and pushing the boundaries between Valadia and its neighbors. Abruptly changed course and tried to reform the Empire, similar to his ancient predecessor Basre, after seeing a vision. Died unexpectedly soon afterwards; rumors persist to this day that his son, Andellaias, brought about his death.

2007: Andellaias, the Incompetent
Last of the Emperors of Justian's line, Andellaias would best be known for allowing his Lord Marshal, Ithloriann, to convince him to launch the disastrous war against Santosa that would ultimately bring the Imperial Order down.

2013: Seonoreth, the Usurper
Amrain Seonoreth, a genia under Andellaias, would become as infamous as Arreyne the Betrayer, after he assassinated Andellaias in the midst of the Santosan War and attempted to take the Empire for himself. His effort would accelerate the fall of the Order.

2013: Galin, the Liberator
The last living descendent of the line of Basre, Galin of Haldorix would become Emperor after the fall of Seonoreth. His reforms, which granted non-Valadians the same rights as Valadians and banned the Imperial Order, would earn him the title of Liberator.
