The rulership of the Empire of the Araeledhel has changed city and King since the reunification at the end of the Dark age, the current holder of Imperial King is Ithinial Argunal, King of Niquëaicalë in the West Valan mountains. While some of his predecessors made it their mission to try and unify and bully the independent Kingdoms into joining the Empire through political and financial meanns, Ithinial is more concerned with keeping the Darkness at bay and keeping hold of the Elven seat on the Council of the Light.
