The Holy Orenian Emperor (High Imperial: Orenorum Imperator, literally: "Emperor of the Humans") is the ruler of the Holy Orenian Empire. The title has been faded in and out of existence, generally moving between that of a hereditary autocracy and that of an elected monarch, depending on the particular incarnation of the Empire it applies to. The noble house that has held the title has also changed back and forth considerably over the last two centuries. The first Holy Orenian Emperor and creator of the First Empire was Exalted Godfrey, also known as Godfrey I, of the House of Horen.
The title is held in conjunction with the rule of the Kingdom of Oren, the Kingdom of Renatus and the Kingdom of Salvus. Typically, the Holy Orenian Emperor is the most powerful man in the known world, possessing of a vast network of lands, armies, coin, and other resources, ruling over the most powerful of the world's states and its singular superpower. In practice however, a Holy Orenian Emperor is only as strong as his army and alliances made him. When an emperor was unable to serve due to incapacity, youth or absence, he would appoint a trusted regent to rule in his stead with a similar level of power and authority. If this regent was also a prince, he would be entitled with the position of Prince Regent.
The consort of the Holy Orenian Emperor is known as the Empress-consort.
The title has belonged to members of House Horen, Carrion, Chivay, Marna, Cascadia, Sarkozic, Alstion and Joannes.
