For a List of all Monarchs of Oren, see: List of Orenian Monarchs
The Holy Orenian Emperor (High Imperial: Imperator Orenorum, literally: "Emperor of the Humans") was 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 was held in conjunction with the rule of the Kingdom of Oren (as King of Oren), the Kingdom of Renatus and the Kingdom of Salvus. Typically, the Holy Orenian Emperor was the most powerful man in the known world, possessing 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 was 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, Joannes, Helane and Novellen.

House of Joannes (1725 - 1731)
Selected as compromise candidates for the throne by High Pontiff, Daniel VI, the House of Joannes were ostensibly an off-shoot of the Houses of Alstion and Marna. However, after the death of their only monarch, the family were alleged to be bastards of Cesarina Louise and Laertes de Falstaff. However, the opposing argument contends that these claims by Laertes de Falstaff were likely encouraged by the new Lord Protector, Adrian de Sarkozy, as a way of asserting his nascent government's legitimacy.

Emperor-Pretender Peter IV; Disputed (1868 - 1868)
Following the sudden deaths of Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasia I, their youngest son Frederick Novellen declared the dissolution of the Holy Orenian Empire, on grounds that it was the final will of his parents, and reformed it into the Kingdom of Oren and the independent Grandmarch of Westfall. Peter Novellen, the eldest son of the deceased Imperial rulers, rejected his younger brother's dissolution of the Empire and was proclaimed Emperor Peter IV by his followers. From there, he would go on to fight a four-month civil war to establish himself as Emperor in the Brothers' War, but would be ultimately killed when his followers attempted to storm New Providence during the Battle for New Providence.
