The Arch Chancellor of Regalia was a political office positioned at the head of the [[Regalian Empire]]’s government, thus being second only to the Emperor. The Arch Chancellor position was created after the [[Five Family Rebellion]], granted in near perpetuity to [[House Kade]]. House Kade has maintained control of this office for decades since then. Still, the office eventually faded away during the political upheavals of the 4th century, replaced by a less powerful Chancellery and other similar offices. Several political actions and offices were inspired or influenced by the Arch Chancellors of Regalia, and many of their policies are still in effect and relevant to modern-day politicians. | The Arch Chancellor of Regalia was a political office positioned at the head of the [[Regalian Empire]]’s government, thus being second only to the Emperor.

*Eotranna I was the only daughter of Caldomir and Annaleora Kade, the younger sister to Aldomir Kade, and the first female Arch Chancellor. She was a sharp wit and was noted as engaging in theological debate with many early members of the Unionist Celacy. She became a student to the [[Narim]] monarch, and the two were close friends. | *Eotranna I was the only daughter of Caldomir and Annaleora Kade, the younger sister to Aldomir Kade, and the first female Arch Chancellor.

*Eotranna proved a competent Arch Chancellor during her tenure, working to aid the Emperor in promoting Unionism across Regalian territory.

*Cedmir I & Alexander I were the twin sons of Arnold II and could not have been more different from each other and their father. Alexander I was also known as the Giant given his immense size at over seven feet tall, while Cedmir was short, nervous, and a good administrator but easily swayed by his brother, who was also his protector politically and physically. | *Cedmir I & Alexander I were the twin sons of Arnold II and could not have been more different from each other and their father.

*The | *The personal life of Alexander I is also notable as it was rumored at the time, and now accepted in the modern day, that the Giant and the Crown Prince, soon the Emperor, [[Allestrain I]], were lovers. Empress Eolaria Cadar and Alexander’s wife, Leona Kade, were also said to have been in a relationship, which too has been confirmed in the modern day. | ||
*Alexander I completely focused himself on Allestrain’s desire for warfare, and conquests led by the two men and their wives on the frontlines saw several regions and nations seized in the name of the Empire. Cedmir stayed behind in the capital and attempted to keep up with the logistics and bureaucracy of such constant conflict. | *Alexander I completely focused himself on Allestrain’s desire for warfare, and conquests led by the two men and their wives on the frontlines saw several regions and nations seized in the name of the Empire.

*After Allestrain’s shocking death at the hands of the Nordskaggers, Alexander grew unstable, full of rage and grief. Convinced by Alexander to ignore the 'trivial' bureaucratic matters of massive debt, Emperor [[Handorien II]] signed the edict that began the [[Purple Bleeding]]. Alexander carried out brutal campaigns, first at home to stem the chaos caused by this edict, then abroad, where he died in another war against the Nordskaggers. Fearing for his life, Cedmir I quickly resigned his position for his son, Morgan, though soon came to regret it. History has looked with mixed opinions on this joint Arch Chancellor reign, with those in the military praising it and those not being more critical of a range of events. | *After Allestrain’s shocking death at the hands of the Nordskaggers, Alexander grew unstable, full of rage and grief.
