Rychert

Emperor Rychert is the ruler of Somath-Aful.

Emperor Rychert is known for his lenient tax policies, strange sense of humour and prowess in battle, for which he was once feared across the lands of Weab; many remember when his wrath meant the death of entire nations, and dread the sight of his banners approaching on the horizon. His lands are now orderly and peaceful for the most part, and he has become somewhat aloof as a ruler, leaving many of the day to day tasks of governance to a corps of administrators chosen from his ablest citizens. These men and women are granted the right to enforce the laws of the land and issue edicts in the name of Rychert himself; none in the empire would dare defy such a command, but the emperor watches these administrators carefully for any signs of corruption or incompetence, swiftly removing those who abuse their powers or fail to perform their duties. Though the empire appears at times to run itself, Rychert's subjects know that in the end, nothing escapes his notice.
