Khrönan äro heligh
"Khrönan äro heligh" is the official motto of the absolute royal federation and can be translated into "The crown is divine". The phrase have been used by Imerian high kings since the days of Emanuel the first and was used to remind the Imerian nobility that the rule of the high king was divine in nature and that obedience was required.
The origin of the phrase however comes from the ages before even the unification of Imeriata and was used describing the concept of the first Imerian high king, Imer the great.
As he had gotten control of the south land from an alliance with the gods so had the title of high king been a very symbolic office in the holy chronicles. As such did most people see the high king as a holy person in itself. While the image of this changed when the office was brought back a millennia after the first and last high king had died and the office was transformed into a more secular institution even if the religious connections remained strong well into the modern era.
