Elcmar IV (4 November 1704 - 15 August 1780) was the son of Elcmar, Duke of Palaegon. He became King of Trellin and Emperor of Hysera on the death of his second cousin, Lonaki III, in 1739, founding House Palægos. He married Ícanta Evdar, Duchess of Emla in 1730, but she died in childbirth two years later. His remarriage, to Queen Tarien of Velar in 1737, led to him inheriting the throne of the Kingdom of the Isles of Velar after her death; this in turn sparked the War of the Velaran Succession, which ravaged the lands around the Sea of Velar from 1769—1771. He held all three titles until his death in 1780 and was succeeded by the only daughter of his first marriage, Azara IV.

Elcmar was a powerful personality and wished to see the Isles of Velar brought fully under Trellinese rule and in line with imperial laws. He could not come to terms with the sanctity of traditional privileges in Velaran culture. In 1773, he attempted to reintroduce capital punishment to Velar, but vigorous protests from all sections, including riots in Txir and Qaina, persuaded him to drop the matter.
