Emperor Muk (Shinasthana: 穆皇帝, muk-gwang-têgh; Dec. 10, 1825 – May 24, 1857) was Emperor of Themiclesia from 1849 to his death in 1857, succeeding his grandfather Emperor Ng'jarh and succeeded by his uncle, Emperor Tjang. Muk's father, Prince Pran, died four months before his father, Emperor Ng'jarh, leaving the young and inexperienced Muk to take the throne; while the throne passed to him per agnate succession, he was politically dominated by Ng'jarh's courtiers. Famously inconstant in his intentions, most politicians found it more convenient to compromise with each other and present him with a unified opinion; his political ineptitude severely weakened the throne after a brief, seven-year reign. Though expected to father a legitimate heir, he died childless, and the throne passed unexpectedly, again, to his uncle Emperor Tjang.
