There are several titles of the Themiclesian monarch (號). Some of these titles may be combined, but others are specific to given functions and not properly used with others. The titles of the Monarchy of Themiclesia are not regulated by written law but governed by traditional usage.
Emperor
The title Emperor (皇帝, hwang-tī or hwang-tai) was introduced to Themiclesia by Emperor Wŏn of Chŏllo, who fled to Themiclesia when ousted by Jin nomads in the 6th century. There, as a pretender, he was enthroned as a figurehead by a group of courtiers who disliked the existing ruler's behaviour.
