Cyriacan dynasty (425-1340)
Emperor Constantine IX.jpg c.403-470 Cyriacus I (Cyriacus the Elder) 425-470 Dux of the diocese of Amathia, magister militum per Amathias and Solarian patrician. Maintained control of the province despite the collapse of connections to the Solarian heartlands. He was hailed as Imperator by his soldiers before the Fall of Solaria, continuing the legacy of the western legions rebelling against central rule, but historical evidence is contradictory on how much the title was used. He might have used the title of "Rex Solariorum". He successfully maintained the independence of the new province, by a combination of warfare and diplomacy, and founded the Cyriacan dynasty, which led to his position as the formal founder of the Empire of Arciluco.
Constantine VIcouncil.png c. 450-488 Adeodatus I 470-488 First born son of Cyriacus I. Named co-emperor at an early age, he successfully defended Arciluco during the Siege of 472, leading preparations and beginning to build the first fortifications of the Aeodatian wall, a new limes in the west of the province. Attempted to prepare an invasion of modern day Novalia, but was instead force to focus on the west. He established relations with the Preidans and the Kaloi, creating them as foederati, and began to attack the Tengarian tribes to the west that were pressuring the western limes. His actions began the Arcilucan conquest of Tengaria, defeating hostile tribes and forcing the others into submission. He died in his sleep in 488, of presumed heart issues.
Solidus Avitus Arles (obverse).jpg c. 455-491 Vitalianus I 488-491 Younger brother of Aeodatus, he served as regent for his nephew, Clarus, but was acclaimed Emperor by his legions. He established the Diocese of Calia, and defeated the final large coalition of the Tengarian tribes in the Battle of the Len River, but was hit by a stray arrow and died a few weeks after.
Silbannacus-1 obvers.jpg c. 468-491 Diegius I 491-495 Illegitimate son of Aeodatus by a Preidan noblewoman and magister militum, he followed Vitalianus in the position of regent and was crowned co-emperor to secure his position in court. He successfully pacified the Tengarian tribes and began the development of a new western limes along the Len River, while continuing to pay tribute to the eastern Marolevs in order to avoid confrontation. He was assassinated a few months before the coming of age of his legitimate younger brother, presumably by court officials.

Despite his young age, he took an active role in the affairs of state, reorganising the military, and leading economic and legal reforms. He sought to reestablish relations with Solaria and the eastern provinces, but had to face almost two decades of constant warfare with the western Marolevs, finally defeating them into battle in 502. He died in 537, leaving behind a filled treasury and a peaceful realm.
