History
The monarchy can trace its beginnings back to the ascension of Asculf Vetok as the founding dynast of the house of Vetok reigning over the Kingdom of Ilunsheim. Following on from this, various heirs adopted the family surname as their regnal title, or alternatively by their given name. Out of the fifty or so who have held the crown since the founding of the nation, forty-three (86%) have been blood-members of the imperial house, with a further six being chosen from the head of the Congregation of Broken Chains and the most recent elected from a member of the aristocracy.
