The Lords of Discipline

David Millians

The Archexarchs are the leading officials of the imperial government and act as overseers of vast aspects of society. Most live outside the mortal world as part of their work. Their vast palaces in the capital are as much temples as homes.

While in some capacities Archexarchs act as conduits of worship and links with the emperor and the gods, they also receive worship in their own right from millions of people, mostly seeking their intervention in the humblest of concerns. The archexarchs of Kralorela can receive sacrifices. All of them have essence, spirit, and daimon servants, who assist them in their work. These are in addition to the countless mortals that serve them in life and after. They are known to be hard to reach, so most people approach them through communal ceremonies and usually only their servants.
