The Conclave of Canthar

[Darth Carnifex]

​

The Conclave of Canthar​

​

While the Emperor ruled with power unchallenged and might unopposed, the intricacies of coordinating five different cultures, customs, and local laws fell upon the shoulders of the Conclave of Canthar. Named after the capital of the Panathan Empire, the council was comprised of generals, admirals, bureaucrats, and oligarchs hailing from each individual system within the Empire's borders. They were led by a group of six High Lords (the Hexarchy) who individual represented the five systems and the religious institution that spiritually bound them all to the will of the Emperor who also served as the God-King of the Epicanthix.

They were, in no particular order of importance:

• The Grand Vizier of Panatha
• The Consul of Bunduki
• The Warchief of Fornow
• The Potentate of Ravaath
• The Mesazon of Sorimow
• The Ecclesiastical Patriarch/Matriarch

They individual ruled over their respective worlds in the Emperor's stead, yet ultimately swore eternal fealty to him. It was he, and he alone, who held the executive power to circumvent their authority and supplant it with his own. Otherwise they shouldered the responsibility of managing his demesne, and could be replaced should they fall short or shirk their appointed duties.
