| The Emperor-Potentate is the ruler of the Nagai Empire. His power is, at least in theory, absolute, and, in reality, still very impressive. He rules over the territories of the Nagai, and commands considerable respect as at least a symbolic leader of Nagas who live abroad and under different national allegiances. It is typical that the Emperor-Potentate will be one of the larger types of Nagai, and, due in part to his access to greater medical facilities and sustenance than the average Naga, he tends to have a considerable lifespan compared to others, and reach just as impressive of physical size (as Nagai keep growing as they age). It is considered a great honor to be crawled over by the Emperor-Potentate himself ... though being too "greatly honored" can at times be fatal. Traditionally, the Emperor-Potentate is known by title, not name. Combined with the extended lifespan of the typical Nagai Emperor, many tend to think of him as an immortal, much like was supposed of the Sabaoth of Babel. Purportedly, the Emperor-Potentate was slain by a Kavi assassin on Landing Day 6, 6103 RTR, resulting in the fragmentation of the once mighty Nagai Empire. However, with the reported return of the Emperor-Potentate on 31 Ring, 6104 RTR, displacing the temporary "Emperor" who took his place over the smaller state of Nagai, rumors of the Emperor-Potentate's immortality have begun anew, perhaps even encouraged by the ruler himself.
