Terminology

E

 * Ēkavarka - The monarch of Heiyān is called the Ēkavarka, who is always the eldest child. They are a ruler with a power passed down to them from the previous monarchs with the ability to completely control their subjects with or without their will.

The title 'colourless' comes from the fact that this power can be used either for good or for evil and her title will change form thus into a 'white' or a 'black monarch.'

S

 * Sēvaka - This Clan is the most powerful clan in Heiyān, directly below that of the imperial family and have worked as the right-hand men to the Ēkavarka over the many centuries since the founding of the empire.
