List of the Rulers of Medibgö
Medibgö was thought unamenable to unification by the ancient Ithatians who saw its many skynesses as too reclusive to acknowledge a central authority. The fifth and sixth centuries however saw the general amalgamation of regional powers throughout the Pallathantic Region and Medibgösk skynesses with their orderly and predictable orbits eventually fell under the spell of a series of powerful sorcerer lords who sought to concentrate all power in their own person. Threwggerch' umba Kemiag also known as Threwggercha I through battle, diplomacy, and even personal combat brought the lords of the great skynesses to acknowledge him as suzerain, the first Sorcerer-King of Medibgö.

Smalffalgö Dynasy
The Smalffalgö Dynasty established the first emperor partly to stem the influence of chaos and to create a strong and lasting dynasty. The dynasty was long-lived (about 266 years), but is known more for its colorful rulers and eventual succumbing to the powers of Chaos, opening the way for the Middle Ages of Chaos in Medibgö.

Middle Ages of Chaos
The so-called Inter-Imperial Period of Medibgö corresponds largely with the Middle Ages of Chaos. During this time there was neither sovereign nor suzerain ruler. Foreign rulers sometimes addressed Ddägduch as 'Suzerain' but he never assumed the title himself. The Inter-Imperial Period began with the fall of the Smalffalgö Dynasty in the twenty first century when Isladborn III was revealed to have been an Aio imposter. He called champions to defend his besmirched honor and other powerful houses in turn called champions to restore the dignity of House Smalffalgö. This began the War of the Champions of Smalffalgö, 2079 to 2085. The war persisted for a few years after the death of the Aio imposter. The war was officially concluded when the high priest of Am declared the Aio Imposter dead and House Smalffalgö avenged. Dynastic struggles however continued well into the next century with no house rising to the status of imperial rulership. The practice of chaos magic was widespread and brought about the downfall of some houses and the ascendancy of others. This list gives some of the more powerful houses who wielded considerable influence over the skynesses of Medibgö.

Coronation
The practice of two coronations came into effect during the Smalffalgö Dynasy. The first coronation was as soon as possible to validate the office of the new ruler. The second was held on Winter Solstice to satisfy religious scruples. In some cases, only the latter was performed when the time of ascension to the throne was so close to winter solstice.
Coronation Pose
Medibgóëse Coronation Ceremony The coronation pose was developed over several centuries, especially before the Middle Ages of Chaos. The ancient traditional pose was of the ruler-to-be seated on the Ffarfaddagh Throne. His left elbow is bent, his left arm, upper and lower are extended straight forward, with the forearm facing back to the left shoulder, the back of the left hand facing roughly foreward, the tip of the left thumb touching the tip of the middle finger, the index finger pointing upward, somewhat bent. The right arm is extended forward, the palm down, the back hand forward and lower than the left arm, the fingers of the right hand slightly spread out. The magical manifestation of a sun disk appears below the palm in a flat position and another sun disk, upright, faces forwards.
