List of Yophenthean Rulers of Erechóreb
The rule of the Arathracian priest-kings of Yophenthea was as extensive as the breadth of their dominions. The monarchy underwent repeated transformations from a single to a dual monarchy and back again over the centuries of the Yophenthean Empire.

After the reign of Erriorth follows a nearly thirteen year conflict, 383 to 396, over succession.
Calantuvil Dynasty
After the twelve year struggle for succession, the functions of the priest-king were divided into high priest and king. The Calantuvil branch descended from Erigándor assumed the mantle of kingship, while the role of high priest remained the function of the eldest successor of Erithraigean. The powers were thus shared and separate. As the fledgling kingdom encountered and conflicted with foreign princes and powers, the two rulers became obliged to operate with equanimity and present a united face to the world if they were to fulfill the charge of their Lord, Arathrax, to unify the dominion of earth under the unified dominion of the sun. The Calántuvil Dynasty's reign is still considered very much a golden era of the early Yophenthean Empire. All High Priests and Kings were cousins and could trace their lineage with little effort to the god Arathrax and Saint Aireánnau Mother of the Folk.

Subject Monarchy
The last of the Calantuvils died without clear successor and the Senate (Senator = Aichedh) assumed control for nearly three years, 476 to 479. During the Senatorial Interregnum, great care was taken to avoid the earlier twelve year conflict which sometime came to open blows between the heirs of Arathrax. The High Sun Priest would be only one dynasty, but if there were only daughters, the eldest daughter could marry a son of the monarch. The High Sun Priest was very strictly required to be the oldest available heir of Arathrax and Aireánnau, thus preserving the spirit of the monarchical priest while enabling the military monarchy to have potentially any lineal son of Arathrax through Aireánnau as heir. This system lasted for about seventy four years, 479 to 553. In principle, the monarch was subject to the High Sun Priest who could determine the successor to the military kingship by decree. This precedent was sometimes invoked in later centuries even beyond the Third Sack of Yophénthë in lands that had formerly been under the rule of the empire as Arathracian high priests and sunfathers insisted their decree could resolve succession to the local monarch.
