Ethereal Empire (? - 195 AUC)
''The Etherial Empire is a time of myth and legend. The Emperors in this period are supposed to be descended directly from the Deities. Magius himself is considered a God, and according to scripture, did not die, but ascend to heaven upon the passing of his earthly body. Later emperors would be deities or half-gods depending on their legacy and always inferior to Magius Aeternus.''

During this period rulers would have complete control of the state.

The name Magius is commonly used as a title meaning highest ruler.

Seven emperors from the Magian Dynasty were incorporated in the Pantheon.

Dominate (195 - 452 AUC)
The dominate starts with Titanius III who was adopted by Levitatus the second, he was the first emperor without a direct bloodline to Magius Aeternus. Generally titles would be inherited by bloodlines during the dominate but there are also some cases of adoption in this period. During the dominate rulers wielded dictatorial powers and were not subjugated to any council powers.

The period is initially marked for great conquests and stability. After the reign of Aelius Pius decline gradually sets in and the system is set to collapse after a sequence of poor rulers.

Electivate (452 - AUC)
During the last years of the dominate the power of emperors gradually decreased and a new power, named the high council, came into being. The high council brought together the powers of religion (Concilium Hierophanticum), earthly rulers (Concilium Principis) and magic (Concilium Magicum), each holding a 1/3 share and would jointly decide upon who was to be fit to rule the realm. The council would generally choose older emperors-elect (Imperator Electus) to avoid centralization of power.
