List of Monarchs of Leharta

The Empire of Leharta had been, for centuries, ruled by a very long line of monarchs. Leharta, for all its animosity towards the world, still remains strong and one of the greatest powers on the entire continent of Distora. Founded in 180 BC and still going strong, the monarchy of Leharta remains the longest continuous monarchy in the entire world.

House of Jehosaphat
Though there are disagreements on when, exactly, the nation of Leharts truly starts, many count the founding of Jehosaphat to be the starting point for the empire itself.

Jehosaphat itself was founded by a man known today as "Lord Oort," also known as Oort I, the king of a supposed group of mountain peoples who were the ancestors of the Lehartans.

House of Pluto
Electra I, elderly at the time of her coronation and her rather plentiful rule, passes without an heir. Jehosaphat is inherited by her brother, King of Midpass. The Kingdoms are united into Leharta. Oort V unfortunately met his end at the hands of the army of a disgruntled nobleman who would go on to change the course of history.

House of Eridanus
The brief civil war that began with the death of Oort V nonetheless caused a three-year-gap between kings of Leharta. In that time, Kiuper pacified the loyalist forces of Leharta (often by simply winning them to his side bloodlessly) and returned to Jehosaphat in order to be crowned King of Leharta.

Notably about the House of Eridanus, it has become something of a tradition to name the next monarch in line after Sloan Eridanus, Son of Kiuper Eridanus, and peacemaker of the War of the East. Eventually, "Sloan" would become a precedent - for instance, a king being named "Sirius Sloan Eridanus."
