The Aldarei (Aldareina in the case of a female monarch) is the title of the ruler of the Kingdom of the Asharalyn. Starting with Anarion I, the first Aldarei of the Kingdom of the Asharalyn, this title has passed down through his descendants. The Aldarei is anointed and crowned by the Karida of Ventrism, and has a divine mandate from the Gods themselves to rule. In such regard, the Aldarei is the head of the feudalistic structure which is present in the Kingdom of the Asharalyn and presides over its functioning.
