Emperor's Names

Once an Emperor has been elevated to the throne, it is the custom from the depths of time for the new ruler to choose an ascension name. The common practice is for the name to be one of the prior Emperors. The exact mechanism of this decision is not commonly known, but the various names are widely acknowledged to be an indicator of the general temperament of the new Imperial Personage. Some Names are well known as builders, or as patrons of learning, etc. The current Emperor has taken the name Chronun, and is only the fourth to bear that Name. It has been a very long time since this dynasty was extant, and little is known of it except that it is rumored to be a very aggressive and militaristic line, with the last Chronun being an iron willed tyrant in the Age of the Warrior Kings, some fifteen thousand years ago. This throne name fits well with the current Emperor. The usual turn of events is that the Emperor either assumes the traits of the name or runs counter to it.
