	Each Throne may choose their own forms of address. Traditionally, The Throne is addressed as "''their Imperial majesty''" but some Thrones have chosen a different honorific. [[Emperor James]] for example preferred to be addressed as "''your honour''" while [[Empress Richilde]] favoured the [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] "''m'lady Empress''". Most recently, Empress Lisabetta chose "Imperatrix" as her official title. While few people in the Empire put much store by personal titles, most citizens take a very different approach with The Throne. The Throne is chosen by the Senate, who hold their titles on behalf of the people of the Empire. As such it is suggested that The Throne stands as a symbolic representation of the Empire itself - and a failure to accord them due respect ultimately shows that the citizen does not respect their own Empire. At the very least, this can be seen as an abject failure of [[Pride]].		Each Throne may choose their own forms of address.

	There is to be a new [[the Throne\|Empress]]! The greater majority of the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] has voted to raise '''Vesna Borkovna Prochnost''' to the Throne.
