With such power comes great responsibility, and the Emperor takes on the role of divine providence. He does not shirk his sacred duty, which consists of protecting his people and ensuring a solid foundation for the future.

The scepter in his right hand is his symbol of authority. He who holds the scepter is recognized as a legitimate leader and worthy of respect. The Emperor stands at the head of his empire with strength and determination, symbolized by the ram's heads on his helmet.
