Rehati
The Rehati is the Primogenitor's Small Council, headed by the right-hand figure of the empire, the Rehatiarch. The Small Council can be any size, but has almost always had nine members, usually members of the imperial family or deeply historic nobility or military leaders. The exact powers and authorities granted to the Rehati are in constant flux, and it is generally assumed that their authority supersedes whomever's it comes into conflict with unless stated otherwise by the Primogenitor.

The Dextrarch is designated as they are permitted to wear a crown, with the Imperial diadem removed.
