Septim Dynasty

The Septim Dynasty is the the ruling imperial family of the Third Empire. It was founded by Tiber Septim, who ascended to godhood as Talos.

Emperors and Empresses of the Septim Dynasty
All emperors and empresses of the Third Empire, with the exception of Katariah, assumed the dynastic name Septim. Only Pelagius I was a direct descendant of the divine Tiber Septim; subsequent monarchs descended from his brother Agnorith. On more than one occasion the succession of empresses regnant interrupted patrilineal descent from Agnorth, though the Septim name continued to be used. These occasions allowed historians, particularly in the Fourth Era, to divide the Septim dynasty into distinctive phases: the Kintyran, the Katarian, Cephoric and Eloisan.
