The Head of State of the Apollonian Republic of Shireroth's East - and before that Kildare - is the Caudillo, a title granted by the Seven Heroic Legions of the National Protection Army to Trajan Myksos. Just like in the old days of the Dutchy of Kildare, the head of state is still the supreme leader of the Apollonian Republic.

The Dutch (Taodosius I), surrounded by nobles (clothed as soldiers), magicians, the clergy and the historians.

During the days that Kildare was still a subdivision of Shireroth, it was ruled by the Dutch (or Duke) of Kildare. Since 5141 ASC this position became hereditary and a variety of titles came into existence: Ruler of the Eastern Empire or Dominator (by Flavius I). The House of Myksos ruled the Eastern Empire for approximately 400 years, after which Trajan Myksos (from the same dynasty) dissolved the monarchy and was placed in charge of the Republic.

As there are no succession laws, it's highly likely that the title will be passed based on tradition, which is granting it to the oldest child of the ruler (a habit which is in use since the establishment of the Myksos Dynasty in 5141 ASC).

The first ruler of Kildare - after it was united in 513 ASC by Kaiser Gaelen I - was Patrick Foley, who ruled from a palace in Apollo City. Later, with the loss of Audentior, the Dukes would rule from their residence in Blackrock Nua. It was not until Dutchess Ignatia I that the Dutchal Court moved back to the City (however, this would only become official during her successors reign).

Old Era

A lot of information about the Dutches was lost during the Old Era (period of the Lost Age and Dark Ages). It's still unknown how many Dutches there actually were or when ruled who. Dates and information gathered here are guesses done by the historians within Kildare, but shouldn't be considered canon.

Began after the ascension of Jonas (Ionas) as new Dutch. In this period, every Dutch got a number behind his name as with the Kaisers to avoid confusion.
