King of Westmarch

The King of Westmarch was a hereditary position held by numerous individuals. The garb of the monarch has grown more ornate with each generation.

Rakkis Dynasty
Westmarch was founded by Rakkis, who became the country's first king. He was succeeded by his son, Korsikk, who in turn was succeeded by his son, Korelan. However, Korelan died without an heir, ending Rakkis's line.

Justinian Dynasty
Through "a somewhat convoluted interpretation of Zakarum scripture," the crown passed to Justinian I. Thus began the Justinian dynasty. Seen as usurpers by many, the Justinians suffered nearly constant challenges to their rule. The following monarchs are known of this dynasty (in order of succession):


 * Justinian I
 * Justinian II
 * Justinian III
 * Cornelius (married to Queen Nellia)
 * Justinian IV

Justinian IV is the last known King of Westmarch. He was killed by Lord Wynton (a descendant of Korelan) during the Reapers' siege of Westmarch, who in turn was slain by the Nephalem.

Trivia

 * The name/title of "Justinian" is possibly derived from the Byzantine Empire, which was ruled by Justinian I (a.k.a. "Justinian the Great") & Justinian II.
