To take a Gloranthan example, I think the empire of Golden Mokato, which was a contemporary of the EWF, didn't have an emperor either. I have tentatively labelled the highest functionary Grand Steward. I think he or she was regarded as a proxy for Govmeranen, the perfect mystic ruler and the last lord of all of Vithela.
