I don’t know if this has been asked before, but why is the leader of the empire called “The Crown”, instead of like king/queen/monarch or emperor/empress/monarch?
Simply put, it's because I wanted a gender-neutral title that had a little more flair than "ruler/monarch/sovereign". Those terms are fine, but they struck me as more descriptive, and I wanted something that was equivalent to king/queen in style and sound.
Crown [insert name] also just sounds better than Monarch [insert name] imo, so that's how I chose it! No real lore-related reason for it haha.
