	Historically, the foremost Rhumish Prince, the descendants first of Aeor (such as Theuderik), and now the descendants of Theuderik, are referred to as the "Serene Prince" (Rhumish: <i>Serenzfaerst</i>) due to the state faith - the [[Holy Flock of Agdarr]] - regarding the Rhumish Prince of Aeor and Theuderik's line as the sole ruler holding a divine right. Historically, in the ancient Rhumish homeland, the Serene Princes took a greater title above all other Princes, that of Keistarr - derived from the ancient familial surname of the var Maereltsyns: Cestar. This title is loosely akin to an Imperial title (Emperor), and descends from ancient Pyrrianorian conceptions of Imperium and Translatio Imperii.

	The city of Aarenau itself has simple reasons for its name. In the Rhumish language, "Aare" is the word for a single bird, with the word "Adelaare" being the word for eagle - or "noble bird". The city's origins lie in a double-headed eagle landing on a rock, which was taken as a divine augury and provided the basis for the name of the lake upon which the city was built, <b>Lake Aare</b>, the Lake of the Bird. The second part of the name -au, is a common Rhumish place name suffix, typically meaning "town" or "settlement on". And so the name Aarenau quite ~~literaly~~ translates as "Town/Settlement on the Lake of the Bird".		The city of Aarenau itself has simple reasons for its name.
