Caliedhe Dosiere is the Chamberlain of the City of Anuire. While he has never claimed the title Emperor, he is the pseudo-head of the remnants of the Anuirean Empire. Most of the Anuirean nobility realise that they could never revive the empire without the Chamberlain's backing. Until 555 MR, no claims to the Iron Throne had won his approval. This hard line softened when the young and personable Duke of Diemed was the first of the Anuirean nobles to renounce his family's claim to the Iron Throne and in a public gesture, swore an oath of fealty to the throne and whomever Dosiere chose to accept.
This one action had a profound impact on Dosiere. The young Duke, who had been wed to Prince Darien of Avanil's youngest daughter, Shannon, was a man of principles and even though he was married into the Avan family, was his own man...not a creature of the Prince. Over the years, Dosiere noticed a change in Prince Darien, especially when the prince's eldest daughter had conspired with the awnshegh Rhoubhe Manslayer; the prince's conduct and baring after wards showed that Darien was capable of being a good and just ruler, and just did not try to bend the law for his own ends. So, after 555 years of sitting empty, Dosiere chose Darien Avan as the new Emperor.
Outraged, Aeric Boeruine left the Imperial City during Darien's coronation before anyone attempted to arrest him or force him to swear fealty. Eventually, Boeruine chose to rejoin the empire, as a peace offering, Darien elevated him to the rank of an Imperial Prince and gave him the position of Imperial Justicar, an office that Boeruine has taken on with zeal.
Other Notes: Dosiere is said to be a distant cousin to Helaene Dosiere, the Chancellor of Dhoesone.
