 ;D This.

Edit: Seriously though, it is Megawope, which means 'Mountain of Sharks' in some ancient language.

Atalea
you have come to preside over Atalea. what is your title?
how do you justify your rule? were you elected by the people, or an aristocratic elite? do you deserve it for your battle might? did you buy it with your vast amounts of riches? were you invested by the gods themselves? are you yourself of divine heritage, a god among men?

We won it through revolution, through battle skill and military might.

You justify your rule with your bloodline. Your father was ruler of Atalea, and his father and the father of the father of your father.

You got elected by the 10 aristrocats ,with the election right of course,  as new ruler of Atalea.

Your title is Lord Protector.

We exploited the inventions of a genius philosopher. There are many such people in our city, but as of yet we have failed to gain control of all of them...

this suggestion is invalid because it doesn't explain how you justify your rule nor how you came to power. You might have exploited an invention to win a battle, convince the people of your supernatural powers, bought their favor with this newly invented commodity, made a fortune by exploiting said invention, etc.

The inventions were willpower draining drugs. All our minions are husks of people, and we are trying to crush and convert the rebels.

You are a banker who took over the world by swindling everyone into such ridiculously huge amounts of debt, that no one could ever possibly pay itall off, and meanwhile used your ridiculous amount of money to make an third-generation army of elite bodyguard, who have been chosen and bred by the best warriors in the land, and a global intelligence-assassin network which everyone who's anyone knows is there, and can kill them within 24 hours of you giving the word.

Also, you have a mega-fortress at the World Courts, and you enjoy spending most of your time on the very high High-Master Judge's Chair, stroking your kitty.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces
