List of Falasturian monarchs
This is a list of rulers of Falastur, of the line of Terila. The Royal bloodline originates from the very first Falasturian Monarch, the grandson (by his Mother) of the English Duke of Bedford and thus of an inferior bloodline in the English Nobility. The nation of Falastur was for a short period a colony of England, but when Governor (later King) Matthew I realised that his colony was largely ignored by the English, and he could get away with various acts of autonomy, he made the first true step to creating the international power that is the Empire of Falastur today, in his declaration of independence. It was through this Act, and his subsequent announcing of the Kingdom of Falastur, that made rulership over Falastur hereditary, establishing the line of Terila.

Heraldry
While of little concern or interest to most, the arms of the House of Terila are still elaborate and show off the English heritage of the Emperors of Falastur.
The arms depict the crest of Terila, being a St. George's Cross with an Imperial Crown in the second quarter and the Sword of Justice in the third quarter. In the centre of the crest is the coat of arms of the city of London, around which the Earldom of Bedford is closely linked. It is this which was formed into the Falasturian Flag. Above the crest is the coronet of an Earl, reflecting the status of the Falasturian Monarchs in England as Earls of Bedford, and the coat has the two supporters of the lion and the deer, the lion being of England and reflecting the English history of the Terilans, and many of the early Falasturians, while the deer represents Falastur itself.
