[[File:SpireofLight.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Diamond Palace]]

The Sanctum is under the absolute Executive rule of the Emperor who answers only to the Shepherdess. Judicial Rule is under the Absolute Court headed by the Shepherdess and the Supreme Court headed by the Noble of Justice and her Circle of Justiciaries. Legislative and administrative rule is divided amongst the 4 major domains under the 4 queens:

'''Alicia - High Queen of the Diamond Tower.'''

Technically, having inherited the title of 'High Queen' from her predecessor, Alicia commands the Council of Four Queens and the Round Table of Dominums. However, as she has only recently joined the Famiglia, responsibility over the Council of Four Queens has fallen on the reluctant shoulders of Elune while the Round Table of Dominums is overseen by Han Gua. 

'''Lyna - Queen of the Ruby Gardens.'''

The Ruby Gardens refers to the entirety of the Arcane Arts Academy Complex within the Outer Circle where the majority of mages of Excelestia train and live. However, to most of the citizens, the 'Ruby Gardens' itself refers to the seat of government, the Ruby Palace, a magnificent rose-shaped palace of crystal grown from the very essence of the Chancel itself in the middle of the Ruby Gardens. 

'''Elune - Queen of the Sapphire Sky.'''

The Sapphire Sky refers to the entirety of the sky in between the floating structures of the Sanctum. While Elune governs no real land, she controls all traffic in the airspace around the Sanctum. Her official seat of government is the Sapphire Palace, a beautiful crystalline Sapphire star floating high up within the Inner Circle, though she is rarely ever there. She usually lives in her observatory on a lonely island high above the Sanctum.

'''Jessie - Queen of the Emerald Fields.'''

The Emerald Fields refer to most of the land floating in the Ciellan Expanse, the sky beyond the Outer Wall. The Emerald Fields house a good portion of the Sanctum's agricultural and mining settlements. Her seat of government is the Emerald Palace, a beautiful viridian structure of moss-covered wood and succulent, fresh folliage that grow and thrive all year round, coiled around a giant magnificent Emerald of a green deeper than the land that surrounds it.
