Adorable character designs, and very funny first episode. It's been quite some time since Mythos worked as a naming basis, I can only recall Demonbane

Also nice reference to the insanity check from the table-top

- Anna Jagiellon - King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania,
- Maria Theresa of Austria, while she was able to be crowned as Empress or Queen of most of her lands, she is crowed as King of Hungary in 1741.
- Irene of Athens, she often called herself "Basileus" (Emperor), rather than "Basilissa" (Empress).
- Lư Chiêu Hoàng, alway is claimed as Emperor of Dai Viet (Viet Nam) rather than Empress.
v.v....

Polish, Lithuanian, German (using Latin), and Byzantine Greek examples above are the same as English, there are distinct words separating male from female kings, emperors, etc.

Also the Japanese when using foreign words they occasionally ignore the gender for obvious reasons.
