Ruler

An Observer and Keeper combined. A person tasked with supervision of an individual, a group of individuals, or a resource, with the express purpose of ensuring that they each follow a set moral, ethical, or logistical guide or list of rules, to promote efficiency, morale, or peace. Can often be used for darker purposes, based on the preferences and strength of the Ruler.

History shows that Rulers are usually corrupted by their own power, strung tight by the double-edged nature of their role - not just to make sure that others follow the rules, but to adhere to those rules themselves, when they are their own source of accountability. Therefore, it is recommended that a Ruler have support from other Rulers, and the understanding of their subjects. It is also important that a Ruler not be unnecessarily tasked with other positions, especially those of grandeur, as their primary task is simply to promote unity and adherence, not to dominate.

On the other hand, a Dominator is expressly given the purpose of victory over the will of another.
