Ermarian is a planet orbiting the star [[Alxus]]. Its surface is ruled by the [[Empire]]. Its name is generally taken to mean "The Glorious", though this has been derived through much conjecture. It is definitely a human name, however, and has not been seen in written use before the twentieth century [[Before Pralgad]]. (See [[Naming of Ermarian]]).
