King of Zhaira is the title used by historians to refer to the rulers of the ancient Kingdom of Zhaira, though it may not have been the title used at the time. It has been suggested that the ancient kings instead used the title King of the Elves.
The formulaic history in which each king introduces a new aspect of governance to the kingdom suggests that it is at least in part legendary. The same histories record many kings ruling for "hundreds of years" and their true dates are unknown.
