Ælfric III, the current King of Tretrid, serves as the head of state. The Tretridian throne is ''de facto'' [[w:Hereditary monarchy|hereditary]] as a result of various laws governing the succession, but the succession is ''de jure'' [[w:Elective monarchy|elective]], with the Witenagemot undergoing a largely ceremonial vote to confirm the accession of each monarch. The King serves a largely ceremonial role within the Tretridian government, but reserves certain powers that can be used in an emergency. The King also has the power to amend the Charter, though by convention amendments are only made following a referendum. The Tretridian monarchy and its adjacent institutions are metronymically referred to as the Falcon's Throne (''Fealcnes Cynesetl''), referring to the official name of the ceremonial throne of the King.
