Wulfden oversees the entire Fjordell Empire and sits atop the [[Shu-Dereth#The Great Chain|Great Chain]] of Shu-Dereth.{{book ref|Elantris|12}} His word is considered holy by his subjects.{{book ref|Elantris|3}} He is presumed to be very wealthy.{{book ref|Elantris|17}}{{book ref|Elantris|53}} He has access to [[seon]]s and uses them for communication, despite their presumed origins in the "heathen" [[Aonic]] region of [[Sycla]].{{book ref|Elantris|12}}
He controls Fjorden's military, including a relatively small defense force{{book ref|Elantris|15}} and a fleet of ships that is competent but inferior to the Teo armada.{{book ref|Elantris|60}} Although the Empire could likely conscript more of its citizens into military service if needed,{{book ref|elantris|15}} Wulfden's true power lies in his [[Shu-Dereth#Monasteries|monasteries]], where Derethi are trained to be warriors, spies, and assassins.{{book ref|Elantris|15}} Wyrn or certain delegated priests control the deployment of the monks.{{book ref|elantris|36}}
