In political and historical discussions, an Overlord is an individual of immense power, intelligence, or influence who single-handedly manages or rules a civilization. The rulers of Singleton Societies, Overlords are often contrasted against their counterparts, Non-Singleton Societies, which require cooperation between many individuals, even if they are absolute monarchies.

There is much debate as to what exactly qualifies as an Overlord. Common attributes include immortality, remarkable thaumic abilities, the ability to single-handedly enforce their rule, superintelligence, a single discrete consciousness, and the will to influence political affairs.

In the past, especially before the beginning of the Common Era, Overlords represented the only viable form of civilization. They created a state of affairs hostile to anything but individualistic competition between themselves. Zaphenim, while usually referred to as an Overlord, greatly reduced their number during the beginning of the Common Era. In the modern day, Overlords continue to hold on to a great deal of power but generally represent the minority of civilizations in any given area.
