Properties[]

As an archetype, a ruler of the heavens is a deity, divine lord, spirit or immortal-type being who rules the realm of the blessed dead, the upper skies and the cosmos, also known as the heavens. The ruler of the heavens will have authority and duties within the heavens with total control over its lands, the elements, the barriers, the creatures and the spirits/ghosts within the heavens, effectively bending the realm to their very well. Heavenly rulers are extremely powerful in their own right, however, can/may also be subservient to the very rules of heaven depending on the entity and if their able to bend those rules, even making new ones.

Unlike heaven lordship, which is just possessing total control over the heavens through mental, energy or even magical powers, but not necessarily it's actual ruling master. Whereas the heavenly ruler is the reigning master of the realm and sits as monarch through royalty, divine selection or representation, birth, taking it from another ruler, or even being its very source who will also possess extremely powerful abilities over the realm as its ruler.

Sky ruler's are just rulers of the skies within the atmosphere which can include the cosmos to a degree, however rulers of the heavens extend past just the skies and the cosmos, but also the Aether and the blessed realm of the dead, making rulers of heaven vastly more powerful than those who just rule the skies and the air.
