Lanaforge is the new Local System Sovereign .

(511.1) 45:2.1 The chief executive of a local system of inhabited worlds is a primary Lanonandek Son, the System Sovereign.

In our local universe these sovereigns are intrusted with large executive responsibilities, unusual personal prerogatives.

Not all universes, even in Orvonton, are so organized as to permit the System Sovereigns to exercise such unusually wide powers of personal discretion in the direction of system affairs.

But in all the history of Nebadon these untrammeled executives have exhibited disloyalty only three times.

The Lucifer rebellion in the system of Satania was the last and the most widespread of all.

(511.2) 45:2.2 In Satania, even after this disastrous upheaval, absolutely no changes have been made in the technique of system administration.

The present System Sovereign possesses all the power and exercises all the authority that were invested in his unworthy predecessor except for certain matters now under the supervision of the Constellation Fathers which the Ancients of Days have not yet fully restored to Lanaforge, the successor of Lucifer.

(511.3) 45:2.3 The present head of Satania is a gracious and brilliant ruler, and he is a rebellion-tested sovereign.

When serving as an assistant System Sovereign, Lanaforge was faithful to Michael in an earlier upheaval in the universe of Nebadon.

This mighty and brilliant Lord of Satania is a tried and tested administrator.

At the time of the second system rebellion in Nebadon, when the System Sovereign stumbled and fell into darkness, Lanaforge, the first assistant to the erring chief, seized the reins of government and so conducted the affairs of the system that comparatively few personalities were lost either on the headquarters worlds or on the inhabited planets of that unfortunate system.

Lanaforge bears the distinction of being the only primary Lanonandek Son in all Nebadon who thus functioned loyally in the service of Michael and in the very presence of the default of his brother of superior authority and antecedent rank.

Lanaforge will probably not be removed from Jerusem until all the results of the former folly have been overcome and the products of rebellion removed from Satania.
