In literature the term “overlord” is frequently employed to evoke an image of supreme authority or power, often within a feudal or hierarchical context. It is used to denote those who claim ultimate control over lands, vassals, or even abstract domains, as seen when a ruler’s authority is celebrated or contested in political narratives [1][2][3]. The word may also carry a figurative nuance, suggesting not only literal dominion but also the weight of ancient or metaphorical power, much like when an imperial figure dominates both physical and conceptual landscapes [4][5]. At times, the label is used in dialogue to underline a character’s commanding role or to inject a note of irony into social or military relationships [6][7].
