In fact, the majority of his support did come from the outlands where traditional views were strongly held.

| abstract | - Del Imat was the leader of a coalition that led the Council of Regents of Bozisha-Dar and Stood in the path of Slu Carlon's aspirations to seize the crown. While Carlon looked the part of the cosmopolitan sophisticate, Imat could have walked out of the deepest desert only yesterday. In fact, the majority of his support did come from the outlands where traditional views were strongly held. Many of the city's elite payed only lip service to the traditions of their people, but Imat, along with many common folk of the Dar and the people of the hills and desert, held to the old ways tightly. In his position as Ambassador to Tresti, his demeanor was quite helpful. He and the members of his coalition stood firmly against those of the political community who pressed for innovation and change. Imat's residence in the Mansion of the Moon marked him as fourth among the regent-councilors in wealth, and he enjoyed nearly as much stability in his position as did Carlon. In addition to political work, he managed the city's largest shipping concern, sending vessels to trade along the southern coast of Gondor. For this reason, though he would never allow his land to fall under the rule of Gondor, he was sympathetic to the people of Dol Amroth. In appearance, Imat was lean and subdued, as befitted a pious man. His skin and hair were as black as coal, and his eyes a very deep brown. He wore traditional loose robes of dark blue or green and bound his head into a turban of red and orange. Like Carlon, Imat was an accomplished warrior, but he was not destined for greatness as a general. His standard displayed the full moon in silver and a drop of rain in blue upon a field of black.
