Vizir
A vizier (also known as a vezir or vazir) is a high-ranking government or court official, historically in the Middle East and Central Asia.

Vizirial
The word "vizirial" is not a common English word, but it is related to the term "vizier," which refers to a high-ranking official or advisor in a medieval or Middle Eastern court, often in a dynasty or empire.
