Luidare II fan Casteri

Relesár Luidare II fan Casteri (1932 - 1975 4A), also known as Luidare the Black and Night Emperor, was an emperor of the Asatic Empire, reigned from her mother's abdication in 1948 to his own death in 1975 4A.

Luidare II was the first monarch born in the Casteri line. He ascended to the throne at the age of 16 and later married for the at the age of 18. His first wife was Caldu fan Cantari; their union resulted in three failed pregnancies and one stillborn child. Luidare II divorced her in 1958 and remarried in 1961 with Caldu's sister, Sönamno. After similar failures to produce a heir, the union was terminated in 1968. Luidare married for the third and last time in 1973 with Liáro fan Marizi, who failed to become pregnant before Luidare's death.

Reign
Emperor Luidare II ascended to the throne after her mother's abdication. Overall, his reign lacked any major disturbances and threats to the empire; by this time Obenism had become the majority religion for the masses and more and more noble houses converted. Luidare II was raised Obenist and adhered to the religion up to the end of his second marriage when he, frustrated by his inability to father a heir sought council with Yure of Astár, a preacher and prophet of Amnìr, the God of Night. Yure gradually gained more and more influence over the devastated emperor who converted shortly after.

For the second half of Luidare's reign, he had very little interest in stately matters and most decisions fell to his mother, who, despite her abdication, continued to be the de facto regent of the empire. At this time, Luidare fell deeper into the Cult of the Night, led by Yure and his associates, and started dabbling in occult rituals, all with the goal to ensure a heir.

Death
At midsummer, 1975 4A, Luidare attempted sacrificial suicide at a ritual led by Yure, to reincarnate through the womb of his wife as Emperor of the Stars. Luidare was saved by his guards, but died a year later. No heir and / or reincarnated emperor was ever born by Liáro.
